How to access the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV Journey Planner on Kia EV6 & other EV’s such as Niro EV

[@thomasschreiber2960]

Thanx for this great cheat! Tried it today with my EV6 RWD here in Germany. Unlike in your video, there were only useful charging stations chosen along the route. Even the filter set to Ionity was taken into account, where no Ionity was available, Allego or EnBW was chosen. In this way, more than the previous two waypoints, namely up to 4, can be used. Really great!

[@evodessey]

Cheers Thomas,glad you found this useful,I will do some more testing on this because I think it has more positives than negatives. Yesterday I did try to filter just to Ionity but will give it another go

[@Antiguan_Dart]

Love your curious nature Brian. Good to see this is seemingly something they are working on. Once the database is up to date, filters enabled and quality assured will be a nice additional feature. It’s a testament to Tesla’s tech staff and their database of chargers that they do this so well already.

[@evodessey]

Cheers Tony,yeah Tesla’s Nav software & network is still the envy of the Industry.

[@TechnicallyJeff]

Got this working in my EV6 in the USA. Getting to engineering mode then finding the setting is different over here, but I got it working and it seems to work well so I'll be sharing a video on it probably tomorrow. Thanks Brian!

[@evodessey]

Wow I’m surprised it works on US models. Looking forward to seeing how you get into engineering mode over there. Probably in the setup.version screen i would guess (the old oldway😂)

[@TechnicallyJeff]

@@evodessey Yep it's working fine in mine. Honestly never used Engineering mode before this so I'm not sure if it's the old way lol

[@ram-ck7ti]

Guessing their database of charging stations is not up to date for this feature to work properly. Nice to see they are working on it. Thx

[@evodessey]

Online charging database was updated last month. It’s the logic & location tagging that’s gone a bit wrong. It works well if you plan a journey across Europe with the right answers. Trust me to find the bug😂

[@CANC3ROUS]

Tried this out, worked perfectly for me, and also did the battery preconditioning to the charges too bonus. However, it doesn't seem to save, so I'm guessing you have to do this method before going on a long trip to take advantage of it

[@jeanmiegoiste]

Thnx for the test ! We just probably have to wait for a pair of months. It is promising, despite the lack of range left at destination indication. The Brussel bug is funny. Hoping that Ioniq 6 doesn't have it ;) Greetings from France !

[@evodessey]

I must try a longer journey so Barcelona tomorrow to see if it takes in Brussels😂…

[@evodessey]

I honestly could not stop laughing at that bug😂

[@MurrayCrane]

Worked in our Soul Maxx (2022) without any errors; not that I'd use it (per se), I'm an ABRP Premium subscriber and use that for any journeys longer than an hour or two (now that it syncs our live data), but having options that mean I don't need to have my mobile/ODB-II dongle plugged in is always good.

[@Icare51100]

Hello Murray, can you tell me what dongle you bought on your EV6?

[@LaReynedEpee]

The car is urging you to escape this sceptic Isle 😂

[@evodessey]

😂 Are you sure you’ve not hacked it to go to France via Belgium?😂😂 You are still going?

[@marcbles6380]

Just tried it out on a 2020 Niro EV with gen 5 Navi widescreen: it works and even it even renders useful results!

[@evodessey]

Cheers Marc, that’s great to confirm what i suspected.

[@marcbles6380]

I’m currently in Denmark and the suggested route from Kia, home to the Netherlands (750 km’s) has two logical charge stop suggestions!

[@evodessey]

@@marcbles6380 Is that good or bad? I’ve tested with a journey planner route to Athens in Greece and it only does the first 4 charging stops.

[@marcbles6380]

The charging stops suggested are on the same spot as I manually selected via PUMP, so would say: yes the results look OK

[@KIA_E-NIRO_MY20]

11:44 it says, the charger is further away as the destination haha. But nice feature by the way, hopefully they will make it usefull with the next software update!

[@jasonblair4057]

Good to see they are working on it, it’s not ready for prime time yet. But a fun video.

[@sungju58]

Wow~ Great~!!

[@EV-olution]

Very nice catch, but it is not very reliable. I have an Ioniq 6 press car reserved for May 8th, so I will see if the feature is available from the factory in the Canadian version of the Ioniq 6.

[@evodessey]

Cheers Andre,Technically Jeff hunted down the setting in EV6,N American version. It’s more advanced than on EU software. I don’t know it it works on Canadian EV6’s kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5iYamlurt1mbtE

[@EV-olution]

@@evodessey thank you very much. I will check it out.

[@EV-olution]

@@evodessey I just went to test it and the Canadian version is different from both the European and US ones. It resembles the US access, but has a different number of taps. It may also have to do with the fact that my EV6 is from early 2022 and has an older software. I will make a video about it since nobody has done it for Canada. Thanks again.

[@Jock55]

Hi Brian, thanks for demonstration, I think! I certainly won't be deleting ABRP or Zap Map from my phone any time soon!

