[@RonMilesLokheed]

I just successfully installed this in about thirty minutes. Most of that time was not because the installation steps are in any way difficult, but because it is an awkward space to work in. For reference, I am 6'2" tall and over 300lbs, and in my late 50's. Wriggling around in a confines space is something that was much easier for me a few decades ago, but these days it's more difficult to contort myself into the correct position to get at the wiring harness. That being said, the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I disconnected my 12v, disconnected the harness, made the four taps as described, and reconnected the 12v. I saw the two green LEDs on the module, tapped the trunk open button on my fob three times, closed the door, and a few seconds later all of the doors auto locked. Three more taps on the same button disabled it so that the doors do NOT auto lock (important for situations like dropping the car at a dealership or with a concierge), and three more taps once again enabled it. As they say, 'Super easy, barely an inconvenience'. The doors not auto-locking has been my one genuine annoyance with this car, and I am thrilled to have that problem solved.

[@colindawson4818]

Love the idea of this, however, I really don't like cable splices. I'd love to see an adapter that I can plug in instead of splicing wires. Wonder if it's possible to get male and female connectors to be able to do this without needing to cut the insulation of any cables. Would also mean that the mod becomes completely reversable without effecting the car. Just like the FitcamX camera.

[@ccbbs]

I was thinking the exact same thing. It would be nice to plug it in line with the connector under the seat. I think sales would be crazy if it was that easy.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That would be cool! I’ll look more into it.

[@NCXDesigns]

That’s kinda like a molex connector. Metra made exclusive car molex connectors for us at Circuit City when we were still open. Something like that that can use the existing plug and this device could be connected via an inline molex adapter that would not only eliminate splicing it would also resolve any issues regarding warranty since you aren’t modifying anything.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I spent some time looking into it and the male side of the connector is easy to find but the female side I cannot find anywhere. The amount of time it would take me to build each connector with crimping and stripping wires, I would have to charge over $200 for each and I doubt people are willing to spend that much. Here’s the part number if anybody wants to look. Manufacturer: KET Part No: MG656961-5

[@nitrobenz1694]

That was my thought as well

[@mayorsoul]

I'm so glad this finally exist (unfortunately via 3rd party mod), but I personally find it very stupid that it can't do it on its own already. Huge price tag with a Limited trim to not have a basic function.

[@JeffMayes-p9t]

I purchased this with the trailer connector for my 2024 EV6. Install took 10 minutes and works perfectly. I love it. I wish there was an underbody light kit that works like my Ford Edge puddle lights worked. Keep up the good work with all these helpful products and vids.

[@gskpbond1962]

Purchased this door auto lock device recently through Corbin and received it very quickly. Because I’m color blind (lol), I took my Ionic 5 over to Tint World in Jericho and they installed it for me. They only charged me labor. I’m so happy with it. Tks Corbin

[@sparklander]

I just installed the auto-lock device with the trailer connection on my 2024 EV6 Wind (w/o tech), and to my surprise when I enabled switch 3 the vehicle both locked and unlocked itself automatically with no horn sounds. It was a beautiful thing. Thank you so much.

[@scottobrien963]

Just installed the trailer hitch adapter auto locking doors on my 23 limited ioniq 5. Other than the rear trim piece is a little pain to get enough room to reach connector. Works like a charm.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yeah it's definitely a tight spot but glad to hear that its working!

[@RamenNSoup]

Just received and installed this in my ev6. I had to use the force to feel for and plug the kit into the trailer hitch plug, but I'm happy to report it works perfectly. Thanks much!

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I personally haven’t done the install on EV6 myself so I don’t realize it was that deep down in there but glad to hear you got it working. Was it difficult to separate the tape holding the connector to the wiring harness?

[@sparklander]

@@TheIoniqGuy I never did get the tape cut for fear of cutting a wire, so I just pulled the wire loop through the existing tape and it worked out fine.

[@FormerFilmGuy]

Finally a solution for this on the Ioniq 6! Hyundai is so lame for not including this feature. I just ordered the kit. Can't wait!!

[@averyrph]

THANKS SOOOO MUCH!! I'VE GOT 60K, and i'm all around Jersey and NY city.. SO THE DOOR HANDLES STICKING OUT IS TOOOO TEMPTING to anyone walking by.. glad I can know I didn't leave it open and available to all inquiring eyes.

