IONIQ 5 Companion is an independent diagnostic tool for the Hyundai IONIQ 5. Plug an ELM327-compatible BLE OBD-II adapter into your car's diagnostic port and the app reads battery state, charging telemetry, tire pressures, and ECU information directly from your vehicle's data bus.
CARPLAY
- Driving tab with two rows of live chips: pack state of charge, pack power, odometer, 12V state, cell delta, motor RPM, headlights — and tire pressures, climate, preconditioning, battery heater, battery temperature, brake light
- Tire-pressure tile shows pressure and temperature
- 12V chip shows state of charge, voltage, and current
- Dynamic Charging tab during EVSE sessions, including a convenient session timer to keep track of your charge time at a quick glance
- Dynamic EVSE tab during charging with session details - see what capabilities the EVSE has communicated to your vehicle
CHARGING TELEMETRY
- Live AC and DC charging detection
- EVSE max voltage / current / power (J1772 + CCS)
- Control Pilot duty cycle — the EVSE's advertised max-current capability
- ICCU input voltage and AC current
PRECONDITIONING READINESS ETA
- Live "Time to 70°F / 21°C" battery-temperature ETA showing when your pack will be ready for optimal DC fast charging.
- Visible on the Dashboard and as a CarPlay chip during preconditioning. Now also visible on the driving tab for the drive to the station.
LIVE DASHBOARD
- State of charge, available energy, voltage, current
- Battery cell min/max temperature
- Battery cell voltages
- Battery heater status during preconditioning
- Tire pressures and temperatures
- Motor RPM, ignition state
- 12V auxiliary battery — state of charge, voltage, current, temperature, plus DC-DC converter telemetry
- Outside and cabin temperature, relative humidity
- Indicators for headlights (low and high beams) and brake lights
- ICCU details share card with VIN-redacted share sheet for easy sharing
INSPECT

Community Voice & Feedback
I have a 2023 Ioniq 5 and it works flawlessly. Very easy and quick to set up. I love how I can use it with Apple Car Play and have all the info displayed on my screen while driving.
This is a great App - no need to fuss around with the others that require a lot of configuration and are obviously built for ICE vehicles. Thank you to the dev.
Not sure what is “partially functional” regarding the Ioniq 6 but I’m using it with a MY2024 AWD i6 and I can’t find anything non-functional at first glance. Does the job, great stuff.
This app is incredible. Sooooo much nicer to use than the rest of the OBD reader apps out there. Thank you for making it!
I love the CarPlay integration. This app is well-designed and feels like it should ship with the car. Can confirm it works well with my Kia EV6. Eager to try it out on a road trip!
I’ve just started using this app but wanted to provide my initial impressions. Connection to my Veepeak adapter was instantaneous. The UI is very well done, with everything presented in an easy to understand format. I like the graphical representation of the items and how everything is well organized. The information presented is above and beyond what is normally available and, while most might be accessible through other apps, this is clearly tuned for maximum info with minimum fuss on the Ioniq 5. The CarPlay interface is great too, providing near real-time (probably only limited by transmission from the adapter) at-a-glance information for much of the most critical information while either driving or charging. It’s obvious a lot of thought went into designing this app. I can’t wait to see what other enhancements the developer has in mind.
I could not get the app to connect it first. I had to unlink ABRP, link this app, force quit this app, re-link ABRP and now both apps see the dongle at the same time.
This app has a much better CarPlay interface than Car Scanner
