Thank you for these recommendations. I installed your suggested LED bulbs today and they look so much better. A couple of comments about the installations: the plastic tool that comes with the bulbs is all you need to pry out all three light fixtures. For the trunk light, I struggled with getting the lens off in the manner you showed until I turned the fixture around and used a small screwdriver to remove the lens from the opposite end. For the vanity lights, I didn't need to remove the lens at all. I gently pried the bulbs out using the plastic tool from the LED bulb package. Again, thank you for this and your other videos.
Just a suggestion, when changing wiper blades, always put a pillow or rolled up towel or something similar on the windscreen. I know from experience that if the wiper arm snaps back onto glass with the wiper removed, it will crack the windscreen.
Or you could just use the same effort of getting a pillow or towel and put it towards not letting the arm smack the glass. It's not like this is something exclusive to this car, it's common sense that if you let a spring loaded piece of metal hit glass it's probably gonna break
@@thelonewrangler1008 we're all human and we all make mistakes, even you, no matter how hard we focus or how careful we are. Maybe you bump the arm as you pull the old blade away, maybe it slips out of your hand, perhaps you have to reach for the passenger arm making it harder to control. There is always a chance no matter how perfect you think you are, grabbing a towel takes seconds and is good insurance.
I have changed my own wiper blades for years - never heard this. Then I read this suggestion on the l wiper blade package and thought, "That's so silly!" Wasn't so silly when the 2nd wiper arm slipped out of my hand as I removed the old blade and put a big crack across the passenger side. Got it repaired easily by Safelite, but had to take it in and wait around because it had something for crash avoidance attached to windshield which needed to be recalibrated in their shop when moved to the new windshield, (Couldn't be done by a mobile installer.) Now I share this tip whenever someone mentions replacing their blades.
Been thinking about getting the Ioniq 5 as our first EV. And don't get me wrong these are good advice. But I really don't think these things should be necessary and definitely should be like that from the factory. Other things that are a bit off-putting are the missing rear wiper, non wireless Apple CarPlay and no USB-C ports. But there should be quite a few upgrades to the 2023 model so I hope at least some of these issues will be solved. And I certainly still haven't written the Ioniq 5 off yet. Thanks for the vid :)
I finally got around to installing the led vanity bulbs and I found that it was unnecessary to remove the lens cover, that the bulb can be removed out the other side. I found this to be much easier.
I would suggest another thing to do: attach a felt board to the plastic next to the rear seats so that the seat belts don't bump into the plastic and make noise when you're driving. Cheers!
Just drove home in my new leased Ionic 5 Digital Teal. Thanks to your excellent informative videos, I got a great deal. The salesperson commented that I knew more about the car than he did. I also took your advice about accessories and had my order in before I picked up the car. So far I love the car, thanks for the great videos.
I am thrilled to see that navigation details and maps are stored on the vehicle itself! It won't be as up to date as vehicles that rely on the cloud, but it's going to work when traveling in areas with no cellular service. I was in Yellowstone National Park and Apple CarPlay was useless when there was no service away from a few places in the park. Our Tesla is also useless when we drive through the Sierra Nevada in California.
The arm rest compartment is a good spot for sunglasses. That’s where I have mine and napkins. Also should definitely wash and ceramic coat it. The paint chips real easy. Lastly, since there is no back windshield wiper, definitely hydro slick it. You know, rain X out something better. It’s terrible in the rain or sleet. Hope that helps.
You don't need to remove the plastic "glass" from the vanity lights. You slide the light out from the back. The vanity and trunk lights are 31mm. There's probably better links than the combo of mixed lights you put in the links. I bought the combo not knowing exactly what I would have had to replace but in that kit there's only 2 of the 31mm lights whereas you need 3 to cover the vanity and trunk, meaning I now have to order another kit (to keep the same type of lights). Hopefully others will read my message and won't make my same mistake. On the rest, I don't have any particular comment. Good job putting together an extensive list of accessories!
I have a Kia Niro and they used the same old 6 cent map, trunk and dome light bulbs. Swapped them all to LED in the first day, I had leftover ones from my other cars and they all seem to use the same sizes.
Great video. I have a 2023 Ioniq 5. I'm a bit confused about LED bulb sizes. Your link lists a site for 28mm bulbs, but in your various answers to questions, you suggest ordering 31mm bulbs. When I look at other manufacturers of LED bulbs selling on Amazon and I select 31mm, the Amazon garage says they won't fit my 2023 vehicle. So, is it 28/29mm or 31mm?
Just leased an Ioni1 5 one week ago today. Love the car, but the center console area is a disaster, looks cheap and you can store virtually nothing with out things sliding all around and being hard to retrieve. Best way to fix is to install seat gap storage trays, the car is useless without them.
Got my Ioniq 5 last week, just did the LED light replacement. Bought the same bulbs linked above. They must have updated the design on the bulbs, they now work no matter what direction you put them in.
