2025 & newer Ioniq 5 comes with a wireless charging pad on certain versions but due to its design, causes your phone to overheat fairly quickly. Once your phone overheats it stops charging and will lose charge very quickly when using wireless CarPlay or Android Auto.
To solve this problem, I designed my own MagSafe specific wireless charger that replaces the existing charging pad (on SEL, XRT & Limited trims) which solves two problems:
The MagSafe charger is designed specifically for your iPhone or Pixel 10 and gets much closer to your phone leading to improved energy transfer.
It sits higher off the rubber mat which allows for airflow around your device leading to a cooler phone and less chance of overheating. In my testing, my wireless charger keeps the phone ~10°F cooler!*
Choose from three versions depending on if you want to supply your own Apple MagSafe charger. Please verify which version you have with the following information and the photo in the gallery.
Apple Gen 1: Has a rubber cord and the charger has the letters (R-NZ) etched on the side.
Apple Gen 2/3: Has a braided cord and the charger has the letters (EMC8247 or EMC9036) etched on the side.
Compatibility not confirmed for any other wireless charger besides Apple's.
Installation (see video in gallery):
Pull up the rubber liner covering the existing charging pad. Take your new charging pad and align the 4 posts with the 4 holes located on the old charging pad and press down until it rests flat on the old charging pad. Plug it into one of the USB-C ports located in the center console and you're ready to go! Make sure to disable the old charging pad in the settings.
*Performance may vary. Phones will overheat quicker if in direct sunlight or in a hot car.Using this device doesn't mean your phone will never overheat as wireless charging inherently is inefficient and creates a lot of excess heat. This product reduces the time it takes to overheat depending on various factors.
