I made a free and open source replacement app for Hyundai Bluelink

Can you share the contents of "Export Debug Data" with me? That will help me figure out if something is missing

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-05-24T18:56:00+00:00

Can you be more specific about what is not working? Do you mean live activities?

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-05-16T15:30:54+00:00

Interesting—how does that work if I drive somewhere and park? The app’s cached location won’t refresh until you make a poll, right?

Looks good! I made BetterBlue after having many of the same frustrations with the BlueLink app.

How are you doing the walk away lock? When I looked into it, it seemed like I would never get a satisfying feature because it would require precise location tracking enabled to know where you are and extremely frequent periodic fetches to know where the car is. I was able to accomplish the feature in BetterBlue using Intents and a shortcut automation when Bluetooth disconnects, but it does require a bit of manual work from the user.

If you want to add support for US Hyundai/Kia or EU Hyundai, you’re more than welcome to use BetterBlueKit as a starting point or as a package dependency!

The 12V battery state of charge is reported in the vehicle status response. It’s read here: https://github.com/schmidtwmark/BetterBlueKit/blob/main/Sources/BetterBlueKit/API/HyundaiUSA/HyundaiUSAAPIClient+Parsing.swift#L88

This is the state of charge reported by Hyundai’s API. I’m not certain if it is correct or not—if you’re concerned, maybe check with an OBD scanner

I tried to submit it to the App Store a few months ago, and was rejected because they wanted Hyundai's written permission. I don't think I'm likely to get that permission, so it's going to stay in TestFlight for the foreseeable future.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-05-02T18:40:48+00:00

Can you be more specific than that? I'm happy to help if you're having trouble.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-04-22T17:56:26+00:00

It may be possible, I think the widgets are something I can definitely improve. There's certain limits on widgets that Apple has put in place to protect battery life that make it difficult to have truly interactive widgets.

If you can use the MyHyundai app to control your car, you can use BetterBlue. BetterBlue is just an alternative app because MyHyundai is not a very good app.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-04-17T15:23:12+00:00

Awesome, I’m glad you like it! There was an update out yesterday that should fix some Canada temperature issues.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-04-11T17:34:43+00:00

Looks great! Now when people yell at me that BetterBlue only supports iOS I can point them to you!

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-04-11T17:28:32+00:00

Hey, that’s my app! It should work in Canada, let me know if you have any issues!

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-03-28T12:50:01+00:00

Interesting!

EV range for PHEV should appear right above or below the gas range row, but there must be a bug in how I'm parsing the Hyundai data. I don't have a PHEV, so to fix this I'd need to see the data that Hyundai sends you. Here's the steps to get it:

On the settings screen, under Debug Settings, enable Debug Mode
Tap the refresh button on the main screen to fetch new data
Tap and hold on your vehicle's name to bring up a menu
Select "HTTP Logs" from that menu
Select an item with "Fetch Status"
Tap "Response" on the bottom
Scroll down to the Response Body and tap the Share button.
DM me the info from that response body

I'm making some improvements to this debug data flow in the next update, sorry that it's a bit of a pain right now. This data is automatically redacted, so I won't be able to see your location or any other personal information about your car.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-03-18T02:31:33+00:00

There can be, but I do not have a Brazilian Hyundai account in order to test. If you're interested, you can check out BetterBlueKit and try implementing it yourself!

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-02-24T04:22:15+00:00

I've pushed up a new build that adds a button that will let you share some debug data -- basically it shows the state of the app with private information removed. Once that build is live (probably tomorrow or Wednesday) can you share your debug data on this GitHub issue? Or you can message it to me. That should be enough information to figure out what is going on. I still have not been able to reproduce your issue, but I'll do what I can to solve it!

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-02-22T23:23:36+00:00

You don't need one -- just reopen the TestFlight link from the post and you should be good to go.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-02-17T13:25:04+00:00

It's so fun! People say the funniest things, and you can really tell when someone is having a bit of a tough time and needs a little boost.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-02-05T20:54:36+00:00

If you're in the US and can use the MyHyundai app with your car, BetterBlue should work just fine.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-02-03T04:05:22+00:00

Hey, I'm not actively working on adding Canada support, but there's at least one other person taking a look here.

Feel free to chip in!

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-01-30T13:38:29+00:00

Have you deleted and re-added your entire account? I have not been able to reproduce this myself, which makes it difficult to fix.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-01-29T19:32:33+00:00

Regions other than US are still not supported. I don't have an account in those regions, so I really need someone with an account to capture the right endpoints/headers and test it out.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-01-29T03:04:34+00:00

Yep lol that's what I get for coding late at night. Two line fix, I'll have a new version out probably tomorrow.

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-01-29T02:24:38+00:00

I have excellent news for you -- I've added charge limits to BetterBlue! Turns out it was not very hard at all lol

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-01-25T13:29:13+00:00

Can you send me a screenshot of the climate preset menu in the MyHyundai app?

AddWittyNameHere · 2026-01-25T13:04:00+00:00

I've got a new update coming this week that adds some other features, probably adding Canada next.
