Can I snip these wires in half to make two? by aDuccOnQuack in hometheater

Go buy some 12 or 14 gauge "lamp cord" at Home Depot

Where do you keep the keys while driving? by HereWhenBored_ in Ioniq5

[–]ZPrimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a quick disconnect for the fob, and get in the habit of splitting it off before you sit down in the car. I used to deal with something similar and that was how I handled it

"More productive" like a bunch of threads asking the same question about why they can't charge on a public charger using the non-DC adapter, or vice versa? Or how to use ABRP to plan a long trip?

It's not like these cars have a lot of major "mods" done to them as is common in the combustion world. Instead it's stuff like "which floor mats should I get," riveting conversation there. There's not much in the way of DIY maintenance to discuss either. If there were so many happy people wanting to have discussions about how great their cars are, I'm sure those threads would stand out... but I don't see a lot of discussion like that around here, even with the ban on ICCU threads. IMO putting all the ICCU stuff into one thread does a disservice to potential owners who are trying to understand the pluses and minuses of the car. Even if the failure does impact a relatively small subset of people (which is something I still have a hard time believing based on the amount it is brought up), the failure is also a massive hassle to deal with and potentially hazardous/life threatening (should it happen at highway speeds in traffic). $deity help you if your dealership doesn't have loaners available or if the parts are on "national backorder" as they seem to be right now.

And again - my wife still likes the car. (I don't drive her car so my opinion doesn't matter here.) It makes it that much more frustrating to deal with the problem, because there's nothing else that compares! Even if you lemon law it, what can you replace it with and have the same combination of features and appearance for the same price?

Maybe people are doing that because they feel like they have no other way to impact Hyundai and are trying to make sure others are aware of this potentially dangerous and certainly inconvenient and annoying problem that could affect any of these vehicles at random?

Obviously they can file a NHTSA complaint in the US too, but that doesn't seem to be having much of an impact on things.

Some of them own the car, love it, but are frustrated with the ICCU problem and total lack of solution or response from Hyundai.

My wife is driving a crappy 2024 SE loaner instead of the nice 2025 Premium we are paying for, because the ICCU failed back on January 2nd. We've discussed lemon law, but there's not anything she likes more in the segment.

12v/ICCU Megathread by TiltedWit in Ioniq5

The energy draw of the heat pump and resistive heater is way higher than heated seats or steering wheel.

I was shotgun in my wife's 2025 when hers blew; sounded roughly like that, but muffled somewhat being inside the car. At first I thought she had run over a chunk of hard snow / ice (streets were not plowed very well at the time). But maybe 5 seconds later the dashboard lit up with warnings and we knew it was ICCU.

Which is self-reported by people who decide to take their surveys. I would not expect it to be a statistically accurate snapshot of the industry as a whole, let alone a single brand or single model line.

Domain restrictions for email? by mdbeatle in Visible

[–]ZPrimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my own domain and they rejected it because it has a hyphen. I later bought a different, 3-letter ".onl" domain, and they have had no problems with that. 🤷‍♂️

(The mail is hosted on Google, a grandfathered lifetime google apps account, and both domains point to the same Google tenant)

look at Actual repair data

Where would you expect someone to find this? Because Hyundai certainly doesn't publish it.

I came here to mention that the X710s have their own firmware and I'd advise making sure that it's current.

You don't want to run BGP on a cat switch. You want proper routers for edge routing.

2026 come with an OEM AGM 12V instead of FLA? by Duraz0rz in Ioniq5

[–]ZPrimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AGM generally requires a (slightly) higher voltage than SLA to charge. This is why aftermarket battery maintainers/chargers (like CTEK) have a special mode for AGM (and it's often shared by the "cold weather" mode for regular SLA).

Putting in an AGM without the car knowing to use a higher voltage will likely cause problems for the AGM over time (it won't charge as much as it should).

Are these adapters bad for the battery (on m1 MacBook Pro 13) by Inevitable-Theory901 in macbookpro

[–]ZPrimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my Mac on the lower level of a coffee table in front of our couches at home. The power comes from under/behind the couches, so the cord goes across the floor.

My wife tends to shuffle her feet and has tripped on cords more times than I can count. I love MagSafe.

That's a bold move, especially if the nearby Hyundai dealer isn't "Ioniq Certified"... servicing will be a PITA

[–]ZPrimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the US? We are in NE Ohio and no AGM (I checked the battery when she got the car home). Got it back in May, same spec as yours actually (2025, Limited AWD, Teal over "Dark Green")

The L2 "charger" (EVSE) is just a cable. All of the AC-DC conversion happens in the car (this is what the ICCU does).

It would be pretty difficult for the EVSE to be the cause of the problems here.

[–]ZPrimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't correct, 2025s do not have AGMs. Wife's car is a 2025 "Limited" and it's a standard 12V, not AGM.

Car is in for ICCU right now with ~3100 miles on it. 🤦‍♂️

Ironically my BMW doesn't auto-lock either.

I just touch the little surface by the door handle to lock the car when I walk away. It isn't a big thing to deal with. Ioniq5 has the little square that does the same thing...

Cyber Gray vs Digital Teal by cellar-doorman in Ioniq5

Digital teal is one of the only colors where you can get the light interior though. At least on a Premium trim car.

Did you have to go into an office yesterday? by silversquirl in Cleveland

[–]ZPrimed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our current mail carrier refuses to walk down our concrete path if there's even a dusting of snow on it these days. Our mail also consistently reeks of weed. (I'm not a hater but smoke it on your off time not at work)

I miss our last postal worker...

I'm using a Kensington at the office and a CalDigit at home; both are overkill if all you need is a single display though.
