2025 Ioniq 5 Guide: Software Walkthrough | Every Setting in the Car Shown

[@leftyduffer]

Aa a new 2025 owner, thank you! I'm still learning my way around and this helps me to spot things I missed.

[@ascaniopiomelli8175]

Love these videos. And love my 2025 Ioniq 5 Limited RWD that I bought yesterday! It feels so liberating to no longer drive a Tesla (bought in 2019) and be associated with Musk. If other Tesla owners are lurking, I encourage you leave the dark side and drive an Ioniq.

[@BertL1]

A super video that was most helpful to this new owner of a 2-week old 2025 IONIQ 5 RWD Limited. I've watched dozens upon dozens of your and other KZbin videos, including more than 100 short ones from Hyundai how to do this-and-that, as part of my buyer research over the past several weeks -- and like a crazy man, just finished yesterday reading all of the IONIQ 5 manuals, making notes to myself of settings to try or adjust. I learned new practical hints from this video of yours that caused me to go out to my garage and switch a few settings before my next ride. Your style of course, but practical and "what this means in English" comments, help differentiate your channel from others. Thanks for that and all you do. I look forward to your next video whatever it may be. Here's another vote for one on native Navigation. I always have, and still prefer Apple Maps, but with Hyundai not providing the integration to SoC, weather, and charging station availability like Porsche and a few others have started to do, I look forward to your practical 2025 Hyundai Nav video when you get to it. Otherwise, my early impression is Hyundai did a great job with CarPlay integration compared to so many other brands who avoid it or do the minimum possible -- love the map and routing data on my HUD when I use Apple Maps! I've tried ABRP, but am not sold having to keep an OBD2 scanner running all the time -- even with it on a physical switch I can turn off when I'm not in the vehicle (assuming I remember to switch it off and on.) The lack-of OBD2 bluetooth security worries me, so I think the OBD2 has already become a toy, and ABRP will be relegated to more of a planning and estimating tool like my old days with my first EV --a Model S (2015-19)-- than a practical tool used on roadtrips. I'll see also what you have to say, including hopefully how Tesla Superchargers and other charging options fit into use cases when one is out and about needing a charge along the way. I don't have traditional range anxiety, but I'm a planner that "must" have a rough idea of what's ahead, where charging may be, and some alternatives before I jump in my EV for a long roadtrip. So far I find the overly simplistic maps Hyundai is using lacking compared to Apple and Google or even ABRP, and the Bluelink app integration back to the Nav in the IONIQ just isn't as good as what I've known and prefer. I'm likely stuck with Native Hyundai Nav being used for true roadtrips, and keep Apple Maps for daily use as it ties to everything else I do in my life (contacts, calendar, messaging, etc.) Anything you can offer in a new video or more to make integrated Nav better in a practical sense, I'm ready for it. Thanks in advance!

[@davidkreim6544]

Incredible improvements! Thanks for sharing Corbin

[@s.h.887]

perfect. picked up my ioniq5 a week ago and will watch the video sitting in the car 🙂

[@JohnnyOstentatious]

Glad I watched this. Just bought an IONIQ 6. I don't really take long trips, so I've only been charging to 80% and was only going to charge to 100% three or four times a year, but now I'll charge to 100% once a month.

[@Molishious]

An idea for a future menu would be the best way to lock your car while the climate system is on to replicate “Dog Mode”. I know it will not be the same, but the closest approximation would be useful.

[@beamer908]

A number of different approaches on pre-2025 models but this is the one I've used kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHzcaGdoqsykZtk. Not sure if it still works on 2025

[@bsantelli1961]

Awesome video. Looking forward to the future ones on specific areas.

[@easydoesit2905]

Great timing! I pick up the car next week. 👍

[@JamesJDempsey]

This was awesome, thanks Corbin! I'm looking forward to the Android Auto deep dive too!

[@CJDanceone]

I was watching this sat in my 2025 Ioniq 5 'Ultimate' here in the UK and half these menus were completely different to mine. You sometimes had setting i didn't (like the speed warning offset controls), and sometimes were missing extra settings I had (like automatic heated seats and steering wheel based on climate settings). Other times our settings were similar or in different places and called different things... so confusing! It would be great to get a video on the software differences between countries and what is not available in certain regions if you you can find out from Hyundai? I've also noticed some of my settings like turning off the speed limit warning would reset back to 'on' every time i restart the car.. So frustrating! Thanks for the video, super interesting yet puzzling to see so many differences.

