2024 Kia EV6, stock head unit.

Edit with some quick notes because I didn't realize this blew up:

This is NOT yet usable as a replacement to stock. Working:

• Boots! (32 bit only because stock is 32bit, so no AAOS)
• Display
• Touch
• WiFi
• Maybe BT
• Maybe Modem (not gonna test that)
• GPS (uses translation daemon)
• Climate/controls/sensors/some energy stats - as much as MICOM provides anyway (uses translation daemon)
• GPU
• VPU (really need to test more)

Not working yet:

• Audio/amp control
• Power sequencing like when to turn off display, wake/sleep etc
• Any kind of head unit experience (this will come later, I'll try AGL first, and if I can get 64 bit then I'll try AAOS)

Use NEMESIS to get root on Android: https://github.com/xwtk/hmg_nemesis

Blog post that has a small section on this: https://w-floyd.com/2026/10/notes-on-llms-part-01/#2024-kia-ev6-head-unit I'll post more there as I find the time. I am using LLMs for a lot of the heavy lifting as I try things out (never to write my blog). I link to my GitHub repos there, where this work is being actively pushed.

I only bought this car a week ago.

Don't be an idiot and actually reflash your unit if you try this - I am using kexec to boot from an image from the USB, so this is completely nondestructive (NEMESIS is what actually is installed to the system).
