Why this guide matters

From 2024, many Hyundai, Kia and Genesis cars switched to angle-based steering that stock openpilot cannot drive. The sunnypilot hkg-angle-steering-2025 branch is where the Ioniq 9, EV9, GV80 and 2026 Sportage are being made to work. This thread lists the harness for each car, the branches and the rules for testers.