I installed the rest of the LED lamps today. The visor bulbs were easy. For some reason I thought you also replaced the glove box lamp. So I tried. What I liked about the LED was that they have a heat sync on the back and the light only faces one direction. I removed the housing for the glovebox lamp. Unfortunatelly I accidently broke one of the wires for the switch. Dang! That wire was WAY TOO short. I will replace/extend it later when I think I can remove the glove box for access. But for now I like it. The LED is positioned to point toward the back of the deep storage area. Now it is useful. I'm not sure if I want to clean up the install. I kinda like the character it offers, showing the bare wires soldered onto the LED bulb. Good thing all the interior lights turn off after the car is off and locked. I will have to monitor how things go when the car is on cuz my glovebox LED light will just stay on until I fix that wire.
@@TheIoniqGuy Can you give a little more detail / tips on replacing the glove box light? What is meant by "the wire is way too short"? Does the whole light assembly have to be removed from the glove box (similar to the cargo area)?
Excellent video and information. I received my 2023 Ioniq 5 Limited and have completed: window tint, bulb replacements, checked pressure, software updates, and set profiles and charging level. Home charger installed. Looking at the dash camp and dongle set-up. Very well done--thanks!
First on my list of must have is Tow bar, studded winter tires, mud guards, LED Hi-beam ramp, protective rubber mats on the back of 2nd row seats and extender rubber mat in the trunk that can cover the bumper.
Thanks for great suggestions. Bosch fan here so I got the Bosch Icon 26A and 18A wipers. I also just finished putting in the LED bulbs for the cargo area (very easy) and the visors. (Glove box lighting not critical for me and that wire was so short according to another reply.) Found that the 2 visor bulbs can be swapped from the back of the housings without prying at the plastic cover which started gouging the casing. Thanks again.
Love the info. 1. Tint 2. Ceika coilovers or perhaps air ride. 3. Subwoofers. *to be fair, unsure how custom sound systems effect EV's* 4. Light swap (bulbs) 5. tires/wheels.
Thanks for all the great videos. Always helpful! One caution when changing out the rear cargo light bulb, make sure to keep the connector well outside the panel. Maybe tape it in place with some masking tape. Mine dropped back into the panel and it took a skewer stick with a piece of super sticky Flex Tape on the end to retrieve it.
I think you want the 30 mm LED bulbs for the vanity lights, 28s are a bit loose. The 30 mm will also probably work for the rear trunk light, as that is a different socket.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Virtual Manual specifically states that you should charge your battery to 100%. They also recommend to wait until it is below 20% before charging.
This has been so helpful to me! Thanks ioniq guy! New subscriber here. I was able to change all the lights by myself, I wouldn’t be able to do it without this video.
Hi Corbin: Did you know you can change languages with profile settings? My wife prefers Dutch, I prefer English. My dealer wasn’t sure it was possible, but it is. The language changes the entire interface on both dashboard screens. Best, and thanks for your wonderful video’s. Frits (Netherlands)
Great video. As an Android/Pixel phone user, I think getting wireless Android Auto is a must. Been super happy with my Motorola MA1, though they are super difficult to find right now. Not sure what iPhone folks are doing for wireless. Would love to get all weather mats but they are also seemingly impossible to find. Not sure why, but the "auto power liftgate on approach" setting was off on my Ioniq. Definitely worth turning on even if it's just a parlor trick.
For all-weather mats, I recommend getting cut-to-fit mats at AutoZone/O'Reilly's and cutting them to size with a pair of scissors. You'll save plenty of money that way and they're really easy to keep clean.
Another great video.. You are the Ioniq guy for sure... Went to the link for the bulbs, there are a few different sizes.. The correct size is the first one listed 10mm? I'm ready to order. Thanks again👍
My first project will be rear view mirror camera. I love great back visibility without blind spots. Especially without rear wiper. Next will be tow and rails. My AWD is already at the dealer parking lot. I love look of 19inch rims. I have 20inch and they do not look cool enough.
I read that Hyundai plan on including digital centre mirror on 2023 versions of the Ioniq 5 as an optional extra, so you may be able to get them added on from the manufacturer.
Great job. Appreciate your videos very much. Re: home L2 chargers. Is it better to set charge scheduling using charger software or the Ioniq 5 software? Thank you.
Nice idea for the sunglasses, but the nose on the thing makes it look too dorky for the elegance of the car. Can you come up with a different design? When you switch glasses, you have to have a place to put the regulars before you grab the sunglasses and vice versa when switching back. Maybe a tiered design to hold two rather than taking up so much space with two. Just a couple of ideas. What do you think?
Great video. Incandescent lights and poor quality wipers..... Hopefully Hyundai is watching, too, in order to make a better product. These seem to be easy, exceptionally minimum cost, no-brainers. Makes you wonder what other shortcuts they made in designing the vehicle.
Just got my ultimatum/lounge MY23. Your comments about the wiper blades did get noticed, I have excellent blades, the left one much bigger than the right one.
Excellent video. Very informative. You imparted way more information than the dealer did today when I picked up my new Ioniq5. First thing tomorrow I will be implementing most of those updates and changes.