[@sebkeccu4546]

Thank you for this other great video, love these long detailed videos. Arrouynd 4:49 the steeringwheel leds are doing weird stuff (crazy flickering)

[@sebkeccu4546]

What a great feature at 23:30, it detects when the car moves in front of you, I wish it could do the same with a green light detection or red light detection 🙂

[@TheIoniqGuy]

They're infrared illuminators that only get picked up by cameras

[@dr.nagyistvan]

Many more videos like this! I really like the ones you've done so far! For me the video is topical, because today a RWD version will be ordered! I don't understand why Hyundai doesn't integrate a car music streaming platform like Spotify or TuneIn.

[@OrionDC]

Helpful for us 2025 5N owners too! thanks!

[@KiRiTO72987]

thank you im really considering an ioniq 5 AWD as my next car and really wanted a look into the software

[@sergedeschamps7355]

Thank you for this useful informative video. You commentaries will guide me to do good settings.

[@ZekeBriarcliff]

Awesome! I assume that this translates to the 5N(?) Great breakdown. These systems are soo intricate and complex.

[@thomasneely2700]

Thank you finally a in depth review

[@yesloow]

Another new 2025 Ioniq 5 owner here, this is helpful so thanks! So far this is a perfectly designed car IMO. Only issues I have and wondering if you know there's a fix for: 1) rear camera often gets water droplets or dirt on it that obscures the view. IS there a quick fix besides wiping it by hand each time before i get in the car? 2) With windshield wipers in high or low mode, they don't switch to intermittent when you come to a full stop (e.g., at a traffic light) For some reason having the wipers going hectically while I am at a full stop puts me more on edge. Is there a way to change this through settings so they calm down at a stop and resume when you start moving (most cars I've driven do this)?

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Great details but the all important route planing and selecting charger levels would be a great addition!

[@tomhennessy6699]

With so many customizable features, are most settings tied to a particular driver? My wife and I will be sharing the car. Thanks for a great video!

[@saragallup]

The lane change assist does not require the driver to "kinda nudge the steering wheel" (26:41), only a nudge of the turn signal is required.

[@jeffjackson6358]

You are killing me. There are two “TT” in the word BUTTON. I’m just jealous my 24 won’t have all of this.

[@ScottTaylor-n6f]

I’m only about 6 minutes in to this video and have my first question. Can we adjust the turn signal volume and front & rear proximity sensor volume and the 25? I really don’t like how loud those volumes are on my 24. I’ll keep watching

[@Bremend]

My concern is that if they hold a lot of these software features from the old ioniqs, where they do a full refresh, what critical features down the road will they hold from these refreshed vehicles?

[@MLsnacksnstuff]

There’s already silence regarding bring manual precondition (feature on some 2025 CCNC navigation) back to the pre 2025 Ioniw gen5w based navigation. Hyundai also mentioned they plan to move away from CCNC to android auto starting in 2026, so doesn’t bode well.

[@sebkeccu4546]

@@MLsnacksnstuff Maybe they can find a way to upgrade the CCNC to android, That would be better for Hyundai instead of having to update them for years to come.

[@alanrgould]

When setting distance to car in front, does it vary based on speed (to account for stop distance) and when set to close, how many seconds are you behind car in front? I use a 3 second rule generally or 4 at high speed.

[@JeremyS-y8g]

Thank you for the video. Have you found away to fix the fact that when you cycle through drive modes and inevitably pass snow mode which sets regen to 1 , it stays there and doesn’t revert back? It’s super annoying that I have to also fix the regen when changing drive modes now because of snow mode.

[@Molishious]

Is it possible to set the profile so that the HUD and auto high beams are off? Those are settings that my wife likes off but I like to have on.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yes, both settings are tied to user

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Other thing, does the climate preconditioning and scheduled departure initiate battery conditioning. I know my Tesla does this really well, which get the car 1 pedal driving experience even in cold temps (allowing more normal brake regen).

[@bobs6895]

Thanks for this. Please talk about V2L if it has it and how it is different from previous year models of the Ioniq 5.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

There's nothing different. You can use the old V2L adapter with the provided J1772 adapter or buy a new NACS V2L

[@sebkeccu4546]

Question, when you were showing the auto unlock doors: is there still not "auto lock" car when leaving the car ? (keys away from car detection)

[@TheIoniqGuy]

No, but the device I sell basically adds the feature based on time not proximity.

