Second Flat in 2 Weeks. $511 each time. These Pirelli Scorpions are killing me.

But there is some sort of heron family walking around my car, so I've got that going for me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Anyone not have issues with Calligraphy tires?

I think we all see the posts about popping and swelling scorpion tires on the Calligraphy. Just curious, has anyone actually made it a typical tire lifetime with these?

Wondering if I need to start making a plan to replace my tires now or just ride them out.

How to get the theme?

I have the 2026 Caligraphy Hybrid. I can access the themes in the bluelink store in the app but it says my vehicle is not eligible. It did the display update the other day. Is there a setting I need to enable or something? Do hybrids not get it?

Update: checked to make sure my infotainment did actually update and it apparently never did or it needed another update - it is now updating again hopefully this solves it thank you everyone!

Spare tire installed in 2025 Hybrid

After reading much on this forum, finally decided to install a spare tire in the Sante Fe as we’re going on a trip soon. Better be safe than sorry!

Honestly, this was much easier than expected. The hardest part was winding the spare tire back up. It was very tight and felt like it definitely needed some grease in there. Other than that, removing the screws underneath took a minute and mounting the bracket on there took a few minutes just because I wanted to make sure they were properly tight. I’d say the bracket took like 5 minutes and getting the tire up under there took the other 5, lol.

I also bought a spare kit from value spare and one of the foldable Hyundai lug wrenches.

Any of you know where I can find an extender so I have more room to wind or unwind the spare tire? It’s a tight fit even with the foldable lug wrench.

CarPlay glitching for anyone else?

CarPlay wasn’t working after the update, so I rebooted everything and it reconnected.

But now it’s all wonky.

I’ll listen to a song, and when the next one comes on info from the previous song will remain on screen.

In Google Maps, the car icon isn’t there.

Anyone else experienced this issue or similar? Got a fix for it?

Themes/Cluster

I got the update to purchase the themes, but in the MyHyundai Blue link app I don’t see the store option under Menu. The app is updated. Is anyone else having this issue or had this issue and fixed it? I have a 2024 and an active subscription to MyHyundai.

CarPlay always disconnects

Does anyone else’s CarPlay constantly disconnect with the only way of fixing it being to completely remove it from the phone and car? It’s super frustrating that every few days I need to go through this. Any fix to this?

New 19” inch rims and Michelin Defender tires

2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy hybrid. I love this car, but I had to replace 2 tires after only having had the car (which I bought new) for 9 months due to bulges. This past weekend one of those new tires completely popped while driving on a brick road. I noticed another one had a bulge too.

Went ahead and begrudgingly replaced the rims with 19s and got Michelin tires. Bye pirelli!

Update OTS

It’s been updating like this for 4 days already, and nothing is happening. Has anyone experienced this, or does anyone know how to fix it?

Anyone w/ 2024 SantaFe have the themes?

Title says it all. Would love to try it out and from what I read you need the ccNC system which the 2024 has but don’t see the theme store in the app. Anyone with a 2024 have this working?

Apple Car Play Song/Art/Album Mismatch

EDIT: this seems to be confirmed as a Spotify known issue and not a Hyundai software problem. Thanks for all your comments! 😊

Anyone having this issue where the album artwork, album, artist, and what’s playing don’t match up? This has happened randomly a few times for me since I got my Santa Fe but since the update a few days ago is a consistent problem. Sometimes switching tracks changes only the album name. Sometimes it changes everything but doesn’t match the sound playing. In the bottom photo, there’s a total of 3 artists displayed at once. It’s driving me nuts.

PHEV Watchdog.

I came from an Outlander PHEV to the SF 2022 PHEV, and was happy to see that the application that I used for the outlander works well on the Santa Fe!

Battery issues?

I just bought the 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid yesterday, and we absolutely love it! Happy to join the club lol

My only issue and concern is that today (literally have only had this vehicle for 24 hours) a vehicle diagnostic warning came up. Seems like a batter issue, possibly.

I am taking it back to the dealership for them to take a look, but is this a common issue or has anyone else dealt with this?