@@TheIoniqGuy Because of the crazy market and long wait times, I told the dealer I would take ANY SE or SEL that came in, regardless of color, although I told them I strongly preferred any color other than black. (I like cars that are visible in nighttime driving conditions.) So of course they called and said hey we have a gray one, is that good? I go to the dealership to do the paperwork, and they have only a black SE. So now I own a black Ioniq 5 SE. Oh well. I will learn to love it, or get it painted. :)
I'm sorry you didn't get exactly what you wanted. What area are you located in? There's at least 2 or 3 dozen SEs in all colors around here in CT. You could always get it wrapped. That'd be a lot cheaper than painting
@@TheIoniqGuy Thanks for your personal interest in my situation. I'm in San Diego, CA. My dad lives in Putnam CT, and I plan on visiting him on or about his 88th birthday, which will be in September. I've contemplated driving cross country- that would be an adventure in an EV, as I'm sure the infrastructure for charging isn't built out like the fossil fuel stations are.
I don't think you'd have any issues with infrastructure, it's pretty well filled in across the middle of the country. Would definitely be a new experience though, good or bad.
@@TheIoniqGuy when a new van arrives at my dealership pressures are usually 70 psi or there about. So it's on the pre delivery inspection list to adjust pressures among other things.
@@TheIoniqGuy Canada. British Columbia. Just watched your video on having the Ioniq 5 power your house as that’s a bit of an issue here. Definitely going to get those mods made to my panel when the car comes in. Just wanted to say your videos are terrific and I hope you keep it up. There’s lots of room on UA-cam for niche channels. There’s a guy who specializes in American cars of the 50’s & 60’s (Rare Classic Cars & Automotive History) and I’ve watched him go from 10K subs to 70K in just a few months. So please keep it coming. Cheers.
Just thought: rear view mirrors that are digital can pose issues if your eyes are slow to focus (most of us over 40 yo) as they are an arm's length focal distance. Everything on the road is much father away for focus. A real mirror keeps the focal length of the original object as that is where reflected the light is coming from. Slower eyes will have trouble with a blur with a digital mirror without glasses made for close viewing - which don't work for the road. Bifocals would work - but you would have to tip your head _way_ back.
Just a suggestion, when changing wiper blades, always put a pillow or rolled up towel or something similar on the windscreen. I know from experience that if the wiper arm snaps back onto glass with the wiper removed, it will crack the windscreen.
Did you get any PPF (paint protection film) or ceramic coating for your new IQ5? I'm in arizona and due to high winds, instead of mulch they use rocks. So as you can understand your car front bumper is target practice for rocks, as well as the windshield. And one thing I hate is rock chips. Especially on a $60K car.
Oh man I can only imagine. I didn't get any PPF or ceramic coating. I used to be super obsessive about paint chips and would get all bent out of shape over them but I grew tired after many years and just accepted that it's bound to happen and pretty much every car has or will get them somewhere. My Mazda CX-5 had some of the thinnest paint I've ever experienced. Whenever I wash the car I just give it a look over and use a touch up paint paint to fill any rock chips. I personally believe that I wouldn't get my money back for the cost of PPF if it were for sale side by side with a car that did have it after say 30k miles. To each their own though.
@@TheIoniqGuy ‘paint protection’ is a common add-on that many (close to ‘most’) dealers are requiring, on Limited at least, and probably especially on Limited RWD when they start arriving, as a way to make more money. I’ve been meaning to google if they offer any actual protection. (I’m sure different dealers offer different flavors).
Excellent video. Ditto on the dash cam, front window tint. I'm also adding a back of 2nd row seat organizer, a trash can,, neck cushion, and getting a ceramic coating for my matte paint. Looking for a solution to keep the 2nd row seat belt buckles from making noise hitting the pillars.
Do your seatbelts have the large piece of fabric on one side of them? Mine so and as long as they're not twisted I get very little rattling. I've heard people are using Velcro to stick them to the side of the car when not in use.
@@TheIoniqGuy yes! Just noticed that today and if flipped into the correct position,.it does minimize rattle. Unfortunately, passengers aka my kids don't care enough to comply
If you don't want it as dark, you can get it in various levels of opaqueness and it doesn't prevent you from seeing out. Certain types block harmful UV radiation that leads to skin cancer
Great suggestions, thanks! A question: our Ford Focus Electric responded to the remote unlock with all the exterior lights turning on. A very nice welcome and made her easy to find in the parking lot. Is there a similar capability in the Ionic 5?
We leased two Focus Electrics and loved them. Our residual was crazy high and our monthly payments were crazy low. Once Ford announced the discontinuance of this car, they disappeared off of dealer lots immediately. The final model had much more range and DC fast charging.
I really enjoy all these great videos. I'm definitely need to add a dashcam and tint the windows. I'm always a bit nervous changing stuff on my own, like switching the lights to led, replacing the badge and wipers blades etc, but I guess I can give it a try. This lady needs to figure it all out!
I really hate that my car is forcing driver profiles on me. I’m the only driver and i want to remove “driver 2 and guest”… it didn’t work when i did it: any tips please?
Just a small addition to the lithium battery charge levels, 60 to 80 is correct. But one little detail, if you rarely use the car or you know that it'll be unused for a while, 60% is better than 80. Phone manufacturers also ship phones at that charge because it gives the best shelf life. Unused batteries slowly discharge themselves, and 60% will cause less wear on the battery while it does so.
