A modern iOS app for controlling your Hyundai or Kia vehicle using BlueLink and Kia Connect services. Built with SwiftUI and powered by BetterBlueKit.

• Lock/Unlock your vehicle remotely
• Climate Control with custom temperature, defrost, and seat heating
• Charging Control for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles
• Real-time Status monitoring

• Electric Vehicles (BEV) - battery level, range, charging status
• Gas Vehicles - fuel level and range
• Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV) - both electric and gas systems

• Home Screen Widgets - quick vehicle status on your home screen
• Lock Screen Widgets - see battery and range at a glance
• Control Center Widgets - lock, unlock, and control climate from Control Center (iOS 18+)
• Live Activities (Beta) - real-time charging progress on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Apple Watch App - control your vehicle from your wrist
• Watch Complications - battery percentage on your watch face
• Siri Shortcuts - automate vehicle actions with voice commands
• Dark Mode - full support for light and dark themes
• Multiple Accounts - manage vehicles from different accounts
• MFA Support - seamless multi-factor authentication for Kia accounts

• HTTP Logging - detailed request/response debugging

• BetterBlueKit: Swift package handling all API communication
• SwiftData: Modern Core Data replacement for persistence
• SwiftUI: Declarative UI framework
• Combine/Async: Reactive programming and concurrency
• CloudKit: iCloud sync for settings and accounts

The project uses SwiftLint for code style enforcement:

swiftlint lint

• HTTP requests are logged in the app under Settings > HTTP Logs
• Vehicle status can be monitored in real-time
• Fake vehicles support custom scenarios for testing

Live Activities display real-time charging progress on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. This feature is off by default and can be enabled in Settings > Widget Settings.

To keep the Live Activity updated, BetterBlue uses a lightweight backend service that sends silent push notifications to refresh the charging status periodically.

• No vehicle information is sent to the backend
• No account credentials leave your device
• Only your device's push token is stored temporarily
• Tokens are automatically deleted after 8 hours

The backend is fully open source - see LiveActivityBackend/ for the source code.

• Credentials: Stored securely in iCloud with SwiftData
• Network: All API calls use HTTPS encryption
• Live Activities: Only push tokens are sent to the backend (no vehicle data)

• Subscription Required: You need an active BlueLink/Kia Connect subscription
• Battery Impact: Frequent remote commands may drain your vehicle's 12V battery
• Rate Limits: Respect API rate limits to avoid account suspension
• Unofficial: This app is not affiliated with Hyundai or Kia
• Terms of Service: Ensure you comply with your vehicle service terms
