Check Ioniq 5 Battery Data with This Tool! | Every Owner Should Have One

[@B9Robot]

Thanks Just bought one, hope it helps with my Ioniq 5 2022 SEL with 95,000 miles. I'm having trouble charging with a Level 2 Charger at home. I'm going to the Dealer tomorrow with a sheet I got online that addresses the issue. Thanks to you and others for sharing your finding with us. I'll be sure to make a video about my troubles and upload once I have all the information. Peace and Love be with you and yours.

[@Snafu2346]

that's a lot of miles. Did you ever find out what the issue was?

[@mlangweiler]

Thanks! Corbin. Been waiting on this forever😀

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

Have been using this scanner and app for many months by now with the Ioniq 5. Always find it very useful.

[@kxwitt]

Very useful video. Thanks. Do you leave the OBD2 connect plugged in or do you only plug it in when in use? Curious of there are concerns that it will drain the 12v if left in.

[@Richard-nb4iv]

I just bought one, bought the obd fusion app and did a quarter mile run in my EV, they have a performance section as well.

[@fardinderakhshan8594]

I have been using this device for my toyota Prius, and it works excellent.

[@IoniqRides]

This will come in very handy for us 2022 RWD owners with no battery heater…that unfortunately have to use the yo-yo regen technique in I-Pedal to heat the battery.

[@johnkozak6401]

Great content! From NH, just picked up my 2023 SEL AWD in Lucid Blue down in Mass yesterday. Thank you for all your helpful videos preparing me for my brand new HI5!

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Enjoy!

[@oliverkentish9468]

REALLY useful video, thanks! I'm going to get one of these. I've always hesitated in case I buy the wrong one, so good to have precise information. Now, let's hope they're still available ;-)

[@sethisenberg1982]

You convinced me, ordered.

[@howardschoenberger3526]

Thanks great video, have wanted to see something like this for quite a while. Finally used your info to get back to the default screen, had created screens myself which were not as good as what it has.

[@vlad2838]

In addition to power drain concerns, keeping any OBDII plugged in for longer periods of time exposes the vehicle to hacking risks. I have the same unit, which works wonderfully, but I find myself unplugging it when I’m not on a road trip where these metrics really matter.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Very good point!

[@susanclizbe6396]

Thanks. That’s what I came here to ask about!

[@michaelsilverstein7404]

Great video. I just bought the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE OBD-II and tried it out today. It connected on the first try and displays almost everything you described. But the 12V battery voltage and SOC cells on the phone screen are blank. I was in Park in my driveway trying it out, obviously with my 2023 IONIQ5 AWD Limited running. Any explanation?

[@terencestephenson4727]

I'm having the same issue and haven't figured it out yet.

[@davelavigne2133]

I bought this after your last video. For the Iphone, I didn't need any sort of code to connect. I really liked watching the battery coolant temp and the battery temp while charging and how that directly affected the charge speed.

[@AshleyDonaghey]

Does this give insight on your battery health? Like the percentage of degradation? Thanks!

[@ricardomejia4336]

will it work with ABRP? it is the only device on their “not recommended” OBD dongle list

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I tried using it with ABRP on a road trip 20 months ago and haven’t tried since. It didn’t go well so maybe that’s why

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Hello Corbin good timing I just bought the VeePeak OBD 2+ the one reason I wanted it is I have heard that ABRP is the best map system for road trips driving an EV and this OBD allows you to have the full display on the screen. I did speak with them and asked if you can leave the OBD plugged in 24/7 they said you can , what do you think? I also just heard that Google maps have just come out with an EV Google maps . Thanks great video it really showed what I could do with the OBD.

[@teedteed9130]

Does the ABRP connect with thus gadget to give you more accurate travel planning? I'm still waiting on my ioniq 5 to come in and am starting to shop around for items I may need before it gets here.

[@shaunmckenna1923]

@@teedteed9130 Yes does work , but Google maps have just out with a good update for free it also show all the EV charging stations . How long have you been waiting for your Ioniq 5 ? I have had mine on order now for 16 months , I got so fed up waiting so I was lucky to be able to buy a GV 60 Genesis love the car. I still have the Ioniq 5 on order maybe see it in Aug . Good luck with yours .

