Hi,

I have an Australian Hyundai Ioniq 5 (no BlueLink or HUD in the current versions).  I'm also a developer; have mucked round with some hardware stuff, but it's been a bit.

I'm looking at whether it's worth attempting to use OVMS on my Ioniq 5.  Has anybody already started on this?  The idea of providing mapped OBD commands through to a HUD is definitely appealing, as would be getting charge status stats remotely.

If I were to start, which cable would I be best to get? Is it left or right that I need?  The port is to the right of my right-hand-drive steering wheel. At least I'm pretty sure that's the OBD2 port.  I'm new to ODB so not even sure how to recognise OBD vs OBD2!

What I know:

The old Hyundai Ioniq is a model that has EV, ICE, Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid versions.  The Ioniq 5 (and Ioniq 6, 7 etc) are part of a sub-brand based on E-GMP EV platform that is also shared by the Kia EV6.

So I don't know whether the old Ioniq or Kona would be a good start.

Skills:

 * C/C++ (though I'm currently using Delphi), so happy to with different 'real' languages.

 * I could solder up a lead or circuit board, but wouldn't be able to design a circuit board.

 * I've dealt with software on a  custom embedded controller  (albeit in Forth + Forth assembly)

Any advice on this?   I have older kids; the youngest is about to finish High School - so a new hobby might be a good thing to have :).  

Pointers to good introduction to ODB2 and the Ioniq 5 specifics if anybody has them would be welcome!
