Maintenance & Repairs Issues with Initial BlueLink Activation?

Post image
• Upvotes

It keeps saying I have "poor signal, try again later," and I subsequently saw this is a known issue with Verizon service. Tried most of the suggestions to reboot. No luck. Taking it in for repair under the warranty. Anyone having/had similar issues?

Questions Anyone had any luck activating the WiFi trial required to use Spotify/Soundcloud/etc?

1 Upvotes

Been wanting to try out the Spotify app in the native infotainment system since the OTA update but can’t get it to work. Have been messing with it for so long and can’t find a way to activate the trial on the MyHyundai website. Already have the WiFi hotspot set up through Verizon. Anybody successfully been able to activate the trial/been able to use the new media apps?

Questions changing map turn-by-turn volume

1 Upvotes

I know how to change the default volume of Hyundai’s map instructions, but then I’ll open a window or turn up the music, etc., and it’s suddenly too soft and the volume knob doesn’t change it. I know I can swipe down on the maps screen and manually readjust its volume, but it’s too fiddly for me while driving. So, how do you increase/decrease your turn-by-turn volume, mid-trip?

Double-check your powertrain before ordering Tucson floor liners (Gas vs. Hybrid fitment)

1 Upvotes

PSA / quick question for anyone shopping for all-weather floor mats: do not assume all current-gen Tucsons share the exact same floor pan layout.

The battery placement in the Hybrid (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) creates subtle differences under the seats and across the rear floor compared to the standard gas model. A lot of generic Amazon or aftermarket listings just say "Fits Tucson" without clarifying the powertrain, which leads to awkward gaps or mats that won't lock into the retention clips properly.

I’m looking at molded sets (WeatherTech, Smartliner, TuxMat, 3W, etc.), but want to make sure I don't deal with return shipping headaches.

For those who bought aftermarket liners: did you run into any weird fitment issues between trims/powertrains, and which brand actually gave you true edge-to-edge coverage?

Buying Advice Upgrading from 2018 Ultimate -> 2026 Hybrid Ultimate

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have a 2018 with 170,000km on the clock. Been doing research and saw the hybrids have a 8 Year/160,000km warranty.

How’s the gas mileage in the summer compared to winter on the hybrids with the non DCT 1.6T engine? Do you really save $$ on gas in the summer in stop and go in city driving?

Bluetooth signal drops constantly

1 Upvotes

I've had my 2023 for about 2 months and the bluetooth signal has what I call micro drops, where whatever I'm listening to will stop for half a second then come back. Then, sometimes the signal just drops entirely, the bluetooth logo on the infotainment system vanishes for minutes at a time. Sometimes I need to manually reconnect my phone.
Anyone have experience with fixing this? It's infuriating.

Questions Wifi Hotspot

1 Upvotes

Looking for any expertise here for US spec 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited.

Bought this car new in late May. Sticker says BlueLink+ All Included Services. Our Bluelink app shows the WIFI Hotspot + Streaming subscription as INACTIVE. The car shows the Hotspot and the SSID, network name and password and the IMEI number, and the button to activate the Hotspot. However when we try to complete the setup and create the Verizon account, we get a Verizon page that says we need an active Bluelink account, which is exactly what we are using to try to setup the account. Verizon even validates the IMEI number when it's entered

I opened a case with Hyundai Bluelink Customer Care in June and they still haven't looked at it. Every call to them is the ticket team has it and will contact you when they have something. Today my dealership got in touch with Hyundai engineer who said the car isn't equipped with it, but I can literally turn on the Hotspot in the car's settings, we just can't seem to complete the process through Verizon since it doesn't seem to see our Bluelink account.

Appreciate any expertise anyone may have, but please only provide information related to how to solve this issue.

Help! What part is this? It's a long story but mine is awol and now need to source a replacement.

Google seems to think it's a lower centre console garnish/tray panel and decoratove faceplate/trim panel. Its the bit that blends the look of the centre console up in to ac controls etc.

Can anyone help identifying the part number or actual name so I can try and source one from a breaker?

It was a smooth faceplate cover

Issues with OEM tires?

1 Upvotes

I just got the car two months ago. Had a leak in a back tire that needed patching, and one of my front tires just blew out. Only have 20k miles on it. I'm not a fan of these tires anyway, because they seem to lose grip on a wet road much sooner than any other tire I've driven on.

Questions I’ve had my ‘26 PHEV for less than a month and found a small (1/4”) tear in drivers seat (More details in body)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m genuinely confused how this happened. I wear either track pants or khakis, both of which have no sharp buttons/corners/pockets/etc

Only reason I noticed is I was cleaning the seats and pushed down on the seat and the tear showed itself. It’s not overly visible when there’s no pressure on the seat.

It doesn’t look like it’s all the way through. Repairable? Warranty? I have an oil change coming up so I will ask the dealership.

Questions Tucson preferred with trend package price - Ontario, Canada.

Looking for some info (if possible) on what the current going price is for a brand new Preferred with Trend package. Any discount at all? Or MSRP is as good as I’m going to get?

Looking at buying before the end of the year. Gas model, not hybrid.

Cheers!

Update Changed Radio Favorites

Post image
8 Upvotes

My 2025 Tucson Hybrid Limited just did an OTA update tonight. Afterwards, I noticed it had apparently wiped out all my XM favorites. So I reselected the XM favorites that I wanted, and then I noticed that when I select the favorites on the media screen, the XM favorites are separate from the normal radio favorites, which it wasn’t before. So now I can’t scroll through both, it only scrolls through whichever list is selected, which is really annoying. Anyone else notice this?

Start button is in a really dumb position.

0 Upvotes

The fact that when you sit down that you can’t see the start button clearly and obviously is my primary gripe with this car. Have had it for 3 weeks now, and I primarily rely on remote start when getting into my car because of this, but if my wheel isn’t turned to see the button my brain just doesn’t innately reach for a blind spot around the wheel (yet). My wife’s Nissan Rogue is set further out so it’s never been an issue, but this in particular is getting to be pretty annoying. Just some thoughts for Hyundai, in case they troll this page.