Man this is a pretty random list, but most of it is great! As an Ioniq 5 owner myself, i would put learning how to engage and drive in I Pedal mode on there. The whole regeneretive braking thing is one to quickly make your own, as it can save you some km/miles. Btw: my wife wanted a Teal Green, but we endes up with a Cyber Grey. Both very nice! It's an amazing car and with 3 small kids, i'm surprised by how much space there is inside. We had a much bigger Peugeot 5008 before, but the Ioniq 5 has more legroom at the back
2 роки тому+3
On AWD models people tend to avoid iPedal as it will engage front motor more to brake better, thus using more energy
@ how does it use more energy if you are braking? I'm confused by your comment
2 роки тому+1
@@bretthadley2043 you're driving more than you're braking, two motors consumes more energy than one. The front motor is mostly disengaged in the other driving modes.
The reason there aren't LEDs in the vanity lights, is because if you do your makeup, in a mirror with LED lighting, the color will be way off when you go outside or into your office at work. Never put LEDs in vanity lights.
Nice video - agree with some of these except for bulb or wiper replacement which were fine for us. For wireless apple carplay or android auto, you can also find a wireless android box designed for cars which only have wired carplay/android auto. This will also allow you to play videos on the screen (via apps for YT, Netflix, Disney, etc) which is handy when sitting in your Ioniq 5 during charging

Hi, any recommendations for an android auto wireless box? I never really cared about wireless since I'm always plugging in my phone anyways, but Netflix (and I assume other streaming apps) do sound interesting 🤔
Love your content! Thank you. I have the SE trim in the US. I’ve done LED swaps, OBDII, and USB’s for ambient lighting. Also I bought a dongle for wireless car play then I use a hi power charger to charge my phone as needed. The ionic 5 only does slow charging for my iPhone. I don’t have the home link mirror so no power for camera. I’m wondering if there is a way to swap the backup lights?
@@TheIoniqGuy Thanks for the quick reply, I agree ! I tried a few times but just couldn't get it out and was afraid I would snap something so I let it be...Just got my Ioniq 5 a few weeks ago and am so relieved made it under the wire for the tax credit ! Without that this car would be out of our reach ... Thanks once again...
Any tips on removing the previous owner's (expired) bluelink account from the car? When i go into bluelink settings, there are 3 menu items: "reconfigure", which does nothing; and 2 menu items with various modern information. There is no option to remove the current bluelink account.
Regarding the LED change out: Does anyone know why Hyundai did not provide LED's in these 4 locations, when they did provide LED's in other locations? Got to think it was intentional, and not for cost savings. Having said that, I ordered the LED's, and will probably replace them shortly.
Currently we have an old Leaf and a Tesla 3. Going to trade in the Leaf and get the Ioniq 5. We use a 220 outlet in the garage straight to the cars (We can only charge one at a time.) But we don't have a level 2 charger like this. What is the benefit? Thanks. I enjoy your channel!!
@@TheIoniqGuy Just the supplied Tesla cord from the 220 outlet to the car. We got a giant 220 splitter. One side goes to the Tesla and the other to the Blink wall unit and to my Leaf. It works. We time our charges so they're staggered overnight when rate is lowest.
GREAT STUFF. NO OWNER YET, BUT SHOPPING FOR THE LIMIRTED VS THE SEL. IS THE LIMITED WORTH THE DIFFERENCED IN PRICE ?. SURPRISED THE CHEAPER SEL HAS REAR PARKING & THE LIMITED DOES NOT........ ALSO DO I NEED ALL WHEEL DRIVE IF NOT TOO MUCH SNOW IN MY AREA & NO OFF ROAD DRIVING....
Appreciate the videos! Could you do a short video explaining the radar system in the front bumper area? It sure gets blocked frequently with slush & snow here in Canada. I'm not sure exactly where it's located. The guy at the local dealer wasn't sure either.
Your videos are great. I wish I had seen the planner for long trips first 😂 😂. Before I went out of town. But I got it now. Question? Went to car seen a glowing orange light located on top of the speaker in middle of the windshield what's that light for? Keep up the good work!! @THEIONIQGUY
11:41 the windshield wiper process is stupid and probably has to be solved by software because some designer or engineer made a mistake. Help me understand why Hyundai couldn’t keep it simple. My 2024 IONIQ 5 is arriving in a couple weeks 😃
Very helpful, thanks. I have an AWD SEL, and I find the beeping from the proximity sensors very annoying. They go crazy when I pull into or out of my garage, and they even go off in normal traffic, e.g., when I am in a double-turn lane. Do you know of any way to turn these warnings off?
I noticed the colored USB lights. Do you (Or anyone) have any real world experience with this? There's a fine line between neat and gaudy lol. Great video
Curious... i think only the Limited has the multiple driver seat config buttons (1 & 2) and we're planning to get the SEL... can you customize the seat position with the user profile? That would be a great way to get around not having those buttons cuz we find it super convenient in our current car since we switch off a lot.. thx!
No, Limited only. Was almost enough to sway me from the SEL but extra $$ and "Limited" availability means I'll stick with my SEL. Mrs.' Fusion has it and it's a great feature.