[@Yanquetino]

A clever device! Good idea! However, I assume it isn't "programmable" so that you can tell it NOT to work depending upon the location (say, in your garage). That's a useful feature of the"auto-lock" in Teslas: they'll lock when away from home, NOT when at home. BTW, somewhat related, I sure an OTA update would add a dedicated "Dog Mode" to the car.

[@nitrobenz1694]

Thanks so much for reviewing this Corbin! Especially for covering the warranty issue since that was my main reason for putting this off.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

A really great device, would have ordered it if I still had my Ioniq 5. The auto-lock works really well on my Tesla Model Y AWD, Hyundai should consider this option on the Limited equivalent model in Canada.

[@nitrobenz1694]

Seriously though, Hyundai should consider it on the base Ioniq 5. This is the first car I’ve owned in the last 10 years without auto lock :( and I haven’t had top trim anything. I didn’t even think to wonder if it was a feature since this is a new car.

[@mikefrith1590]

We have a 2023 Ioniq 5 in Canada with around 15,000 miles on it. I, too have issues with the locks but not the same as you. We have to park the car on the left side of the garage and so approach it on the right. As you would expect the doors unlock. To get to the drivers door we circle around the back to get to the left side. Just about the time we ‘round the corner’ the doors re-lock. On arriving at the drivers door you have to touch the drivers door handle or use the fob to unlock. WTF? This is just plain stupid but according to the dealer ‘normal’ While on my rant we love being able to use Bluelink to warm the cabin and the steering wheel but can’t for the life of me understand why we can’t warm the seats. I think it is a great driver but the ‘user interface’ needs work Keep up the good work

[@michaelbianchi7639]

Corbin, So close but ... The activate and deactivate codes (press the "trunk release" 3 times rapidly) should be different. Say 3 times to activate and 4 times to deactivate. That way you can set it to what you want without knowing the current state. What I really would like is what is in the Prius. Press the lock button with the door open and the car will lock when the door is closed. ((Big thanks for finding this!))

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Perhaps I’ll make that suggestion to the manufacturer

[@rob8969]

Yeah I definitely want it but don’t want to get into splicing wires for my seat heater. Last thing I want is that not to work all winter

[@NoamBabi]

Great idea. If you are already in contact with the mfg, ask him for an auto I-Pedal functionality 🙏

[@Motowndonna8]

Much needed modification! I’m also for the modular type if you develop it. Leaving the car inadvertently open happens when I get out of the car, get something out of the hatch having forgotten I didn’t lock the doors first. What I’d really like is the ability to lock the entire car while closing the hatch. Maybe next gen. Thanks for another superb video. 😂

[@zachlamoreaux5974]

Oh man, I was really excited to see this before you said it breaks the auto-unlock functionality on the cars without power folding mirrors. As a I6 SEL owner I would really appreciate an update if the manufacturer figures out a way to support those trims as well.

[@Draconis8888]

Yes!!! So cool! Thank you so much! Definitely pondering purchasing this.

[@pinalbav]

How do you disconnect the 12v battery? Would be nice to have that in the instructions.

[@jamesbayburt]

And is this a mandatory step or just for safety?

[@CFG39]

I wish someone could just figure out how to program the software to do this without additional hardware. Also, when talking about what could possibly happen with anything wiring related, my first thought is something like a fire or short. If the manufacturer can find you have caused damage to something they can certainly void the warranty for that particular issue. Magnusson-Moss isn’t the catch all protection some people think. Just like retuning an ECM on an ICE vehicle can void the warranty on the engine, I would be leery of splicing into wires in the event something did go wrong. Pressing the indent on the door handle takes all of 1 second and isn’t that inconvenient.

[@EpsilonFilms]

I have had something similar for quite some time using Home Assistant and its Bluelink integration. When my phone disconnects from the car's Bluetooth, Home Assistant sends a Bluelink command to lock the doors a couple minutes later. No mods to the car are required.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That’s cool! I thought Hyundai ended access to their API for home assistants? How long does it take before it locks?

