The main thing I'd like to share is my wife getting text messages when she leaves the door unlocked. Still haven't figured that out, even with her successfully added as an Additional Driver.

I think you need to grant the Hyundai app 'Notifications' permissions on her phone.

Assuming we're talking about this following screen, yeah all the app "notifications" are turned on. (As an aside her app is called MyHyundai even though mine is called Bluelink but maybe that's an Apple/Android thing.) But I don't even see on this screen any option to turn on/off the text message that door is unlocked.

And on her phone notifications are turned on for the MyHyundai app, although I don't think that has anything to do with this because it's not an app notification. Specifically I get a text message in my messages app saying her car door is unlocked.

It may be different in the US.

Here in Europe, both my wife and I have the Bluelink app, and I 'shared' my car with her.

And do you both get text messages from the car? Specifically about door unlocked? Thx for helping troubleshoot!

Yes, but I had to allow notifications from the Hyundai app on her iPhone.

Yeah her notifications are allowed and turned on. But again this is not technically a notification I think. It's not just a banner that shows up from the app (to be fair yes I also get an app notification). It's a text message I'm talking about. I get both the notification from the app as well as a TEXT message. Do you and your wife get a notification from the app AS WELL as a text message?

Confirmation from Hyundai that notifications for 2nd Bluelink user not possible:

"In regarding your inquiry on secondary drivers receiving notifications from app regarding your Ioniq 6 2026, Only the main account holder will receive notifications to the number that has been set up for the notifications. The secondary driver will not receive these notifications."

So in reality/real-life, although it's possible to add a 2nd driver to the app, I think it's likely more useful to just login to both phones with the primary user's email address INSTEAD of doing this thread's add 2nd driver thing. I believe the in-car profile and seat settings (controlled by the button on the door) will retain in any case.
