Hyundai is offering a paid security upgrade for Ioniq 5 owners in the UK to address vulnerabilities exploited by thieves using handheld devices. The upgrade, priced at £49 ($65), includes hardware and software improvements designed to prevent unauthorized access and theft. This comes after Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis EVs have been targeted using sophisticated devices that bypass the keyless entry system. Hyundai promises the upgrade will mitigate "evolving security threats" affecting the Ioniq 5 and other models.
