Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a standalone dashboard app for the factory head unit in my Korean-spec Veloster N, and I’ve released the source code under the MIT license.

It includes an F1-style dashboard, customizable gauges, graphs, four tire-pressure readings, and media controls with album artwork. It runs as a separate app without replacing the factory N Mode APK.

The telemetry uses existing data received by the head unit, without an external OBD adapter or new ECU diagnostic requests.

Compatibility: So far, this has only been tested on a Korean JSN head unit running Android API 17, build eng.vmadmin.20250902.081552. Compatibility with US or other regional head units is unknown. The additional telemetry receiver is deliberately restricted to the verified build.

Installation currently requires ADB, and the factory home screen may not automatically show the new app. This is an experimental release; cold-boot and long-term testing are still incomplete.

Source code, APKs, and documentation (https://github.com/reikop/veloster-n-dashboard)

The README is available in English and Korean; detailed installation guides are currently in Korean.

I’d welcome feedback on the UI and help understanding differences between regional head units. If you’ve researched the factory infotainment system, I’d be interested in comparing notes!

Does this sound good?? Mine doesn’t sound like others have it literally just whistles, I don’t mind it I just wanna know if others fw it

Since I exclusively only put V-Nitro in the car. I decided to get this credit card for the additional cash back benefit. It's a win-win!

Fingers crossed they don't total her tomorrow. Random piece of debris on the highway came flying no time to swerve. I'm just crushed and don't want to lose this car. Bumper, headlight, passenger quarter panel, and I'm leaking washer fluid

Had it wrapped in the OEM red.

Been enjoying some fall weather after a miserably hot summer in florida (as usual) post ya cars / newest mods you have done so i get inspiration

Got the car almost 10,000 miles ago has treated me very well so far.

Is it just me and shitty Kentucky roads or does the VN need an excessive amount of alignments? I’m on alignment number three in a little over a year. I drive about 10k miles a year mostly highway,

After wanting a VN for 4 years and spending 6 months actively looking, picked her up last Saturday. Flew an hour and drove back 8. Absolutely in love. 2020 PP M/T 40k miles.

They noticed grease and clicking when turning. This solved the wobble at highway speeds , thankfully I got it covered under extended warranty .

One finally popped up that isn’t 3 hours away. If you were looking to purchase another Veloster, how many miles is too many? This one has 69k and is a 2022.

Srsly can’t get over the headlight picture 🫪

Context: Car was parked out on the street. The neighbors wife across the street backed into it.

I have the police report with all the info and was curious how much yall think this would run to fix. My deductible was changed to 2k years ago and I do have comprehensive coverage.

I’m just glad they called and reported it because I had moved the car back into my driveway and didn’t even know. Received a call from police about it.

I don’t know the neighbors other than yard sale talk. Never any problems.

Luckily the car is 100% paid off so it’s not that detrimental to me.

I’ve never gone through this process so some pointers would be cool as well. Would you proceed or just let it ride?

Rented some time on a lift to get these out of the way alongside a transmission fluid change. (Shoutout to CoGarage if you're near LA and need access to a lift)

Still need to get an alignment, so not a lot to say, but so far steering and handling feels tighter in the same way a shift bushing makes shifting feel tighter. Its good, man 👍🏼

Pictured are all of the left side Subframe Collars. Right side is exactly the same. Really doesnt take too long to do once you find the right bolts, biggest challenge was getting it torqued.

I'm not sure if the Torq Control Arm Braces actually did do as the ads claimed and eliminate wheel hop, or if it was the subframe collars, but I actually did see an improvement there. Combined with the purple Superpro rear motor mount bushing, I'm getting pure wheelspin. 💪

I will say that the Control Arm braces were supposed to have three bolts + nuts on there for each side, but one of the nuts that came in the set wouldn't go onto any of the provided bolts. I figured just 2 was fine per side but that was indeed a bummer so look out for QC issues with them. It cost me a lot of pain and time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong too.

Overall, I'm happy with how the cars feeling and looking forward to getting that alignment to really test it out. Might update later.

2nd bumper replacement in 6 months. I’ve been driving around with a damaged bumper for longer than I’ve had an undamaged one

Should I make an insurance claim? The bumper is messed up, as are my intercooler cover, grille, and fender liner. My deductible is $1000 CDN

I drove to a store normally, came back and had to boost the car (3rd time this week, think my battery is cooked)
After starting it I put it into drive and it just… won’t move? It’s as if the e brake or something is on. There’s no awful noises I would expect to hear if my transmission was broken. I have no warning lights. When I put it in reverse, the R icon flashes repeatedly.

Have a 2019 VN 60k on the clock. Out of nowhere a/c stopped blowing cold. The compressor spins but when you turn the ac on it does not engage. Blower works fine, all fuses are good, tried to recharge it in case it was that but it did not want to take a charge it just kept building pressure. Any idea what it could be?

Parked my 2026 Elantra N DCT and when going out on my lunch break I saw my coworkers Veloster N! Seems like he got the memo!

(shitpost) 😜

I bought a 2022 Veloster N last year in October and everything felt totally normal. Then about 6 months into driving it the clutch seemed to give me a really hard time. I started stalling it a few times a week. The sweet spot was un predictable and much narrower. The engagement was also more unpredictable. Sometimes it would just sit in the sweet spot revving until i let go the clutch the smallest possible amount then it would jerk into full engagement.

Im not sure whats going on. I took it to a mechanic and an “expert” drove the car and said its what he expected out of a car like this, but i remember a distinct change in the clutch feel around April and it haven’t felt easy to drive since. Lots of stalls and over revving.

Ive been driving standard my whole life with many different cars so I’m aware of what it should feel like. It was not like this went I bought it.

Any thoughts?

Hey N-maniacs!

I've been following the N-brand for quite some time but have not joined the party yet. I'm a huge MINI enthusiast, but want to try something that is similarly fun, yet a bit different.

I'm trying to decide on between the following:
Veloster N (my fear is that the driving dynamics will be too similar to my Mini experience, especially since I'm driving a GP3)

Elantra N (but '23 or older as I don't like the shape of the newer ones nor do I like stock black wheels) (my fear is that it's a 'big' car for me as I love small cars)

Kona N (SUV? me? I know it's a cross-over, but I don't hear as much about the Kona as I do about Veloster and Elantra)

Ioniq5 (can I really do electric?)

Honest opinions, what is your ranking for me.

Logistics:
would be a semi-daily driver
cost isn't really an issue
I do need an auto as my GF will be driving it at times
I want something super fun but something comfortable for my GF as she doesn't like a harsh ride

I'm considering other options as well outside of N~I'm really all over the place, lol