[@toddh4491]

I'm looking at a new XRT arriving in a Colorado dealer in a few days. This is helpful as the software is changed from my 2022. Good to come in as the salesperson isn't always good at this. Thank you!

[@tylerschoulte7513]

I have a 2025 Kia EV9 with ccNC, So it's really interesting to see all the extra options in this software Hyundai has included in the 2025 model. Now I'm left wondering if these will come to the Kia models!

[@vmagroup1]

I am thinking about getting Genesis GV60 2025 AWD base? What are your thoughts on it VS 2025 I5 AWD SEL. I test drove GV60 and it is really nice ride (still has the old J1772, plug). I5 AWD SEL still not available here in the Chicagoland

[@waxy1962]

Great video! I don't know if you are a SiriusXM subscriber, but the 2025 models are all supposed to come with 360L. Can you confirm this? Thanks!

[@LizaS.Goldberg]

Is there a way to lock the charging port? Manual said you could under EV settings but did not find it.

[@usaverageguy]

I set my AC Charging Current to 60٪ to utilize my solar panels more effectively. If set to 90% or 100% I pull power from the grid after I max out the PV output.

[@sebkeccu4546]

I control this from the charger itself (where I can select the output amperage)

[@usaverageguy]

@sebkeccu4546 Yea. Not an option on my 10 year old charger.

[@BenceMatyasi]

You can roll back up the windows by long pressing the lock button on the key fob.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I don't know what country you're in but in the US they don't. You had me second guessing myself and I tried again and they don't.

[@BenceMatyasi]

@@TheIoniqGuy I am in Europe, Denmark and have the Ultimate trim ( very close to US Limited) I tried the feature as I wrote the comment but it’s weird it doesn’t work there

[@JamesJDempsey]

Has reading received text messages improved over the '22? I find it useless when it says "Call from five billion, eighty five million, five hundred and fifty one thousand, two hundred and twelve". It's especially annoying when it's message chain with six people and it tries to read six telephone numbers that way. Also, in my '22, when a text message arrives, sometimes it gets confused about which contact the message is from. Do you detect any improvement there?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I don't use any of the cars features for calls or text messages as I'm always in apple carplay and that handles it. If you are like me, you can turn off those features so that it only happens in carplay or android auto.

[@JamesJDempsey]

@@TheIoniqGuy I would agree and would always use Android Auto except that on my 2022 without wireless Android Auto and with Hyundai's foolish restriction of only one USB data port, I can't use Android Auto and a USB memory card for music at the same time. 😞

[@joyousenoful]

Really wish I had that active sound design feature so I could turn off the whirring sound in my ioniq 6 sel. Apparently you have to get the premium trim to do that which makes no sense to me. I shouldn’t have to pay more to not have an annoying sound that has no bearing on the car operation

[@Yanquetino]

Hmmm. Quite a few changes from my 2024 system, with more customizable options. I was hoping that you'd show us the regen paddles, and more specifically if you could set i-Pedal and have it remain set the next time you start the car. That's one of my only complaints with my model. Just let me have one-pedal driving, Hyundai!

[@thomasneely2700]

Hey Corbin, In the General settings the OTA is showing on yours "capable" here in the UK if you go further down the bottom of the left menu it shows there and you can select on. but when I do it defaults back to off when you go back in, do you have that settings too, also if it switches back off does that mean its not on or there is an issue?

[@kevinchan1408]

How did you ensure that your car wouldn't be impacted by the ICCU issue?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I haven't ensured anything. I'm just along for the ride however things pan out.

[@kevinchan1408]

@TheIoniqGuy thanks for the reply!

[@matthewdobbs6088]

The Ionic guy Do you have a gas car or only EV ?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I have two EVs. Will never own another gas car

[@kareemayo]

For the driving modes, if I choose my custom. driving mode, I find that it reverts back to sport or the other driving mode I had before. Is there any way to have it default to my custom driving mode? Thanks.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

There isn't. The same happens with snow mode.

[@soaringspoon]

Does your Fitx Dashcam still work?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Nope just ordered a new one

[@nitrobenz1694]

I would love to be able to upgrade my 2023 to something like this. Maybe worth around $500-$1000 to me?