Thanks for great suggestions. Bosch fan here so I got the Bosch Icon 26A and 18A wipers. I also just finished putting in the LED bulbs for the cargo area (very easy) and the visors. (Glove box lighting not critical for me and that wire was so short according to another reply.) Found that the 2 visor bulbs can be swapped from the back of the housings without prying at the plastic cover which started gouging the casing. Thanks again.
Love the info.
1. Tint
2. Ceika coilovers or perhaps air ride.
3. Subwoofers. *to be fair, unsure how custom sound systems effect EV's*
4. Light swap (bulbs)
5. tires/wheels.
Thanks for all the great videos. Always helpful! One caution when changing out the rear cargo light bulb, make sure to keep the connector well outside the panel. Maybe tape it in place with some masking tape. Mine dropped back into the panel and it took a skewer stick with a piece of super sticky Flex Tape on the end to retrieve it.
Gawd darn it .. I wish I'd read your tip about keeping hold of the cable!! Mine's disappeared into the abyss and nowhere to be found! 😢😢😢
Or use a peg to clamp onto the wire and hold it in place
I think you want the 30 mm LED bulbs for the vanity lights, 28s are a bit loose. The 30 mm will also probably work for the rear trunk light, as that is a different socket.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Virtual Manual specifically states that you should charge your battery to 100%. They also recommend to wait until it is below 20% before charging.
This has been so helpful to me! Thanks ioniq guy! New subscriber here. I was able to change all the lights by myself, I wouldn’t be able to do it without this video.
I just put a deposit down for a 2022/2023 Ioniq 5 and found your video. Great content, thanks for sharing!
What state did you order it & can you pls tell the waiting time?
Hi Corbin: Did you know you can change languages with profile settings? My wife prefers Dutch, I prefer English. My dealer wasn’t sure it was possible, but it is. The language changes the entire interface on both dashboard screens. Best, and thanks for your wonderful video’s. Frits (Netherlands)
Great video. As an Android/Pixel phone user, I think getting wireless Android Auto is a must. Been super happy with my Motorola MA1, though they are super difficult to find right now. Not sure what iPhone folks are doing for wireless.
Would love to get all weather mats but they are also seemingly impossible to find.
Not sure why, but the "auto power liftgate on approach" setting was off on my Ioniq. Definitely worth turning on even if it's just a parlor trick.
I'm an iPhone user so As for the wireless I have no solution yet. Just plugging in for now
iPhone is plug in only for right now. Although you can use Bluetooth but not car play wirelessly
All weather Mats available from Hyundai UK and many other third party outlets.
For all-weather mats, I recommend getting cut-to-fit mats at AutoZone/O'Reilly's and cutting them to size with a pair of scissors. You'll save plenty of money that way and they're really easy to keep clean.
There’s plenty of wireless CarPlay options on amazon. All have a few glitches, but work pretty well.
Another great video.. You are the Ioniq guy for sure... Went to the link for the bulbs, there are a few different sizes.. The correct size is the first one listed 10mm? I'm ready to order. Thanks again👍
Thanks Steve, I appreciate it! You want the 31mm bulbs at that link.
Thanks for your video from Germany. But please add a mustache to your glassholders :D
For the vanity light and mirror, you may want to keep it incandescent for makeup application. White LEDs can wash out skin tone.
Another helpful video. Appreciate. I don’t know how to replace anything in cars and I am learning through your channel 🙏🏼
Dang. For the amount we have to shell out, a lot of these upgrades should be included.
My first project will be rear view mirror camera. I love great back visibility without blind spots. Especially without rear wiper. Next will be tow and rails. My AWD is already at the dealer parking lot.
I love look of 19inch rims. I have 20inch and they do not look cool enough.
I read that Hyundai plan on including digital centre mirror on 2023 versions of the Ioniq 5 as an optional extra, so you may be able to get them added on from the manufacturer.
Rails ??? The lack of roof rails is one of the biggest bummers about the i5 to me. Please tell me more !
Great job. Appreciate your videos very much. Re: home L2 chargers. Is it better to set charge scheduling using charger software or the Ioniq 5 software?
Thank you.
Nice idea for the sunglasses, but the nose on the thing makes it look too dorky for the elegance of the car. Can you come up with a different design?
When you switch glasses, you have to have a place to put the regulars before you grab the sunglasses and vice versa when switching back. Maybe a tiered design to hold two rather than taking up so much space with two. Just a couple of ideas. What do you think?
There is no back windscreen wiper, I have no idea why not ! but get yourself a small window wiper its very handy
Great video. Incandescent lights and poor quality wipers..... Hopefully Hyundai is watching, too, in order to make a better product. These seem to be easy, exceptionally minimum cost, no-brainers. Makes you wonder what other shortcuts they made in designing the vehicle.
Just got my ultimatum/lounge MY23. Your comments about the wiper blades did get noticed, I have excellent blades, the left one much bigger than the right one.
Excellent video. Very informative. You imparted way more information than the dealer did today when I picked up my new Ioniq5. First thing tomorrow I will be implementing most of those updates and changes.
Enjoy your amazing new machine! What did you get?
@@TheIoniqGuy Because of the crazy market and long wait times, I told the dealer I would take ANY SE or SEL that came in, regardless of color, although I told them I strongly preferred any color other than black. (I like cars that are visible in nighttime driving conditions.)
