Hi r/Ioniq5! One of my least favorite parts of being an I5 owner has been dealing with the BlueLink app. It just isn't very good. So, I made my own version that is available now via TestFlight!

BetterBlue is an iOS 26-native, completely free app for Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It supports:

• Viewing range/battery percentage
• Locking/Unlocking
• Climate control
• Stopping and starting charging
• Multiple vehicles from different brands
• Widgets
• Shortcuts
• iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch

Note that the app requires iOS 26 and an active BlueLink subscription!

Both the app itself and the client are fully open source with zero tracking or advertising. You can check out the source code below (PRs welcome!)

Please try it out and let me know what you think! I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Honestly, I really wanted the N in performance blue matte, but life can’t always be rainbows and talking unicorns. I had professionals apply Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra ceramic coating. Anyone else go this route or something similar? 10h hardness with 9-year guarantee. I want easy washes and sustained shine. Anyone out there have a year 2/3 update? Just don’t gloat about your performance blue matte car. I’m sensitive.

Charged the 5 N at one of Hyundai’s E-pit stations tonight. It’s Hyundai’s own charging network and the whole setup looks like something from Blade Runner lol

It charges up to 260 kW so 10-80% takes like 19 mins. Price is as low as 325 KRW/kWh if you own a Hyundai or Kia EV, that’s about 24 US cents. They have their own app too where you can find stations, see what’s free and pay by just typing in your phone number and pin at the charging station. PnC is available too, but I’ve found it to be unreliable at initiating charge.

This station is right next to a large lake which makes for a good walk while it charges.

Everybody tries to race me. I’m not doing anything. I’m not making eye contact. It’s every type of car in every situation. Why? (Yes, I’m in Florida.)

please delete if not allowed I read the rules and it should be ok

I took in a super clean, white, pre-owned Ioniq 5N with low miles. Dm me if interested!

Took the body shop two attempts (first application was done incorrectly and peeled horribly) but we got there in the end.

Over a year and the honeymoon period is still going strong.

After more than 8 months of going pro se, dragging Hyundai through Florida’s lemon law process, and I mean all the way to a final state arbitration board order after outright refusal to comply with state law and multiple bad faith actions/inactions, my thought process is, “if it happens again, I get my money back… so I might as well live a little.”

And since they were ordered to do it (not a settlement), there’s no NDA. Pro tip: If you are in a lemon and you traded a car for your I5, you are entitled to your trade being calculated as NADA/J.D. Power RETAIL value as of your purchase date (likely a plus for most who traded a car). Hyundai is required to produce the book with the numbers, but they won’t. Worry not because it’s at your public library waiting to be photographed. Don’t trust anything they say (your interests are not aligned), follow the law and you’ll get there, eventually. But would I do it all again? Oh, I’m a gluttoN for puNishment.

Finally picked up today, I love it so far coming out of IONIQ 5 is a huge difference in a good way. I was a bit nervous about the blue but I’m so glad that’s what I ordered it looks amazing