[@gianelpibe]

Can you leave the key fob inside and lock the door wirh the app? I personally use this often when I go for a run or the beach/pool. Thanks

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yep, that still works like it did before installation

[@rydahog]

Just an update on walk away device. After 2 weeks, no issues, to the point I don’t even listen anymore for it to lock as I walk away. 🎉

[@RamenNSoup]

Just ordered the trailer hitch kit! I may or may not upgrade to the EV9 when my EV6 lease runs out so it'll be nice to take it with me. :)

[@seekwenzez]

Is Hyundai still going to start charging for use of the Bluelink app, (but let newer Ioniq's use the app for free - I think I heard you say this once)? Right now, if I forget to lock the door the app let's me know and I can lock it from there, but if I'm going to have to pay for use of the app, and I decide not to, then this would be even more critical. Rather than fake engine noises, I wish they would put some more work into these basic usage features!

[@davelavigne2133]

Or.... Maybe get Hyundai to update their software to work as expected.

[@eric4133]

Still find it crazy this isn't just a software update. How can the car open, detect the key then auto close if you don't open the door and walked away, but not do this when the door was open and closed?

I just ordered it for my EV6. From what I've read it should lock and unlock the EV6 automatically. It will not lock if you leave the key in the car.

[@Brbinlb]

I just bought, received, and installed. I have a 2023 Limited without the Heat Assy Box, so I had to attach the wire taps into the big white block thing as instructed in the guide. After doing all of the taps, and reconnecting the battery, I got the 2 green lights, but its not working at all. None of the doors are locking. I've also tried all 3 dip switch positions and no luck. My key fob is also different from the instructions. As I have the parking assist buttons. Any clues on how to get it to work or maybe a possible refund?

[@Lord_Reset]

Rant inside. I have a couple questions, first of most being why does this device need to exist? I don't mean that in the negative way towards the device maker or you Corbin but it's insane that these cars don't have something as simple as auto lock. Literally basic and a pillar of theft protection, especially with all the hot water from the immobilizer drama why the hell wouldn't they do this? The second question is why again, seriously think about it that's actually insane. I'll have a list of things below that bother me. My third question is if you can set the delay before it locks, I'd love that and I just want to say thank the manu for the product and corbin for kitting it out. Now on to the fun part, I love this car but there's a couple goddamn things that are so dumb: No auto lock, not timed, not proximity, zilch. No digital key 2 even on 24 my, promised software update but that might not materialize. I6 already has it, stupid we dont. USB A ports in 2024? Are you joking? This isnt 1997. No profile linking to keys, or profile linking to hard buttons, literally WHY. Speaking of profiles, why can I only have two of them plus a guest, what if more than two people drive your car? No rear wiper will probably be addressed next year but the fact we don't have one is stupid. No integrated dash cam even though it literally already exists in the Korean market and all the hardware is there, it's just a software update away (same with auto lock cuz it's available in Europe). This drives me mad because there's no development involved they already have it. No sentry or gear guard mode, again after the theft thing especially why?????? Why can't my brand new expensive shiny 2024 car do deep platform updates over wifi? Why do i gotta go to the dealership? No wireless Android auto or apple carplay, I don't care whatever contracts or excuses they have it's dumb we should have it. No Android auto or car play information in the front screen or heads up display, my dad's 2020 Honda pilot that runs a jank version of Android 4 can do this, no excuses. Also makes it so I got to use the worse inbuilt nav if i want information where my eyes are instead of lala land all the way off on the touchscreen. No ccnc system upgrade for even brand new cars, feels terrible buying a brand new car with tech that's already smacked by much cheaper one (kona ev). I still love this car but holy hell are these things completely inexcusable, especially the fact everything but the ccnc upgrade and USB c ports seems to be just a software update away from being available. Each of these things isn't really annoying but the fact they're mostly all software and could and should have been fixed by now makes them way worse. Rant over, thanks corbin for the device and guide though.

Ahoy Ioniq lord! Your wiring instructions only mention the se and limited… do you have color matching info for Ioniq 6 sel? Quite stoked to obtain one of these.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

SEL contains both connectors so you can install whichever way you choose. You’ll have to determine which one is easier to access for you but I would highly suggest installing via the trailer hitch wiring harness in the trunk as you’re not messing with the factory wiring harness. You just have to pull the side panel in the trunk to gain access

Great find and a great idea (which Hyundai should just offer lol) Quick question, so even though the 24 Ioniq 6 SEL has auto-unlock on approach this product won't work since that model is lacking auto-folding mirrors?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That's a gray area. Neither I nor the manufacturer has been able to test every car and every trim. That is my understanding but since it has auto-unlock, maybe it will? It'll likely work but you may just lose auto-unlock. You're welcome to test it out and if it doesn't work you can return it within 2 weeks for a full refund.