So of course they called and said hey we have a gray one, is that good? I go to the dealership to do the paperwork, and they have only a black SE. So now I own a black Ioniq 5 SE. Oh well. I will learn to love it, or get it painted. :)
I'm sorry you didn't get exactly what you wanted. What area are you located in? There's at least 2 or 3 dozen SEs in all colors around here in CT. You could always get it wrapped. That'd be a lot cheaper than painting
@@TheIoniqGuy Thanks for your personal interest in my situation. I'm in San Diego, CA. My dad lives in Putnam CT, and I plan on visiting him on or about his 88th birthday, which will be in September. I've contemplated driving cross country- that would be an adventure in an EV, as I'm sure the infrastructure for charging isn't built out like the fossil fuel stations are.
I don't think you'd have any issues with infrastructure, it's pretty well filled in across the middle of the country. Would definitely be a new experience though, good or bad.
You are 100% right about dealers over pressurizing the tires. Why do they all do that?
To protect tires during transit, avoids flat spots, somewhat atleast.
They're supposed to adjust to correct pressures before delivery though
Interesting!
@@TheIoniqGuy when a new van arrives at my dealership pressures are usually 70 psi or there about.
So it's on the pre delivery inspection list to adjust pressures among other things.
One note about tire pressures: looking at my (manufacture date JAN/2022) SEL, my data plate says 38 PSI, not 36. Same exact tires as you have, though.
FYI in some states tinting front windows will get a Ticket...why Cop Safety
I bought Rain X to clean the back windows, because the rain can easily slide from the window, cause it doesn't have a wiper...
Thanks bro very helpful, in normally don’t even comment on this stuff but yours is useful.
Had mine yesterday 2023 model. Great tips! UK based
What are the led bulbs you recommend please?
As always, it's all about the Bosch Icons, or Rain-X wipers.
Good suggestions. My 2023 is scheduled for January 2023 delivery. I’m HOPING it’s got the digital rear view mirror. 😮
What country are you in?
@@TheIoniqGuy Canada. British Columbia.
Just watched your video on having the Ioniq 5 power your house as that’s a bit of an issue here. Definitely going to get those mods made to my panel when the car comes in.
Just wanted to say your videos are terrific and I hope you keep it up. There’s lots of room on UA-cam for niche channels. There’s a guy who specializes in American cars of the 50’s & 60’s (Rare Classic Cars & Automotive History) and I’ve watched him go from 10K subs to 70K in just a few months. So please keep it coming. Cheers.
Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately for you, I don’t believe any cars in North America are getting the digital rear view mirror for 2023. Cheers
Just thought: rear view mirrors that are digital can pose issues if your eyes are slow to focus (most of us over 40 yo) as they are an arm's length focal distance. Everything on the road is much father away for focus. A real mirror keeps the focal length of the original object as that is where reflected the light is coming from. Slower eyes will have trouble with a blur with a digital mirror without glasses made for close viewing - which don't work for the road. Bifocals would work - but you would have to tip your head _way_ back.
Wiper trick is super-handy!
Just a suggestion, when changing wiper blades, always put a pillow or rolled up towel or something similar on the windscreen. I know from experience that if the wiper arm snaps back onto glass with the wiper removed, it will crack the windscreen.
That is a good tip!
Did you get any PPF (paint protection film) or ceramic coating for your new IQ5? I'm in arizona and due to high winds, instead of mulch they use rocks. So as you can understand your car front bumper is target practice for rocks, as well as the windshield. And one thing I hate is rock chips. Especially on a $60K car.
Oh man I can only imagine. I didn't get any PPF or ceramic coating.
I used to be super obsessive about paint chips and would get all bent out of shape over them but I grew tired after many years and just accepted that it's bound to happen and pretty much every car has or will get them somewhere. My Mazda CX-5 had some of the thinnest paint I've ever experienced. Whenever I wash the car I just give it a look over and use a touch up paint paint to fill any rock chips. I personally believe that I wouldn't get my money back for the cost of PPF if it were for sale side by side with a car that did have it after say 30k miles. To each their own though.
@@TheIoniqGuy ‘paint protection’ is a common add-on that many (close to ‘most’) dealers are requiring, on Limited at least, and probably especially on Limited RWD when they start arriving, as a way to make more money.
I’ve been meaning to google if they offer any actual protection. (I’m sure different dealers offer different flavors).
Finally I got my Ioniq5! It’s just a rocket 🚀
What'd you get!?
@@TheIoniqGuy I’d get the AWD long range with sun roof arctic white! It’s so exciting!
Excellent video. Ditto on the dash cam, front window tint. I'm also adding a back of 2nd row seat organizer, a trash can,, neck cushion, and getting a ceramic coating for my matte paint. Looking for a solution to keep the 2nd row seat belt buckles from making noise hitting the pillars.
Do your seatbelts have the large piece of fabric on one side of them? Mine so and as long as they're not twisted I get very little rattling. I've heard people are using Velcro to stick them to the side of the car when not in use.
Like all the ideas except for the window tinting. Safer for everyone to keep them clear; visibility out and into the car matters.