[@evodessey]

😂😂😂

[@Acc3nt]

It works on Ioniq 5 in Sweden. Thanks 🙏

[@DerBlauzahn]

Have you any idea, why in us version you can see arrival soc and charging time? is it a different hardware? cheers!

[@evodessey]

Just a later version of the software as far as i know.

[@DerBlauzahn]

@@evodessey so do you think, it will become a feature, later, also in Europe?

[@evodessey]

@@DerBlauzahn Absolutely, i cant see a reason why not fingers crossed.

[@DerBlauzahn]

@@evodessey oh, that would be great! It's a very useful feature 🤞

[@DerBlauzahn]

I just saw the new video @technicallyjeff and they removed the feature at the updated software. Timemark 5:20 😔

[@howardkendall1398]

Mine is doing the same if I put in anywhere far south it sends me to Belgium

[@chrisp7839]

Is the co-ordinates of the Brussels charger east of Greenwich when the real charger should be the same number of degrees west of Greenwich - looked like the distance south was about right, it was looking for a charger east of Greenwich instead of west

[@evodessey]

Maybe, it stopped doing it last time I tried

[@evodessey]

@@chrisp7839the US version of this went live yesterday so we will probably get this in the next EU one,end of May start of June

[@ronshep]

Think I will stick to ABRP for now. 😊

[@evodessey]

Good plan👍

[@TheAegisClaw]

If you navigate to Barcelona does it plan multiple stops?

[@evodessey]

Probably.I need to test more but i spent far too long faffing with it yesterday & today..

[@hfp77]

Yes. I tried it on my Ioniq 5 and got a similar charge planing result as with abrp. South of Germany to Barcelona

[@klausica15]

This worked for IONIQ MY21, but after every shutdown of the car the setting is removed. Any solution for a permanent fix?

[@evodessey]

Not until they release it officialy.

[@HobbesFR]

Hello, I have the same "fading" problem with the charge settings (night hours for electricity,...) Any idea how to keep these settings "alive"?

[@evodessey]

Sorry I don’t understand do you mean the journey planner? Then no. It’s either keep the car on or wait for an official release of this feature.

[@HobbesFR]

@@evodessey the settings for charging sessions (hours starting/ending, hours of departure) are frequently resetted to none. I don't know why. However, percents of max charging for ac/dc remain in memory.

[@evodessey]

@@HobbesFR they fix it with one head unit update then brake it in another. I always use my Zappi charger schedule, can't be doing with the cars buggyness. Hopefully fixed in the next May update

[@Takusman]

or, or, wait for waze to globally update their latest version, it comes with route planing

[@chrisp7839]

Waze won’t pre-heat your battery though, will it ?

[@rafaelz.5354]

It works very well but when I turn the car off and on it goes away

[@evodessey]

I know and i do say in my video that the setting is not persistent. That’s why i give some tips towards the end of the video about keeping the head unit alive. Once you turn the car off you have around 20 minutes before the head unit shuts down and loses the setting. It will be great when this feature makes it into the released version without having to mess with engineering mode.

[@peterhelincks2438]

Hi Brian. Unrelated question but related to the engineering mode. Is there a website where you can check the latest versions of all software that is listed in the engineering mode? Here in Belgium, some owners had their EV6 updated by the dealer but afterwards the navigation- and infotainment-software was still one or two versions behind. Is there a way you can check if they actually did any updates by checking the software versions in the engineering mode or something else? 🤔 Thx!

[@evodessey]

Yes there is for almost everything apart from the VCMS. You need Car Scanner,an OBD dongle & Engineering mode kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqvdpYWoiLusmMk Engineering Mode password has changed to 19500624 if you have latest head unit software 221223

[@peterhelincks2438]

@@evodessey Thanks for your answer and the new password! 👍 I know you can see most of the version numbers in the engineering mode, but how do you know these are actually the latest available software versions? Can you find these online? Thanks!

[@evodessey]

@@peterhelincks2438 Not without someone doing a Car scanner scan of an up to date car. There is nowhere else to find the info.Closest i have is my scan of the full GT Link to Carscanner ECU ID dump text file for all controllers with software versions:- drive.google.com/file/d/1XGP40GnMKnj4MqpiMXl6XwtSR0HFc3Pu/view?usp=drivesdk but GT already has different & later version of BMS so limited use i guess.

@@patrickvansinay4611 For me it worked correctly when i tried it last week. Others have still been getting the fault though. I think it’s down to a bug in the Brussels charger data having the incorrect latitude and longitude set.

[@TheLastMoccasin]

Wait.... it's 2023 and these still don't just auto add charging stops to your route by default? Really?

[@dasunikat1534]

The thing is: You really don't need it. I had my EV6 for 3 weeks and knew my car's range better than any app ever could. So I ignored any charging recommendations with a way better result (less stops, less time wasted). These kind of systems are only good for very 'non tech' people. But they are just no neccessity even if it seems that way to non ev drivers.
