If you have polarized sun glasses on that's the problem. I had to buy a pair of clip-on non-polarized ones to go over my regular glasses. My display works great in any lighting at anytime of day or night.

Yeah. I see the same dimming with my head upright. It comes alight when I tilt my head to either side.

Polarized sun glasses are typically polarized vertically, to cut horizontal glare. So if the HD were designed correctly, it would be polarized the same direction. But NO, some designer just got this wrong. So no PSGs. Ah well, I'm not asking for a refund.

 

Huh. I hadn't thought of that. I'll check it out. Thanks. 👍

 

Yup with my sunglasses on the HUD is BARELY visible

 

Same here... polarized sunglasses. I keep a special unpolarized pair in the car now.

 

Yeah I bought unpolarized prescription sunglasses to avoid this issue!

 

I’m an airline pilot - we have to wear non polarised shades for exactly this reason - LCD displays disappear!! Tilt your head in the I5 with polarised lenses and the whole instrument cluster will disappear too!!

 

I found it almost impossible to get good non polarised clip-ons but discovered these non polarised over glasses, which as the name sugests, you wear over your prescription glasses. The mirror finish, and the visor like design, are in keeping with the IONIQ 5 cool image.
A problem I've found with clip-ons is when the sun is from the side it can cause reflections on the inside of the clip-on. Not a problem with these over glasses.

 

chick magnet! 😂

 

I have a really hard time driving without polarized glasses.

For HUD, tipping your head at a diagonal makes the HUD visible with polarized glasses.

Alternate: Prescription non-reflective and light sensitive/tinted glasses work with HUD.

For those with less sensitive eyes, it’s a bit of trial & error to determine which non-polarized sunglasses will work.

I’ve leaned to love HUD, but I wish it would display lower in the windshield. Mine is a bit crooked and I can’t find the fix. I removed the distracting speed limit sign. I hope Hyundai can solve the HUD/Polarized sunglasses conflict. The work-around is not comfortable on the eyes. Because I prefer the polarized, I only get the full HUD benefit when the sun goes down.

 

There is an adjustment to raise or lower the HUD. If you were able to remove the speed limit sign you were in the right place.