@@TheIoniqGuy yes! Just noticed that today and if flipped into the correct position,.it does minimize rattle. Unfortunately, passengers aka my kids don't care enough to comply
If you don't want it as dark, you can get it in various levels of opaqueness and it doesn't prevent you from seeing out. Certain types block harmful UV radiation that leads to skin cancer
@@TheIoniqGuy I strongly recommend tint that is 35% opaque. I’m in Las Vegas and in the desert cops do not really care how dark it is
Thank you for this video! I don't own a ioniq 5, but this was enjoyable to watch! 🙃
아이오닉을 정말 사랑하시는군요
You really love Ioniq
Great suggestions, thanks! A question: our Ford Focus Electric responded to the remote unlock with all the exterior lights turning on. A very nice welcome and made her easy to find in the parking lot. Is there a similar capability in the Ionic 5?
We leased two Focus Electrics and loved them. Our residual was crazy high and our monthly payments were crazy low. Once Ford announced the discontinuance of this car, they disappeared off of dealer lots immediately. The final model had much more range and DC fast charging.
You can turn on lighting from your bluelink app
Nice color that is what I would pick.
Can you please provide link for level 2 charger to install at home . Also those are not for eye glass holder but I guess for your mobile
I really enjoy all these great videos. I'm definitely need to add a dashcam and tint the windows. I'm always a bit nervous changing stuff on my own, like switching the lights to led, replacing the badge and wipers blades etc, but I guess I can give it a try. This lady needs to figure it all out!
I really hate that my car is forcing driver profiles on me. I’m the only driver and i want to remove “driver 2 and guest”… it didn’t work when i did it: any tips please?
Just a small addition to the lithium battery charge levels, 60 to 80 is correct.
But one little detail, if you rarely use the car or you know that it'll be unused for a while, 60% is better than 80.
Phone manufacturers also ship phones at that charge because it gives the best shelf life.
Unused batteries slowly discharge themselves, and 60% will cause less wear on the battery while it does so.
Lol nice plug for your sunglasses holder good idea
Front side window tint is illegal in most states.
This is one of the most usefull videos I've seen! Thanks!
Man this is a pretty random list, but most of it is great! As an Ioniq 5 owner myself, i would put learning how to engage and drive in I Pedal mode on there. The whole regeneretive braking thing is one to quickly make your own, as it can save you some km/miles. Btw: my wife wanted a Teal Green, but we endes up with a Cyber Grey. Both very nice! It's an amazing car and with 3 small kids, i'm surprised by how much space there is inside. We had a much bigger Peugeot 5008 before, but the Ioniq 5 has more legroom at the back
On AWD models people tend to avoid iPedal as it will engage front motor more to brake better, thus using more energy
@ Never knew that! Thanks for clearing that up
@ how does it use more energy if you are braking? I'm confused by your comment
@@bretthadley2043 you're driving more than you're braking, two motors consumes more energy than one. The front motor is mostly disengaged in the other driving modes.
Any suggestion for a warmer (2700k-3000k) LED bulbs link?
The LED bulbs come in at least 7 colors, although the Xenon White are probably the ones you will want.
The reason there aren't LEDs in the vanity lights, is because if you do your makeup, in a mirror with LED lighting, the color will be way off when you go outside or into your office at work.
Never put LEDs in vanity lights.
My Ionic 5 does not have HomeLink, can the After market battery powered Voxx Homelink mirror be installed and does it need an adapter?
rainX on camera lens and windshield. protecting the paint with a wrap.
Very informative video.
Im looking for a cell phone holder that doesn't attach to the vents nor stick on anywhere. Do you recommend any?
Nice video - agree with some of these except for bulb or wiper replacement which were fine for us.
For wireless apple carplay or android auto, you can also find a wireless android box designed for cars which only have wired carplay/android auto. This will also allow you to play videos on the screen (via apps for YT, Netflix, Disney, etc) which is handy when sitting in your Ioniq 5 during charging
Hi, any recommendations for an android auto wireless box? I never really cared about wireless since I'm always plugging in my phone anyways, but Netflix (and I assume other streaming apps) do sound interesting 🤔
+1 would love to know how to get videos to play on the screen
Iconiq 5 does not have HDMI input, how do you get Android to work?
unfortunately all Hyundai Wipers are cheap and fairly nasty....
So how does keeping the charge between 50 and 80 percent affect your range? Is it still 303 miles?
Thanks, I like the color of your car. Is that the Teal?
Sure is!
Appreciate your channel. Its been awesome.
This is great. My car is coming at the end of summer. Is there a way to import music and music playlists in that car?
You can with apple or android car play
Or plug in a usb key
Love your content! Thank you. I have the SE trim in the US. I’ve done LED swaps, OBDII, and USB’s for ambient lighting. Also I bought a dongle for wireless car play then I use a hi power charger to charge my phone as needed. The ionic 5 only does slow charging for my iPhone. I don’t have the home link mirror so no power for camera. I’m wondering if there is a way to swap the backup lights?
First thing I would do is get rid of those wheels! J/K, thanks for the nice video!
While changing the rear LED lights in the trunk, my wire fell into the hole and I can’t find it. Any suggestions on how I can bring the wire back up?
Excellent video ! Thank you - What is the easiest way to change the glove compartment light to LED ? Did not see that in the video ...
