I ordered both with my car. Factory installed.

Is that a 2 inch or 1 1/4 inch receiver?

 

would you know the Hyundai part number ?
thanks.

 

Can you take more photos of the roof rack as well please. Looks like a universal roof clamp / roof rack system - please let us know if its a Thule or Yakima rack as well. Couple of pics would be great to help us out

 

Sorry I only have this atm as I am on holiday and left the racks at home.

 

Pictures and part numbers of my Thule Wingbar Edge, post #16

Hello from BC Canada! A couple of questions (roof racks...

Put in a reservation and did my test drive over the weekend. I don't think mine will come until late spring/early summer - but I'm super excited about this. Just posting as I have a couple of questions to those who has received their I5 already, that I don't think is something I will have...

It’s a Yakima rack. Sorry I don know the part number for The hitch. I just asked the dealer to order it.

 

Do you notice any additional wind/road noise?

 

Thanks for the Thule post and the Yakima - I really like the black Yakima roof rack, it will suit our black I5 really well, it seems to have less height off the roof as well, we like that. It does seem quite a bit harder to find the rack though being in Canada. Looking at this as we suspect we will be doing a road trip the end of June and a roof rack / receiver hitch is a must for a roof box and a bike rack on the back.

 

Hmmm, yep the manual says to turn this off in driver assistance. Chapter 7

 

that would make sense as both Australia and NZ are on a software version from March 2021

 

I wish we had that in the US! I can't find any options here. Stealth Hitches said no plans to develop for the next 6-12 months... Nothing from the dealer

 

Following - need 2" receiver for US Ioniq SEL. I have installed hitches on VW ID4 and Toyota RAV4 Prime.
Anyone have the part number for the Australia 2" hitch receiver ? (Might look at fit and order from overseas)

 

Quebec manufacturer has two hitches listed.

Good find! And the price is great - the 2" hitch is cheaper than the 1.5" hitch, for some reason, or they have a mistake....
And I wonder if installs are contracted out?

 

I got Thule installed for roof rack and avaliable on Thule website under Ioniq 5. For trailer hitch I am ordering from Rack Attack Vancouver, Canada.

 

Care to share how it goes with Rack Attack? I’m in Vancouver too and looking for options for a trailer hitch

 

I installed the SRG hitch over the weekend using this install guide --> Ioniq-5-towbar-fitting-guide-etowbars.pdf The SRG install manual is certainly lacking and more pics would have been appreciated - torque specs would have been great too.

I've removed bumpers before and this one was a little more difficult. The hardest part was releasing the leading edges of the bumper from the holders/clips - this wasn't mentioned or indicated in the install manual I used. I went with the 1 1/4" option as all I need is to carry a bike rack so no hitch wiring was installed. The hitch sits right below the silver part of the bumper - essentially right below the bumper cover (no cutting is needed on the bumper cover). So ground clearance to the bumper has been reduced by the dimensions of the 1 1/4" receiver.

Overall it's a sturdy unit but will slightly reduce ground clearance.

Any chance you can post some pics of the setup? what cut out was required etc. Its seemingly one of the cheaper options in Canada so considering it vs say the new stealth hitch option which is likely to be 2-3 times the price!

 

Here's a side profile pic:

 

BCKEV, if I'm looking at this profile correctly, the cut-out is actually just the lower part of the bumper, not really visible unless one bends down? Trying to talk myself into a DIY install

 

Thanks so much for sharing your install experience.
I havn't called them yet to get a quote on installation here in Ottawa/Gatineau, but based on what you've shown, I may decide to do it myself... once we have warmer weather.

 

No problem, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I would recommend having a good part of a day set aside, take your time and use a light touch. The tail lights have 2 locating pins that need a good pull to release - I used a screw driver to aid in this but watch the paint. The wheel well trim has 4 clips holding the back portion on that need to be released, I found it easiest to gently tap one of the plastic pins out from inside the bumper to gain an edge to pop it off. There's orange power cables on either side of the bumper support which get in the way of the bolts needed to remove the bumper (final step). Finally, releasing the leading edge of the bumper (edges right above the wheel wells) was the hardest part for me - so take your time and don't use excess force, they need to be released slightly forward and to the side.

 

Two hitch shops in Burnaby indicate they can do I5 hitch. E&H Hitch manufacture their own in 2” or 1.25” for $750 installed. Burnaby Hitch indicated a range for the part and install that was in the same range, but did not appear to have an immediate solution.

 

I'm also in Burnaby, thanks for the info!

 

Hi. Burnaby hitch has good pricing as I bought roof rack from them. In the case of the trailer hitch Burnaby hitch is providing the stealth hitch at similar prices $800 plus to Hyundai dealers except Hyundai is not stealth and not original and will not work with Ioniq 5 menu as no wiring harness I know about. Cutting out is necessary and it's imported from Washington State by Rack Attack.

 

Sorry but to correct my previous post: Burnaby Hitch got me the Thule Roof Box but hitch I am seeking for Ioniq 5 is being quoted at 400 plus Canadian Dollars install and cost of hitch so close to a 1000 formula including tax.

 

Any indication on when they expect to get the stealth hitch? I put my name down directly with Stealth but perhaps is better to go through someone like burnaby or rack stop....

 

BCKEV, Thanks so much for the information.
Do i understand that right, is the position of the 3 slots like in the picture?

 

That’s the spot!

 

And you need to go in for release the clips from the upside, under the rear lights?

 

At the bottom, I unhooked the clip first. Then I wedged a plastic trim tool in from the top. You’ll have to release the clips from the side - in between the bumper cover and the metal body panel. I essentially used a small flat head screwdriver to lift the bumper slots over the bracket. I don’t think it’s possible to just ‘pull’ off the cover.

 

should a reasonably handy person be able to install this hitch with the instructions and some basic tools or does it require previous hitch installation experience?

 

It is possible but I would not risk it.
I got mine done by Hyundai Boundary in Vancouver

 

Hi all, hitch set-up here on SSG I5: Torklift 2” hitch + 1UP bike trays (2, expands +1 and + 1).
