Hyundai Elantra vehicle data API: signals, model years and connection options

DIMO gives developers API access to Hyundai Elantra vehicle data. Model years 2008 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi). Headline signals include odometer, fuel percentage and vehicle speed.

DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. For the Hyundai Elantra vehicle data API, the vehicle connects through a DIMO device, covering model years 2008 and newer. Coverage for this internal combustion model is tested, and it is listed as available globally. Vehicle owners consent to and control sharing, so builders get data with clear provenance.

Signals by connection type

No factory connectivity?

Hyundai Elantra model years 2008 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi) plugs into the OBD-II port and streams vehicle signals once the owner connects it and consents to sharing.

See the developer quickstart for how owners connect vehicles and grant access.

Events available

• Idling
• Refuel
• Harsh braking
• New diagnostic trouble code

Build it

Query the latest Hyundai Elantra signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';

const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect

const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
  client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
  domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
  private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
  ...developerJwt,
  tokenId,
});

// Latest Hyundai Elantra signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
  ...vehicleJwt,
  query: `
    query {
      signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
      powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      speed {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      }
    }`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