No easy way. Too difficult to disconnect the module without breaking wires. Trust me, it's not worth it
@@TheIoniqGuy Thanks for the quick reply, I agree ! I tried a few times but just couldn't get it out and was afraid I would snap something so I let it be...Just got my Ioniq 5 a few weeks ago and am so relieved made it under the wire for the tax credit ! Without that this car would be out of our reach ... Thanks once again...
Any tips on removing the previous owner's (expired) bluelink account from the car? When i go into bluelink settings, there are 3 menu items: "reconfigure", which does nothing; and 2 menu items with various modern information. There is no option to remove the current bluelink account.
I just bought an ioniq last weekend based off of your reviews. Excellent vehicle
Good advices - thanks! Terrible magnetic eyeglasses holder - doesn’t fit the overall dashboard design at all. Create something more cool.
Regarding the LED change out: Does anyone know why Hyundai did not provide LED's in these 4 locations, when they did provide LED's in other locations? Got to think it was intentional, and not for cost savings.
Having said that, I ordered the LED's, and will probably replace them shortly.
Currently we have an old Leaf and a Tesla 3. Going to trade in the Leaf and get the Ioniq 5. We use a 220 outlet in the garage straight to the cars (We can only charge one at a time.) But we don't have a level 2 charger like this. What is the benefit? Thanks. I enjoy your channel!!
Thanks Guy! What are you using to charge your Tesla?
@@TheIoniqGuy Just the supplied Tesla cord from the 220 outlet to the car. We got a giant 220 splitter. One side goes to the Tesla and the other to the Blink wall unit and to my Leaf. It works. We time our charges so they're staggered overnight when rate is lowest.
@@TheIoniqGuy And I just got the call from a dealer last night that a black/black AWD limited is available. I jumped on it! Listed the Leaf today!!
@@guyhenry3047 lucky you! 3 year wait here
Thank you for the video. Are the bulbs 28mm in length?
Correct, 28mm
GREAT STUFF. NO OWNER YET, BUT SHOPPING FOR THE LIMIRTED VS THE SEL. IS THE LIMITED WORTH THE DIFFERENCED IN PRICE ?. SURPRISED THE CHEAPER SEL HAS REAR PARKING & THE LIMITED DOES NOT........ ALSO DO I NEED ALL WHEEL DRIVE IF NOT TOO MUCH SNOW IN MY AREA & NO OFF ROAD DRIVING....
I personally regret not going for the limited. Sounds like RWD would be good for you but RWD limited are very rare and extremely difficult to get
The reason the back window a little bit darker is probably because you have the window shades up 😊
Thank you so much for detailed tips.
There's no rear wiper, so if it's raining heavy while driving on the highway you can't see out the back window....dangerous if you ask me.....
Really informative video, and great suggestions! Thank you for sharing! ⚡🔌🚘
Appreciate the videos! Could you do a short video explaining the radar system in the front bumper area? It sure gets blocked frequently with slush & snow here in Canada. I'm not sure exactly where it's located. The guy at the local dealer wasn't sure either.
I can look into it for you
@@TheIoniqGuy That would be sooo helpful as we're getting another blizzard in 2 days. lol!
So can U tow the ioniq 5, with flat or low battery, bit like regen on roll down hill. But actually being towed.
Your videos are great. I wish I had seen the planner for long trips first 😂 😂. Before I went out of town. But I got it now. Question? Went to car seen a glowing orange light located on top of the speaker in middle of the windshield what's that light for? Keep up the good work!! @THEIONIQGUY
That shows when the high voltage battery is charging the 12V low voltage battery
11:41 the windshield wiper process is stupid and probably has to be solved by software because some designer or engineer made a mistake. Help me understand why Hyundai couldn’t keep it simple. My 2024 IONIQ 5 is arriving in a couple weeks 😃
you mentioned about hooking a dashboard cam with usb to mirror or somthing?
Very helpful, thanks. I have an AWD SEL, and I find the beeping from the proximity sensors very annoying. They go crazy when I pull into or out of my garage, and they even go off in normal traffic, e.g., when I am in a double-turn lane. Do you know of any way to turn these warnings off?
Possibly with OBDII device. There are quite a few custom settings on those.
I noticed the colored USB lights. Do you (Or anyone) have any real world experience with this? There's a fine line between neat and gaudy lol. Great video
Thanks Bill! They're awesome. Plenty of color options and just plain white if you're feeling extra classy.
I ordered your sunglass holder- it works well!
Thank you! Glad you like it
Curious... i think only the Limited has the multiple driver seat config buttons (1 & 2) and we're planning to get the SEL... can you customize the seat position with the user profile? That would be a great way to get around not having those buttons cuz we find it super convenient in our current car since we switch off a lot.. thx!
I wish wish wish this were possible. I have the SEL and memory seat positions is the only painful feature exclusion for me.
No, Limited only. Was almost enough to sway me from the SEL but extra $$ and "Limited" availability means I'll stick with my SEL. Mrs.' Fusion has it and it's a great feature.
@@ericanderson1753 .. so sad. Hmmm, tough call for us. Thx for the info tho..
can you please give a link to the LED lamps you have changed in trunk and under san shelter?
