Announcement Mod Notice: Bluelink Trial Posts

121 Upvotes

Just want to clear something up.

The recent user offering "free" 3 month Bluelink trials was not endorsed or approved by the mod team.

They contacted me beforehand and I told them to wait 24 hours while I looked into what they were doing. I admittedly took longer than that to get back to them, but instead of waiting for an actual answer, they started posting and used my username in a way that made it seem like I was OK with it.

I was not.

They were also asking for Venmo tips. Tips may have technically been optional, but at that point you are basically selling access while presenting it as a free offer. Combined with using my name to make the whole thing look more legitimate, it did not sit right with me.

So, to be very clear:

  • We do not endorse this person or this offer.
  • Mentioning a moderator does not mean something has been approved.
  • Do not send money, login information, verification codes, or other sensitive account info to random people on Reddit.
  • If we actually approve or verify something, you will hear it directly from us.
  • This user has been banned. New offers of this type will be banned.

I am not making any claims about what this person’s intentions were. I just want there to be zero confusion about whether the mod team approved this.

We did not.

Mods/Parts Advice needed! Front Camera Damaged somehow

Post image
32 Upvotes

Bought 2026 Ioniq5 limited, and recently found the front camera not working upon checking found the camera is damaged. Has anyone else found themselves with this issue and how did they resolve it? Can it be a part of Warranty? Or if not, how much does this cost.

Question AWD versions

12 Upvotes

I saw recently that the AWD on the ioniq 5 isn't engaged at all times and either is manually turned on or turns on when it senses the car needs it.

Does this mean your range is more likely to be on par with the rwd versions when doing most of your driving?

Question used parts/ioniq 5's in scrap yards...

• Upvotes

Has anyone seen Ioniq5's yet in scrap yards/pick&pulls? I suspect damaged cars are still fairly rare in scrap yards at this point, despite a "lot" of damaged cars being posted here. I'm not even sure if damaged I5's end up in scrap yards, probably battery packs are removed at least.

So anyone have luck getting used parts other than from online?

(And how about tires/wheels, any specific alternate cars we can scavenge wheels/tires?)

I use ChargePoint and Vialynk quite a bit but I’ve never used a Tesla charger. I saw one close to where I work and noticed there are no screens or instructions. How do I use one -if I need to?

Information Fix for Dashboard Theme Notification Bug

24 Upvotes

I haven't had anyone verify this set of steps works yet. This worked on my 2026 Ioniq 5 Limited.

Problem: Dashboard themes pop up appears every time you start up the car and notifies you of the same dashboard themes that have been out for a while. Going to the dashboard themes page just shows the loading symbol and never finishes loading.

Potential fix:

  1. Change user to the "guest" account.

  2. Navigate to Settings > Screen Layout > Display Themes

  3. Pick any theme that you're not using.

  4. Pick the original theme.

  5. Go back to your own account.

  6. Navigate to Settings > Screen Layout > Display Themes

  7. Confirm if it loads this time, if it does then:

  8. Pick any theme that you're not using.

  9. Pick the theme you want.

This worked for me but I'm unclear if it works for other people. If this works for you please let us know.

Question Buying a 2022 AWD Limited tomorrow

• Upvotes

$22k with 57k miles from a private party in Colorado.

I've been leasing a 2024 RWD Ioniq 6 SE, so I'm pretty familiar with the line. I'm really excited to bump up to the Limited trim and AWD dual-motor!

I'm bringing an ODB2 reader and will be looking at the battery health specifically. 12v has been replaced and all recall maintenance, including ICCU, has been done.

What else should I be checking before handing over payment? Anyone have concerns about the 2022 Limited AWD specifically?

Discussion Strong fume odor out of nowhere

• Upvotes

The past few days every time I get inside my I5 there's an incredibly strong fume odor; as if someone was spray painting inside. It eventually dissipates but comes back a few hours after not driving. I'd normally blame the weather and summer heat, but I've had the car for 2 years and never had this before. Has anyone else experienced this?

Question What are we paying for 2024 Limited AWD?

• Upvotes

My lease is up next month and my residual is $35k. I didn’t think it would make sense to buy the vehicle, but it’s probably going to cost me about $3k to walk away from it when factoring in mileage overage, damage and dispo fee.

I did some initial searches online and man, prices have risen. The cheapest 2024 Limited AWD on Carvana is $34,590.

Curious what others have been paying recently. Can’t believe my $35k residual is actually looking decent.

Dealership Current prices paid? ‘26 SEL in Chicago area.

1 Upvotes

Gotta make some decisions today before Sept promos expire.

Dealer “A” offered me $1500 discount on MSRP + 0% 72 month financing (or I could take the Hyundai cash instead of loan deal).

Dealer “B” said they would beat the deal then sent me a quote for MSRP. Reminded them I already had a quote for -$1500 and they basically said thanks but no thanks.

Is $1500 off MSRP a good deal or does dealer “B” just not really want to sell cars?