@ioniq5guy Regarding the splicing snaps, do they just go over the wire and have a small blade that cuts into the existing wire without needing to solder or cut anything? Or is that another type of connector I am thinking about? I really need this device, I always forget to lock my car. And Bluelink notifies me 10mins after the fact. That’s too much of a delay IMO. Off topic but can you also look into a cupholder extension that attaches to a mini table? I use my car for mostly work (do about 2k mileage a month). A table/desk that uses the cupholder on the front (but also still keeps the cupholders lol) would be a great product for those of us that use our cars for more than just casual use. My car is my office basically.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

It's a little grooved piece of metal and the two sides are sharpened so that when you place the wire into it and clamp the splice shut it pushes the wire into that groove which cuts slits in the insulation but doesn't dig deep into the conductor of the wire. I've seen a few in passing on Amazon and Hyundai sells one that attached to the bottom of the steering wheel but I think they only sell it in Korea. I'll keep my eyes out.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Good question. I've left them in my cars for weeks at a time with no issue. Something to keep in mind is that unlike your old car which I'm guessing was gas, these cars will top up the 12V battery when they sense it is low regardless of whether or not you are driving it since an engine doesn't need to be on to charge it.

Yes it has. I have photos in my installation manual showing install under the drivers seat in an Ioniq 6 Limited. See here: docs.google.com/document/d/1kJTl6SUMI5s0p1TpDlfdsoeQfA3dc4VtTWddvSo0CGU/edit?usp=sharing

This is a cool mod. Personally I probably won't install this because I like the approach auto open and don't want to lose this functionality. I wonder if this device will lock the doors when the car is in utility mode? I like to use utility mode from time to time and the only way to lock the doors while in utility mode is to use the physical key which is a bummer.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I showed in the video that it doesn’t lock when in utility mode

[@colincallahan8001]

I lock on utility mode by lowering the driver side window, exiting the car, close the door, then reach in open window, lock the car, and flip auto close on the window (and remember to remove your arm - also hold your keys in the other hand). Any way then I only need to use the physical key to unlock in utility mode.

I am surprise you haven't covered how to make Ioniq 5 work in carwash. I heard people have problem going through it....sensors go off and what not.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

It's been on my list but I'm honestly nervous to do it from what I've heard of others experiences. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough and pray that there is nobody in front or behind me at the time

@@TheIoniqGuy Sound like my gf. She quits doing car wash after one try lol. I hope one day they come out with a "car wash" mode in a software update where it help turning off certain sensors during carwash. I heard that the rain sensing need to be off, forward collision off and car need to stay on neutral.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yeah it's not a simple process and just one thing could cause the car to go haywire in there. I think this is generally just any newish car with lots of safety tech that's going to be difficult in a car wash.

Any idea why Hyundai won’t just do this via software?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

No idea. It's company wide though. I don't know of a single car from Hyundai/Kia/Genesis that do have it.

@@TheIoniqGuy This is absolute madness - I've had my N for 3 months and will have to trade it in because of this. Sounds ridiculous I know, this is death by a thousand cuts!

[@Rhaman68]

OMG, is it that challenging to lock doors manually? 2 yr 3 months 2022 Ioniq 5, no problems. I gather to most of the Hyundai/Kia owners this is a non issue.

[@eddi3x3]

No confirmation for the genesis gv60 yet...

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Send me an email if you’re interested in helping to find out

[@troelsjohansen1505]

Please... Let it look the doors in utility mode. - Enableling "Dog mode"

[@kristoffergo6973]

Brilliant!!

[@mjorn19]

I'd buy this if I didn't have to splice cables

[@jeffclark5268]

There is likely a patent on the delayed exit lock…so stupid that you could patent an idea like this that DOESN’T involve actually inventing something new. I use a SPOON for mashed potatoes! Patent that! Sorry we can’t give you a spoon for mashed potatoes.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

2025 Ioniq 5 will have it so either the patent expired or they just really didn’t feel like implementing it
