A mod manager for Hyundai, Kia and Genesis Gen5W navigation head units.
Mods add features to the head unit (wireless CarPlay and Android Auto with turn-by-turn on the cluster and HUD, buttons that do more, side panel pages, and more) without patching its apps. HMG-API hooks the car's own software while it runs, gives every mod a switch, settings and a log, and puts back exactly what a mod changed when it's removed.

Download the zip for your route from Releases: a USB stick (no computer), NEMESIS, or adb. Step by step: Installing HMG-API.
HMG-API runs on any Gen5W navigation head unit. Cars with a hook map get everything; on others, mods still install and run, and the app's Car Report sends what's needed to add your car (Supported cars).
| Car | Region | Software | Hook map |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kia EV6 | USA | 260507 | checked on a car |
| Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 | Canada | 260206 | waiting for a Car Report |
| Hyundai Ioniq 5 | USA | 260507 | waiting for a Car Report |
Open an issue: something doesn't work, car or firmware support (the Car Report's QR code fills it in), a new hook point, or an idea. Guides are in the wiki.
Status: 1.0.0 in development. Tested on a US Kia EV6 (260507): the hook runtime, mods, the app, buttons, the side panel, Android Auto turn-by-turn and projection events, the Car Report. CarPlay on HMG-API, the installers on a car without adb, and other cars aren't tested yet. Leafia 1.x (HMG Leafia Plus) is the previous project.

tools/mkinstallers.sh makes three downloads in out/dist/, all carrying the same payload and ending in install/common/install.sh:
| Download | For |
|---|---|
hmgapi-<v>-usb.zip |
a USB stick. Nothing installed yet: Engineering Mode > USB Copy > DSP > Update OTA. NEMESIS installed: its USB install. HMG-API installed: the app's updates (HMGAPI/updates, with the mods). An empty HMGAPI/UNINSTALL file uninstalls through the DSP route. |
hmgapi-<v>-nemesis.zip |
a NEMESIS package (an update keeps HMG-API and its mods) |
hmgapi-<v>-adb.zip |
hmgapi-adb.sh install | uninstall | status over adb (first install: root from NEMESIS) |
Uninstalling puts every file and setting HMG-API or a mod changed back to the stock bytes.
./build.sh
Everything goes to out/. Needs clang + lld, a JDK, the Android SDK (build-tools, a platform android.jar), the head unit's own /system/lib (SYSLIB, to link the loader against) and the app's signing key (HMGAPI_KEY).
tools/test-all.sh
Runs the off-car tests under qemu-arm. With stock trees listed in tools/hook-trees.local
(private), it also tests every hook point on every car (tools/test-hooks.py) and the
on-car mapper against tools/map-car.py (tools/probe-test.py).
