hey everybody it's the ionic guy here and today i'm going to be showing you guys an accessory
and this accessory is a tempered glass screen protector for the infotainment display
now if you go on amazon and search for tempered glass screen protectors for the ionic 5.
there's a few options and most of them don't have many reviews i went with the one with
the most reviews which doesn't say much so there's a couple options you can get just
the infotainment screen or you can also get the driver display behind the steering wheel
now i'm of the opinion that you don't need a tempered glass screen protector for the
display behind the driver's side steering wheel i hardly ever touch that screen i'll give it a wipe
down once every couple weeks but that's about the extent that it's being touched so i don't see the
sense in spending the money on a screen protector for the driver display so i did go ahead and i
bought the protector for the infotainment display and i'll show you guys how to install it and we'll
talk about how it how it does in the day-to-day use so inside the box you're going to get
a book of instructions installation auxiliary tools let's see what's in there
so you get a paper wipe a little microfiber some dust removal stickers
you get a couple extra sticker whatever the hell that means
so of course also the main component of the screen protector is the screen protector itself
so you can see here these more rounded corners are obviously going to go over on this corner so
the first thing you're going to do is use your wipe paper which is basically an alcohol pad
just clean that area now i've got the climate control turned off just because i don't want any
dust being blown around in here possibly settling on the screen before i get the protector on
so then they suggest after wiping it down using the little microfiber towel they provide
so these ixed stickers are actually to help align the screen protector
so you can see if i put it on right here the sticker for peeling back the
adhesive is down in the lower right corner so that's kind of convenient
the little air vent controllers hold that nicely in place so these stickers are used to
position the screen protector
so that you can kind of just flip it up
and then lower it back down into place when you're ready to adhere it so
i don't know right about there looks pretty pretty centered to me
so i got the other corner
here yeah that looks good so i'll pull this up
and i will pull back
the adhesive here
making sure to leave
these stickers attached to easily fold it down
okay all right here's do or die time
so i'm going to okay you can see it's starting to slowly spread across the screen
so now that's on i'll pull these tabs off
and other than that there you go screen protector installed pretty quick and painless
it looks pretty good
obviously there's a little bit of a ridge there in the center
i don't know if with the driver display screen protector that would butt up directly next to it
so i'm gonna live with the screen protector for a few days and i'll uh report back to you
guys how it's doing so i've spent a little time with the screen protector in place and for the
most part i like it it's fairly unobtrusive the only thing that i've found that i'm not
a big fan of is it is just a little too glossy and depending on time of day the driver display screen
won't have any glare on it but this will be very difficult to see because there's so much glare
so i think the slightly matte finish to the the screen underneath is definitely better
for viewing in situations with a lot of low uh angle of sun and potential for glare so if you
drive around that time of day which i do when i get into work the sun is just starting to come up
it's a little bit annoying but i think i can live with it i might turn up the screen brightness just
a little bit to counteract some of that glare other than that responsiveness is perfectly fine
the system works well i'm not noticing any issues fingerprints don't seem to uh
show very easily so all in all i'm going to give this product a recommendation it's cheap insurance
replacing this whole screen assembly i would imagine is going to cost
quite a bit that's even if you could get it at this point i mean
parts for this car are so hard to come by right now if you go to any of the hyundai parts websites
and you search for 2022 hyundai ioniq 5 there's literally nothing all they have are accessories
there's no parts available to anybody i'm i'm sure they're available internally to dealers
just not to us yet so might be a while before you could get those parts even if you wanted to
so i think that's going to do it for this week's video on the screen protector if you guys found
this useful let me know your experience with the screen protector if you've got one if you're going
to get one like i said i think it's just good cheap insurance yeah sometimes it makes the
take care everybody so if you're anything like me you were probably disappointed when you got
your ionic 5 and you didn't see that there was any overhead sunglass storage so i went out of my way
and i solved that problem here's my sunglasses and here's your new best friend the dashboard sunglass
holder for your ionic 5. just clicks right onto your magnetic pad next to the driver display and
your sunglasses go right on it these are made out of petg and they won't melt or soften in the heat
of your car my design will work well with thick plastic frame glasses such as ray-ban wayfarers
but not so much with ray-ban aviators or wire frame glasses so these are available on etsy
for 17.50 plus shipping and handling the link is in the description thanks for checking them out