[@teedteed9130]

@Shaun Mckenna since Friday. I'm basically just waiting for them to ship it near my location. They said around mid April for me. Sorry you had to wait so long 😔. My situation is likely different from yours because I wanted the SEL in RWD for the extra range but wanted the 2022 model exterior lights so I went used for 41k with 8k miles. Does the Google maps update work similar to abrp for route planning? I'm gonna have to check that out thanks!

[@shaunmckenna1923]

@@teedteed9130 Oh you were lucky to find a used one , I am in Canada West Coast very hard to get here I have heard they are selling well over the list price. I havent used the Google Maps yet it looked good , the problem with ABRP is if you want it to come through on your car screen you have pay , it free for the basic , what I am going to do is use Google but plan it out on ABRP for free , but in most cases I will know my route so Google showing the EV stations is good , but also the Genesis Nav system is very good , which is just about the same as the Ioniq5 there maybe a few updates on the 2023 model .

[@amt1a351]

I recently bought an OBD dongle and used car scanner app today. Have you thought about doing a video explaining all the different fields the app shows with a detailed explanation? An example is it shows 2 coolant temps but I don't know which is which. Plus there are also other readings displayed that I have no clue what they mean. I have tried searching online but haven't found anything that does a good job going thru all the different data fields.

[@johndoe6032]

Thanks for hte info! Looks like the profile are maybe user-generated as there appear to be four of them just for the Ioniq EV prior to the Ioniq 5.

[@maggieleon8316]

Hey…first, I want to thank you for the information you share with us. I wanted to know if that extra tank that has to be drained every 30,000 mile was removed in the ionic 5N

[@alex-thebest]

Hellow, good video. Can you please explain about battery. I found only that it 72.6 KW, SK Innovation ncm811. How to charge it - best practice? How many cycles can it take ? Thank You

[@anthonyauerbach3992]

i like to use my apple watch to open and turn on my ioniq 6. i dont like having to place my watch on the charging pad. would it be possible to add a second NFT sensor to the driver door? i dont know the hardware and software issues, but it sure would be convenient!

[@cooleenavenue]

Thank you for creating this and all your videos Corbin! When you showed the screens and data here, I didn’t spot SOH - the state of health of your battery. I’ve seen SOH from this device posted on other forums. How is your battery’s SOH now, after driving it since you bought it? (I have a 2023 77.4kw limited)

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I’ve spoken to people that work at Hyundais testing facilities and they’ve told me that that number doesn’t accurately reflect the batteries state of health.

[@trevormf]

@@TheIoniqGuyis there anything available in this data that does give an accurate reflection of the battery’s health?

[@deepakvrao]

Thanks again. Saw it again. Can you leave it plugged in? Is the OBD port powered when the car is switched off?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yes, it’s powered. Unplug it when not in use

[@ronnelson06824]

Every one of my data boxes on the dashboard says “available on pro” I bought this due to your recommendation a month or two ago and it was fine for a month and now it’s forces me to buy the pro version to see anything ??????? I obviously know I’m doing something wrong. Thank you Corbin for any tips you can provide this old man

[@Mguy393]

Thank you for setting this up. When I went into the dashboard I didn't see any of the same data, just a genetic layout. Is there something else we need to do to see what you are seeing? Did you customize the pages?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

No, the pages were all there. Did you select what car you’re connecting to the app like I show in the beginning of the video?

[@Mguy393]

[@KenRaabe]

Nice reporting on user impressions of IONIQ 5. Please do video on the technology, specifically Bluelink vs Bluelink+ and contrast with Kia Connect. Also compare to Ford Bluecruise and Tesla. This info is not generally available to buyers of EVs. Thanks

[@kenrobison9722]

Corbin, I have been waiting for your input about OBD2 dongles to monitor battery temperatures and other features while charging as well as other APPs like A Better Route Planner. I hope you have or can get the information to link these either simultaneously or if that is not possible, let us know the best way to connect the various programs we will want for our cars. I have a 2022 Ioniq 5 Long-range, Limited AWD. The Ioniq does not have wireless Connection for Android Auto, so I have the Ottocast Bluetooth Broadcast which plugs in and communicates to my Galaxy Note 10+. I am still trying to figure out the best way to Use Android Auto vs the Hyundai internal navigation. (I'm old but trying to keep up.) Can OBD2 Dongles which include Bluetooth stay connected to the phone separately from the Ottocast, or will there be some sort of conflict. I have Better Route Planner Pro version and been they have recommended the OBD Link CX as the OBD Dongle. Will that work with the ELM Car Scanner App you demonstrated in the Video? I am trying to figure if I would need the the EV Notify App , Tronity, or some other app for ABRP. Thanks for all your help and great Posts!

