The Start of Something New for the Ioniq Guy

The Start of Something New for the Ioniq Guy

If you've found your way here then I assume you already know who I am. If for some reason you don't, I'm The Ioniq Guy and I cover all things Hyundai Ioniq brand related. This includes the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (which I'm lucky enough to own), the upcoming Ioniq 6, and relatively distant Ioniq 7 full-size SUV.

At any rate, I finally decided it was time to go ahead and create my own space, separate from YouTube and Etsy where I can share my thoughts directly with whoever wants to listen. 

This website will serve as a place to purchase my magnetic eyewear holder for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and a place for blog style posts. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Two things:
1. Emergency breaking and regen driving level: Is the harshness of the emergency breaking related at all the level of regen set? We had the emergency braking system break for us once and we didn’t have the dog appropriately strapped in the car and the dog flew….car breaked really fast. (Dog is fine, but now sits with a safety harness…trying the sleepypod harness) Is emergency breaking mechanical or electric? Is there a way to adjust the emergency breaking so it is not so sensitive? It is almost dangerous.
2. Can you 3D print or create something removable to sit in the crack between the inside seat rim and the console? I call it the crack of death because if something falls down it is gone….and it is a hard space to vacuum. That would be SOO wonderful to have something fashioned just for the Ionic 5 (we have a 2023). Thanks!!!

I like your work! Today, I had just entered onto the highway, reached driving speed and was still in right lane when the forward moment of car died. The car just started rolling to a stop. I pushed on the “gas” pedal and nope, still roling to stop. I was able to park in the shoulder and turn off car. Yes, the car had power – the dashboard still worked, etc. It was almost as if the car went into neutral on its own. On the should I turned the car off and on quickly, then pressed on pedal and no movement. Turned car off again and waited a minute or so and the car resumed working like normal!!! I can’t imagine I accidently switch car into neutral… they were both on steering wheel.. but maybe I did. Anyone experience this! Car is an Ioniq 5 purchased in March 2023 from Kirkland Wa and we have had no problems (ok, I think I have the trunk rattle). We actually love the car. Any comments?

(Hello Hyundai!) My new 2024 Ionic 6 Limited recognizes when (in PARK, but still ON) I exit it with the FOB in my possession. It emits an external alert that lets me know it’s still running. Can this feature be harnessed to activate an automatic door locking mode? That option is highly desirable for people like me who’ve driven auto-locking vehicles for several years. NOTE: Teslas have had it since 2012, and so does my 1997 Viper-equipped Miata.

Since they share the same platform, will the Ioniq 5 walkaway auto-lock module work on a 2024 Ioniq 6 Limited?

Do you have a walk-away auto lock module for limited ionic 6,
