BlueDeck is an unofficial, open-source Android app for controlling Hyundai and Kia vehicles through the Bluelink / UVO / Kia Connect APIs — inspired by the iOS app BetterBlue.
Important
BlueDeck is a user-created, independently maintained community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Corporation, or any of their subsidiaries, brands, or official apps (MyHyundai, Kia Connect, Bluelink, UVO, etc.). Use at your own risk. Vehicle remote features depend on Hyundai/Kia services and may vary by region, brand, and model.
Found a problem or have a request? Please use the GitHub Issues tracker — do not contact Hyundai or Kia about BlueDeck.
➡️ Submit a bug or feature request
When filing an issue, include:
- App version (Settings or Releases)
- Region & brand (e.g. Canada Hyundai, USA Kia)
- Vehicle model and year (if relevant)
- What you expected vs. what happened
- Steps to reproduce
Please redact emails, VINs, tokens, PINs, and location data before sharing logs or screenshots. See the Privacy policy.
- Lock & unlock doors remotely
- Remote start / stop (ICE) and climate control
- EV battery status, charging controls, and charge targets
- Vehicle status (doors, tires, odometer, and more)
- Home screen widgets and Material 3 UI
- Multi-region support: USA Hyundai, USA Kia, Canada, Europe, Australia/NZ
Note: BlueDeck is maintained by a single developer primarily testing with a Hyundai in Canada. Experience may vary by brand and region because Hyundai/Kia use different APIs per market. Bug reports from other regions are welcome and help improve coverage.
BlueDeck may show controls your specific trim does not have. In some regions the connected-car APIs do not report option packages in a usable way, so there is no reasonable way to hide every unsupported feature.
➡️ Vehicle features & capability detection — how the app decides what to show, and what “unknown” means for your car.
BlueDeck is free and maintained by a single developer. If you find it useful, you can support development on Ko-fi:
Donations are optional and appreciated — they help cover time spent on fixes, regional quirks, and new features. They are not required to use the app.
