Hyundai Ionic 5 won’t recognize iPhone for CarPlay

Just picked up my 2024 ionic 5. The car won’t recognize the iPhone to engage CarPlay. Power is going to the phone, but nothing from the car. Tried a few of the tricks on the forums, nothing worked

Thank you engineers! 17 Tucson blend/mode door actuator replacement.

Driving home from work last Thursday and I noticed that I wasn't getting A/C. So after going through all the worst case scenarios in my head, I reached over to the passenger side and felt cold air. Thankfully I know that usually points to one of two problems. Either the actuator that control the blend door has failed or the door itself is broken. The actuator has plastic gears inside that are prone to breaking, so I had a pretty good feeling that it was the issue.

In a lot cars, this can be a nightmare since it can require tearing out most of the dash to get at these parts. But after a quick Google, I found out that Hyundai placed both the driver side and passenger side actuators on the outside of the of the center stack.

My local parts store had an actuator in stock and it took about 15 minutes replace. I ran the climate control through the motions and boom, I had my A/C back and was able to switch from hot and cold.

I honestly love working on this car. So far everything I've wanted and needed to do has been relatively easy.

Hyundai i30 engine oil question

I F’d up and bought 0W30 instead of the recommended 5W30 and noticed when i just poured the new 0W30 (longlife) in.

I read several posts/articles on the internet saying this is fine, haven’t read anything yet saying its not.

Is it ok?

My car is Hyundai i30 Station wagon from 2012, 1.4 99hp petrol

Loaner car

Does Hyundai do drivers license checks when giving a loaner during a maintenance/warrenty fix?

My girlfriends car is undergoing a complete engine rebuild via her warranty and they offered to give her a free loaner. The problem, she's battling getting the restrictions taken off her DL (it's currently suspended) because she had a seizure 6 months ago. The problem is the only reason she had a seizure in the FIRST place was because of a medication she was given reacted with another medication of hers. She's never had a history of seizures and she has never had one since. But the ER doctor that saw her forwarded a letter to the DMV unfortunately. So as of right now she's "technically" not supposed to drive but that's not humanly possible for her NOT to. So my question is, will Hyundai actually run her DL to check if it's in good standing?

I have 0 doubts she will get the restriction taken off, but it's going to take time for the letters we wrote to the DMV and insurance company to actually take affect and get go the right people. In the intrim she needs to be able to drive to and from work.

My 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid - light scratching

Not feeling so hot about this, but made slight contact with a pillar in a parking garage, and seeing some pretty surface scratches.

Any advice on best way to handle? I ordered a tough up direct kit, but I have a feeling that won't be super helpful for this..

Thanks in advance!

Long periods of non-usage.

Just got a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL BLUE and will be going on vacation for a month without the car. I am concerned about battery drain during this time and am wondering if the Bluelink app has an effect on the vehicles battery drainage, in addition to the key fob and anything else I should do to make sure the car is ok when I get back.

Hyundai Dealer Loyalty

Hello! I'm going to be buying a Santa Cruz this summer during my cross-country move. I'm thinking about price hunting dealers across the country, but also considering just buying the truck at the final destination where I'll be moving to. Is there any benefit to buying from the Hyundai dealer closest to your home? Or is there no difference in warranty, perks, etc. regardless of which dealer you buy at?

Slow wipers?

Has anyone had issues with the wiper linkage/motor on their Hyundai Kona? I have a 2022 SEL and the wires seem slow a lot of the time, they work but slower than i’d expect them too. I just put them up and ran the wipers on low and i’m hearing a squeak when it goes up and down… ear piercing but very quiet. Has anyone else experienced issues with the linkage sizing up or the motor failing?

TIA

Hidden camera in car?

My ‘16 Elantra SE has been stolen 3 times in the last year- yes I have the security update & I use a steering wheel lock, and I also have an air tag hidden inside. I feel as tho I take more than enough precautions & I’m not willing to unhook my battery every time I drive like GEICO has suggested to me several times 🙄

Anyways I want to try to put a hidden camera in there but I have no idea where to start, what to buy or how to install it.

I get my car back in (hopefully) 2 weeks & I just have a feeling it will be stolen again this summer at the rate things have been going for me.

Car radio question

Car audio

Hello everyone, I hope I'll find my luck with you. I have a diesel Hyundai Getz I would like to change the car radio, because the one I have doesn't really work anymore (the OG was replace when I bought it and clearly it came from a potatoe car).

So is a standard car radio is working, or do you have any recommendations at all ?

Thanks you for any kind of responses

Thanks a million

Tail lights won't turn off. Tiny white button. Please help

Hello. I have a 2015 Elantra. Yesterday my traction control light came on. It turns off for a bit after turning the car off, but comes back on 15 or so minutes after driving again. It's A solid orange light, there is no blinking.

I get home and realize that with my car off the tail lights won't turn off. After playing around with it, I realized that the tiny white button on the brake control switch isn't being pushed down when the brake is released. It looks like the brake bar thing doesn't have anything to push the button in.

There are metal "shelves" above the button. I rolled some cardboard up, pressed the brake to move the bar out of the way, then put the cardboard between the shelf and the button, then released the brake. This keeps the white button pressed down so the brake lights stay off.

This is only a temporary fix so my battery doesn't die when I'm sleeping. I need to get it fixed tomorrow but I don't know if it's something I can do myself.

What part is supposed to press the white button down when the brake is released? Is this also the reason for the traction control light staying on? How much am I looking at spending to make my brakes press that button again?

Engine noise

Just seen a video and wanted to see if this is considered engine knocking as well?

I’ve already had a new transmission put in and just worried I’ll run into engine failure. My only car and it’s barely at 74K.

Traded in my 2020 Kona SEL Plus for a brand new 2024 Kona SEL.

$0 down, they gave me 2K over MSRP for my trade in and payments are only about $20 more a month. Totally doable for what I’m getting. Only 10 miles driven when I received it. Still can’t believe it.

2024Hyundai Tucson with 2020Honda CRV trade in - worth it?

Hello guys

I am considering to buy a 2024 Tucson SEL AWD with my 2020 CRV trade in.

CRV trim is LX and miles are around 20.000

The deal is: Trade in my CRV and then pay them $10,000

I am not sure if it's a good deal and the 2025 Tucson is coming in June.

Can anybody gives me an advise? Thank you!!

Is this worth it?

Dealership is selling a certified pre-owned 2019 Hyundai Elantra Preferred (M6) 4dr Sedan with manual transmission and 56km on it for 19.5k CAD.

I know it is a fairly young car but 19.5k for a used manual car seems a bit much, especially because it’s not something specifically known for reliability like the corolla or civic.
