First 10 Things To Do To Your Ioniq 5!

[@FloridaDohertys]

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.

[@michaelsilverstein7404]

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.

[@benmanzoor4258]

Hi my ioniq 5 does do keyless entry in UK. Do u know how I can turn it on ?

[@MegaSn0wb0ardJunkie]

Another great video! Along with the side window tint, I got a strip along the top of the windshield as well. Helps when the sun peaks through the cracks and holes when the visors are down. I drive into the sun to and from work and it helps. I went to look up those LED replacement lights for the rear and visors lights. They say they are not compatible with the Ioniq 5 but if you're sure, I'll order them. Those incandescent bulbs are terrible! Lol

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Thanks Aaron! I considered doing that as well but didn't end up pulling the trigger. As long as you order the 31mm, they should fit perfectly. I think it takes Amazon a very long time when new cars come out to verify products for them which is unfortunate.

[@MegaSn0wb0ardJunkie]

@@TheIoniqGuy Haha yea...taking your word for it. And yes I can see that with Amazon . Ive been using those Bosch icons for years now. Even on my old cars and my wife's car too. They last a while! I love the service wiper feature. Had to call Hyundai service for that. Luckily there's a really knowledgeable tech at the dealer I got my ioniq 5 from. One thing I've noticed with HDA, my car likes to favor the right side of the lane. It's noticeable because I'm always putting pressure on the wheel to keep it in the center. And how it's supposed to recognize a large truck and push over to the other side of the lane....it feels delayed because by the time I'm at the truck it's too late and ends up moving over just before I'm done passing it. Have you noticed that?

[@oholdeno]

@@MegaSn0wb0ardJunkie I think a lot of folks tend to favor their left side when driving, including myself, and so it's very daunting to have the car move closer to the middle. I've experienced the same.

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.

[@thelonewrangler1008]

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

[@amperformance7998]

@@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.

[@margaretwebb660]

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.

[@WayneLuscombe]

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?

[@landi_landfred]

31mm will work. Ordered them also on Amazon because in my country (Germany) i couldn't find 28mm ones.

[@dep1001]

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 :)

[@TheIoniqGuy]

It'll definitely be interesting to see what the 2023 And 2024 models gain

[@craigstephens4318]

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.

[@carlostavares1020]

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!

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.

[@vrmartin202]

LED lights do make a difference. I didn't really care about the lights under the visors, but for sure I wanted more light in the cargo area.

[@marlonboyd9487]

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.

[@bigdog7658]

Check out youtube videos to see if ceramic coating is worth it. Spoiler alert, no it's not. Bit of a have.

[@stevesupalla350]

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👍

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Thanks Steve, I appreciate it! You want the 31mm bulbs at that link.

[@moomintroll2067]

First thing to do is purchase a portable battery charger. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2WxhpeEjN6ima8 for ioniq 12v battery issues. Following this I would apply some rain-x or similar to the rear glass. Finally I would spend the next 8 hours reading the manuals and familiarising yourself with all the tech :)

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

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.

[@trex1448]

[@TheNature101]

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.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

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.

[@amigajoe]

@@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).

[@filippopossenti1791]

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 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.

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.

Like all the ideas except for the window tinting. Safer for everyone to keep them clear; visibility out and into the car matters.

[@anthonyng8800]

@@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

[@TheIoniqGuy]

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

[@anthemnv]

@@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

[@garyherbert8242]

There is no back windscreen wiper, I have no idea why not ! but get yourself a small window wiper its very handy

[@ariefahmedshaik729]

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

[@yingmustang67]

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...

[@slair76116]

Thanks bro very helpful, in normally don’t even comment on this stuff but yours is useful.

[@Leo-v2c]

Im looking for a cell phone holder that doesn't attach to the vents nor stick on anywhere. Do you recommend any?

[@DM_Laf]

I tested RWD and AWD Ioniq 5 and could experience the vibration in central console and on the floor. Do you, or anyone else, experience any vibrations in your car?

[@joerobinson3267]

So can U tow the ioniq 5, with flat or low battery, bit like regen on roll down hill. But actually being towed.

[@StayConnectedEV]

My trunk battery didnt fit in the visor? Did yours?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Trunk battery? Do you mean light bulb?

[@StayConnectedEV]

@@TheIoniqGuy sorry lol bulb.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I didn't attempt to put the trunk bulb in the vanity. The ones shown in the video work in both sockets though so you don't have to worry about fitment

[@StayConnectedEV]

@@TheIoniqGuy so wait. Can you list the bulb you used in trunk and the ones you used in glove and visor?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

They're the same. 31mm festoon bulb

[@RCbeastman]

there is actullay no 28mm bulp on the market (your link is out of stock). would 31mm fit?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Are you in the US? I just went to the link and the 28mm are in stock

[@RCbeastman]

@@TheIoniqGuy just blue ones

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Weird. I see xenon white 28mm available for delivery tomorrow. 31mm will likely work but will just be tight

[@XavierWahrheit]

I clicked the link in the description for the replacement LED bulbs which looks like it's a shortened link to Amazon ending in .to, but immediately my phone started going haywire and then got an alert for a suspicious url. What the hell is that bro??

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Every link in the description is an official Amazon link so I don’t know what to tell you

[@peetu1982]

Good recommendations. I would recommend adding a ceramic coating on the whole car as well

[@yaric4]

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.

[@Abdullah-uv9nk]

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.

[@amigajoe]

Rails ??? The lack of roof rails is one of the biggest bummers about the i5 to me. Please tell me more !

[@brycewakefield6565]

Or maybe change the lithium into a Alkaine the range could be 900 miles

[@Bob_Adkins]

First thing I would do is get rid of those wheels! J/K, thanks for the nice video!

[@marcheld]

You are 100% right about dealers over pressurizing the tires. Why do they all do that?

[@karstenpedersen7749]

To protect tires during transit, avoids flat spots, somewhat atleast. They're supposed to adjust to correct pressures before delivery though

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Interesting!

[@karstenpedersen7749]

@@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.

[@verbils]

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.

[@rachelkarengreen99]

What you said about LFP batteries is not true. 100% is still less ideal for those batteries than 70, but just less so than other types of lithium batteries. Saying that LFP batteries "LIKE to be charged to 100%" or that it "doesn't degrade it in any way shape or form" is simply false, and shows a lack of knowledge of battery chemistry.

you mentioned about hooking a dashboard cam with usb to mirror or somthing?

[@brycewakefield6565]

I would like to install a solar panel to the car because of free energy

[@MartysRandomStuff]

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.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That’s great to know!

[@pk509]

Wiper trick is super-handy!

[@amperformance7998]

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.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That is a good tip!

rainX on camera lens and windshield. protecting the paint with a wrap.
