[Ovmsdev] Anyone working on Ioniq 5?

I was interested in the Ioniq 5 for myself, perhaps to replace my ageing Model S. But just got a rather amazing reply from the local distributor (who promotes it as available her). Summarising:

Can see the car in the showroom
No stock for sales
No test drives available
Tentative 2024 pricing
2024 Q2 for next delivery batch
Can pre-order for that with large non-refundable deposit
Incentives may be gone by then

Looking online, it seems some people have started looking at the ionic 5 CAN bus. The OBDII connector is apparently functional, and the system is request-response (PID) based. So that video on polling OBDII PIDs will probably be a good starting point for you. I would work up from basics (first discover what ECUs are responding when the car is on, then find which PIDs are on each ECU, then try to decode the PIDs one by one). With a new car, I normally start with the obvious simple stuff like SOC% (which maybe on the standard fuel level PID). I also suggest you post on some of the Ioniq user forums, to see if anybody else is looking into this.

Regards, Mark

For example this looks pretty good and probably covers most of what is needed for the Ioniq 5: https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/torque-pro-pids-for-ioniq-5.37793/ <https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/torque-pro-pids-for-ioniq-5.37793/>

If using windows, you can follow the “Developing with Visual Studio Code (on Windows)” instructions there. If using Linux/Mac, you follow the “Vehicle Firmware Development Tools (Linux/Mac)” section.