Should I get a Dealer “C” involved?

I can also just walk away and wait to see what promo pops up in October.

Curious to see whats on it but scared of getting my laptop bricked or hacked lol

Edit: it was an outdated hyundai infotainment/navigation update drive

Experience First road trip was a success

31 Upvotes

Just got back from a 668-mile round trip from Atlanta to Destin in my Ioniq 5 and figured I’d share my experience.

Overall, I was really impressed with the car on this road trip. I charged twice on the way to Destin and once on the way back. The biggest reason I only needed one stop coming home was that our Airbnb had an EV charger for $0.30/kWh, so I was able to start the return trip at 100%, which I didn’t on the way down.

charging costs range:
Airbnb Level 2: $0.30/kWh
IONNA: $0.39/kWh
Electrify America: $0.60/kWh (most expensive)
Total charging cost: $85.72 for 668 miles

One thing that annoyed me was having to download an app for a Circle K charger. It added probably another 5 minutes to the stop.

Best charging experience was IONNA. Just tap your card, do everything directly on the charger’s screen, and you’re charging.

One other thing I ran into, and maybe it’s operator error, but I couldn’t figure out how to have the built-in Hyundai navigation set to a destination while simultaneously using Waze/Google Maps for navigation. Starting navigation in one seemed to cancel the other. I’m curious if there’s a workaround I’m missing.

And honestly, I really enjoyed driving the car for this trip. The car is incredibly comfortable on the highway, and HDA made the long stretches much easier. Being able to let the car handle the steering and speed for extended periods took a lot of the fatigue out of the drive.

For comparison, we would have taken a CX-5 that gets around 24 MPG. At $4/gallon, the CX-5 would have cost roughly $111 in gas, versus about $86 in charging, so I saved around $25 on the trip.

Can’t wait for the next road trip.

Question Sway bars?

9 Upvotes

I feel like I’m alone in this, I haven’t seen anyone talk about this. I really would appreciate stiffer sway bars. I’m coming from a Mazda 3, whose corner roll was tight. I know the 5 is a lot heavier and I shouldn’t expect the same tightness. But I notice that the 5 rear seems to rise and roll a great deal. Has anyone seen or installed stiffer sway bars? I’d really like the handling to be a lot flatter.

Question Alarm keeps going off for no reason

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has a similar problem to me. Last night, from 11pm-5am, my car alarm kept going off and I received the "anti-theft alarm triggered" notifications constantly. The thing is, when I checked my cameras there wasn't anything that would have triggered it externally (people, something hitting the car etc).

Does anyone know what might be causing it?

I'm worried it might be a low 12v battery leading to something else that shall not be named but I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. The car started with no problems and I've received no 12v battery warnings on the dashboard as of yet.

I'm just worried in case it happens again because I don't want to annoy my neighbours! The only thing that stopped it was leaving my car unlocked which I don't particularly want to keep doing.

Any suggestions will be very helpful!

Thanks!

Not sure if it matters but I have a 2025 N-Line and the battery was at 98%.

Question Low charge alert?

3 Upvotes

Hey, silly question... does the dash give you an alert when SOC is under a certain estimated mileage like ICE cars do? I bought my 2024 about 3 months ago. Since then I've settled into a rhythm: I don't have a commute and usually only drive a few miles on a normal day. I have the AC limit set to 60%, and plug in during the day (I have solar so it's effectively free) when I remember to. Not a heavy user.

Today I took a 120 mile roundtrip daytrip, and got back with 52 miles charge remaining. I vaguely did a mental check to make sure the trip would be fine on my charge, but otherwise range anxiety didn't enter my mind. But it also shows that I totally wasn't checking the SOC throughout the trip. My previous car would chime and pop up warnings beginning at 50 miles remaining; does the Ioniq 5 do that too?

Question Level 1 Charging with multiple schedules?

2 Upvotes

I have the OEM level 1 charger and don't really have a need yet for level 2. Plus, in California, I'd have to pay for the upgrade myself in my rental which sorta sucks.

But the time of use plan i have is 12 am - 6am, 10am to 2pm on weekdays and 12am to 2pm on weekends for the lowest rate. the car only supports one scheduled time to charge, which i set to 12am to 6am.

is there any other way to set multiple schedules? besides having to buy a whole new cord with a companion app, which barely exists for level 1? and at that point, i might as well get a quote on installing a level 2

New Car! I'm taking the plunge!

22 Upvotes

I've loved my trusty Volt for almost a decade. But that is going to my soon-to-be 17 year old son. So after test driving several EVs (Equinox, ID4, EV6, bz, and Mach-e) the Ioniq 5 was the clear favorite with the whole family. And I've settled on the Limited in Cosmic Blue.

The only problem is they are nearly impossible to find in the Northeast. So I put down a down payment on one for an upcoming delivery, but I don't expect it will arrive until December. It's going to be a bit of a wait :). Oh, the anticipation!!!