[@TheSoccaplaya11]

I have the OBD2 in the video and Otto cast arriving in the mail today I can let you know if there’s conflict.

[@radiioman46]

Thank you for this info!

[@ChristianBorchgrevinkVigeland]

Can you leave it in at all times or does it draw to much power?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I’m pretty sure the OBD2 loses power pretty soon after the car is powered off so it shouldn’t drain anything but considering the number of I5 owners with 12V battery drain, I personally don’t take that risk

[@EV_OBD]

Always disconnect, OBD2 port is always powered on.

[@pcunier]

Merci, je vais l'acheter tout de suite.

[@maryhaley1529]

I notice you have Coding and Service on you dashboard...did you add this? My app doesn't have that. I have Ioniq5 2023.

[@camalexander8843]

Thanks for the video. Any reason not to get the newer Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ for use with iOS?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

The unit I show in the video also works with iOS. I think I went with this one because it was cheaper when I bought it.

[@harivenkata8189]

Hi , Do any of the OBD2 data logger devices for EVs come with a SIM card ?

[@Alloballo123]

I just got one, and question: my SOC and remaining energy do not match up, math wise. there's about a 5% discrepancy between SOC and remaining energy in terms of kw displayed. Im assuming this is because some of the battery held in reserve, but can you check yours as well, and see if you have a similar thing? Edit: never mind yours is the same. Displaying about 6 percent discrepancy in remaining energy (47.8 kw) versus SOC (66%).

[@MrJgibo1]

I just ordered today to see what is going on with my dead 12volt. After jumping starting my ev6 it is showing 255% soc for the 12 volt. Could this be because it is charging?

[@mvermonty290]

I purchased this same unit for my 2022 Ioniq 5 Limited ed. When using it, my HUD would reset randomly, which was concerning. I've since returned the unit. Have other folks with the Heads Up Display had similar issues?

[@Cory182]

If you use one of those cheap Bluetooth dongles, just make sure to pull it out when you're done with it. Keep in mind that if you can pair it using 1234 as the PIN, so can anyone else. ;)

[@guywhatley3219]

I assume you can leave it plugged in and connect to airplay and view it on main car screen while driving?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I’ve used it in tandem with a better route planner while driving and that worked. I can’t comment about exactly what you describe but probably would work

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

I don’t think AirPlay for the Ioniq 5 entertainment screen exists…

[@guywhatley3219]

Sorry for my ignorance in terminology, what i was referring to is when you plug your phone in via the usb under the dash and you phone appears on the screen, thus the app. Would / could appear there also while driving.

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

@@guywhatley3219 No, the CarScanner app isn’t a CarPlay enabled app, so it doesn’t appear. I use a separate phone holder with iPhone plugged into the USB port so I have CarPlay on the screen and show the CarScanner screen on the iPhone.

Does this work with ABRP premium?

[@patrickyum5790]

dose it show the soh of the battery? thanks

[@timothypage1817]

Is there another way? I have Metro Mile, so that dongle port is already being used. What about a splitter? Are there splitters for the OBD2 so that someone can have two dongles connected?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Looks like such a thing does exist! amzn.to/3G0nlg1

[@robocheme880]

I use Metro mile, too. I just asked for a 12V adapter which you plug into the cigarette lighter. It's free

[@KevinMarshallsay]

Does that OBDII scanner require re-pairing everytime you power on the Ioniq5? I've got one for mine to use with ABRP but I have to re-pair it with ABRP every time I want to use it (which is kind of annoying)

[@TheIoniqGuy]

For me, whenever I plug the scanner back in my phone recognizes it and all I do is hit connect in the car scanner app. Takes 5 seconds to connect tops

You can get an OBD2 extention cable with switch for $11 from Amazon. Then you can leave it connected and just hang it over the base of the steering wheel, and only turn it on when you want to read the data. That way you won't run down the 12v battery

The best way to tell battery degradation would be to drive the car till completely empty, charge it to 100% and then using this device, see what the total amount of energy put into the battery is.

Wish this worked. Unfortunately the latest version of Veepeak seems a bit different, and won't connect to the ECU. It connects to the device, but not the ECU so it won't read anything from the car.