[@nitrobenz1694]

Just talking about the infotainment interface of course. Wondering how much it would cost Hyundai to upgrade it.

[@SteveRiggins]

I have every safety feature in and set it to normal for distance and close soeeds

[@petenelson252]

The future will be full voice control. Repeat after me. Voice controls.

[@accountability2000]

It's disappointing that they cannot or will not provide this update/new interface to older models. This is what the perks of Tesla and Rivian, and believe it or not Volvo EVs.

[@dwopper234]

Fantastic!. Hope to have my car in next few weeks and will be extremely helpful. Two criticisms -- I know this is an overview, and you will be doing in-depth videos of certain functions, but sometimes (especially in the beginning) I thought you went a little too quickly. I had to back it up to watch parts again. That leads to the second item -- it would have been really helpful in this long a video to have chapters, as you often do.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Thanks for the feedback. I plan on adding chapters just didn’t have time tonight and wanted to get it posted for you guys

[@ocriaf]

The older models (Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6) will get this new software via OTA update, or it is on a different hardware?

[@MLsnacksnstuff]

@@ocriaf different hardware unfortunately.

[@muskistutter]

Nice to see they are improving but man the Koreans over complicate their UI. (And you can tell because Ionic Guy had to make a 50min video guide! ). Look at theirs vs Tesla/Rivian. It’s a culture of Korean logic vs Silicon Valley sensibility. Android/Tizen vs iOS. I appreciate Ioniq Guy’s video though.

[@dguy321]

A video of a walkthrough of the tesla interface is over an hour long. So what are you talking about?

[@SteveRiggins]

If you are using CarPlay and do a quick press of the power button, it pauses CarPlay or resumes it.

[@rob8969]

God this is so much better than my 2022 garbage infotainment 😔

[@mavelous1763]

Hey Corbin, this may be a little off-topic, but I know you read these posts. Can you give an update as to the ICCU failures? I’M ASKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE 2025 VEHICLE AND THE VAGUENESS As to WHETHER OR NOT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND WHETHER OR NOT THE IONIC 5n HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I will never buy a Tesla because I despise fascism, but it makes me mad that they don’t have these issues and Hyundai is being secretive

[@Molishious]

Great introduction. Hyundai announced it will be moving to an android system. The AI system on my Google search says they will probably do this starting with the next version of the Ioniq 5. Any guess as to when that might be?

[@laloajuria4678]

Years...

[@SteveRiggins]

How did you set this up without a license plate? If I put in garbage can I change it later?

[@tonepilot]

Dunno, I think I prefer the interface on my 2024. This looks more like a computer / iPad screen and less like a vehicle interface. Especially, the driver’s screen.

[@DjNorad]

The manual preconditioning Battery srceen..... Does it really give NO further info about any useful information?? LIKE.... the time needed to precondition or current charging capability or min/max cell temperature ??? Nothing??? .... Astonishing...

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yes it has manual battery conditioning. Not a fail

[@SteveRiggins]

I wanted a custom Avatar and missed that! I also want it to stop greeting me when I get in the car, delaying my CarPlay

[@SteveRiggins]

Wait I changed my image but it’s not showing up in the car. Hmm.

[@SteveRiggins]

Oh I see, it’s not the Bluelink account avatar but the driver profile section a few screens deeper

[@sebajfobi]

It’s sad, that ccNc is already dead. We could have received at least all updates, that are already available, like ChatGpT, webOS etc

[@pmann46]

All very cool... but too bad Hyundai didn't fix the ICCU for 2025. And for that reason alone I'll never go back. Shameful.

[@sebkeccu4546]

How do you know it was not fixed? Was this in the video?

[@pmann46]

@sebkeccu4546 Ioniq Guy did an interview with a Hyundai representative not long back. He stated that it was the same ICCU module in the 2025 model year. Also, just go on any of the many Ioniq 5 forums...there are owners with ICCU failing on brand new '25s...

[@SteveRiggins]

Haha my star is also EV 3:22

[@VitorHändel]

No “sentry mode”, no media mode (Netflix, KZbin etc), no display of time, average speed and energy consumption anywhere in the menu after a trip, still laggy (horrible gps), but hey you got the same ICCU since 2021.

[@YellowBoltTC]

Ioniq 5 would be really good but the software is garbage

[@laloajuria4678]

This looks so bad. What a waste....
