Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh

jusmeig

I have my Ioniq almost a year.
I have been using Spotify via Android Auto with great success up until recently.

For some reason now I get no audio. When I used to start a song, it would take over from the radio and play. Now Spotify shows the song as playing, the Ioniq MEDIA button even takes me to Spotify and I can see the song playing, but its like the volume it broken/disabled? Hiring/lowering it on media does nothing. If I flick back to Radio its fine and the volume controls work.

Anyone come across this?!
Am I doing something really silly...
Thanks.

Trying a different cable would probably be the first thing I'd do. Though if android auto is still connecting that's probably not the issue.

Do you play spotify on more than one device? I've noticed recently that I start spotify on AA, no sound. Then looked at phone spotify and saw that I was playing on a home device instead of "this device"

Yes I do, in work on a Desktop and then in the car.
That's a good shout thanks, might be that.
I'l check.

spotify is great in the ioniq.

Top tip...

I got some of the foam play mats in aldi for €8 and with a little trimming it fits perfectly as a boot liner... really good for peeps like me that use the charging cable daily!

I'll see your wet cable and I raise you a big hairy wet dog just after swimming in the Liffey

I'd recommend the OEM boot liner. Well made and only about €45 or so. And obviously fits perfectly.The cheapest aftermarket unbranded ones from the UK are about GBP25 so the price from the dealer is not that bad.

Mickeroo

Are dealers the only place you can get the official one?

Had to put down a layer of bin bags for transporting a sick cat to the vet last week. They weren't needed in the end but it was a nervous few minutes

Unfortunately had an accident tonight. No injuries thankfully but the back driver side of the car is damaged. Bumper in broke (hole in it) and badly scraped. Dark out but seems to be localised to under light between number plate and corner of car. What are my options for getting fixed. Hyundai or independent crash repair? Any special things need to be done because it electric? I.e materials etc so it wont effect aerodynamics and performance

unkel

Sorry for your troubles

I presume it's an insurance job. Just bring it to Hyundai so, let it be their responsibility.

Depends who's paying out, and the circumstances of her own insurance (a claim is only going to increase her premium so independent crash repair might end up being cheaper).

If its just aesthetics, I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to go to Hyundai.

A specialist car repair shop will make everything look new. Dealers arnt equipped for body work beyond replacing a bumper. Assuming it is cosmetic with no damage near the battery then no special procedures needed. The body shop can decide if they need to buy any parts, but often they can repair bumpers.

unkel

If it's an insurance job, it doesn't matter if it is going to cost €500 or €5000. And most people have step back anyway on comp insurance on a newish car, so shouldn't affect premium at all.

Hyundai won't do any paint work themselves, they will send the car to a specialist repair show. But by bringing the car to Hyundai, they assume overall responsibility for the end result. That's why I would bring it there for an insurance job. And expect a perfect car back.

OffalyMedic

Thanks for tips guys. Think I'll just go straight to body repair shop. Hopefully do it without going through insurance depending on price.

Here's a picture of the damage

New bumper is probably the easiest option there. There's no patching that

Can someone point out the differences between the 2017 model ioniq and the 2019 model. Iirc, the 2019 has a heated steering wheel compared to the 2017/8 model.

unkel

Yep that's the only difference afaik

Cheers!

Going checking out a 2017 one tomorrow. Anything I should look out for? Any typical "buying an EV" questions I should be asking?

There were two or three recalls you may want to ask about:

Fix to prevent leak onto ECU -- this one was mandatory, I believe
Charging port actuator -- prevents charger getting stuck in the port, affecting only some cars
Brake noise -- brakes sticking on a cold start, again only affecting some cars

Other than that, make sure it comes with both charging cables (Type-2 and 'granny' cable).

I've got a 171 with 40K KM on it, and had no issues aside from a slow puncture!

Not really, as long as both cables are there. The car has 3 years warranty left (and 6 years on the battery / drivetrain). Any recalls not yet carried out, can be done later (for free). I wouldn't even bother bringing that up during your trip tomorrow

Check if UK import (miles and km on display) as miles not easily hidden.

See if type 2 cable still has plastic bubble wrap on it (never publicly slow charged)

Look at tyre wear. Front wears much quicker, so swap tyres front to back to keep best on front. Use as bargaining tool.

Check condition of cloth seats and floor mats. Check for 1 and 2 year service record in book. If early 171 then year 2 service worth 140 euro should have been done. Check for 2 sets of keys and number of owners on book.

I would not worry too much about recalls, but if not done you need to get them done for free at main dealer. Similar with old software versions. Without this risk of issue is increased. You can email Hyundai Ireland with vin or reg to check.

Make sure you do test drive in sport mode... and hang on. Try out lane keeping (above 60kph) and adaptive cruise control (follow car in front).

Range shown on display depends on outside temperature and previous trips driving style. Expect 160km worst case winter, typically 190km motorway, 200+ below motorway speeds.

Sorry for derailing slightly.... But what are others experience of this? I got my first set of replacement tyres a couple of weeks ago. The installer refused to believe that I had not ever roster the tyres. He mentioned he has never seen such even wear on tyres in his life.
I suspect (without evidence) that the more even weight distribution caused by the lack of front heavy engine is the main cause....

Black_Knight

All good stuff guys/gals.

Were all 2017 Ioniqs of one spec?

Or

Any optional extras to speak of? I've heard leather mentioned, but that's it.

Mickeroo

Yeah just one spec, if it's an import it could be a higher spec.

irishgrover

The spec on the import (premium SE) are as follows (I'm trying to list the additions only but some may be common to both)...

Leather seats
Front seats ventilated (and heated)
Powered driver seat (with 2 presets)
Heated steering wheel
Heated seats in back (2 outside seats only)
Front and back parking sensors
Blind spot detection system

There may be more but can't think of any...

Mickeroo

I think rear seats are heated in the premium SE too.

irishgrover

Yes they are (sorry thought that was common to both - I've edited first post to reflect same)

Dont be at yourself

Premium SE has blindspot detection too I think.

God I'm **** at this :-) . Yes it does. It's actually by far the best tech feature in the car (bar the ACC). I do a lot of motorway driving and find it invaluable.....(again I'll edit my first post)

Black_Knight

So the Irish version won't have any of those features, yes?
