For your situation, I'd suggest looking at the VIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K Dual Dash Cam. I've been there with the 12V drain anxiety, and honestly, spending $500+ on a dedicated battery pack feels like overkill when you're already paying for a premium EV. I actually had some issues with more expensive setups in the past not being as good as expected for the price.

Instead, I recommend grabbing the VIOFO HK3 ACC Hardwire Kit for about $15. It has an adjustable voltage cutoff that'll protect your Ioniq 5's 12V battery without breaking the bank. It's a much more cost-effective way to get that 4K quality and reliable parking mode. To keep that minimalist look, just tuck the wires behind the headliner and A-pillar—it’s actually pretty DIY-friendly! Anyway, back to your question, this setup usually runs under $250 total if you catch a sale, which is a steal for 4K. Hope this helps!

For your situation, I’d grab the FitcamX 4K Dash Cam for Hyundai Ioniq 5. It looks totally factory-installed and avoids 12V drain by using the rain sensor power. Seriously clean setup, tbh.

> I’m a bit worried about the 12V battery drain issues I’ve read about online.

I went through this last year. Honestly, I was super paranoid about the 12V drain too, so I skipped the hardwire and chose a dedicated battery pack setup. I paired the Blackvue DR970X-2CH Plus 4K Dash Cam with a Blackvue Power Magic Ultra Battery B-130X. It’s been great! No battery warnings at all, and the 4K quality is really sharp. Totally worth the extra peace of mind IMO.
