Wanted to share with anyone looking to install this on a 2025+ GV80, as I just finished the install.
Backstory: Had two of these modules for our previous 19 Stinger and 21 Telluride, so was already familiar with these. Was hoping to reuse one of those in the new car by off chance it would work, but that wasn't the case, so ordered 2 new modules from Shark for our 25 GV80 and G80.
Anyone not wanting to have to deal with splicing into the vehicle's wiring, I did find a very nice alternative. There is a seller on Etsy that has created a prebuilt cable that will tie into the OEM Factory Trailer plug that is already installed at the rear of the car, underneath the floor of the trunk, to the left of the battery. This allows you to just simply 'plug and play' the device. This seller also sells the Auto Lock module, if you would like to just purchase everything from him. He also has very nice instructions that are much more informative than Shark's "4 pictures of plugs where you can tap into" that comes with the modules.
Link to Ioniq Guy's store:
21-24
25+
Talking with the seller, he recommended the EV9 option in his store, as the plugs were the same. If you want to get both the module and plug for the 2025+ may want to contact him before ordering. I did let him know that it worked just fine, so I'm assuming he'll be updating his shop soon.
Installation instructions: (I'll attach to this post)
These were currently labeled for 21-24, but everything was pretty much the same for my 25.
For those that don't care about the easy to use plug, or already has a trailer harness installed with a hitch, tapping into that trailer harness plug is much easier than having to dealing with the wires behind the driver's foot panel. I'd highly recommend using some of these wire taps, as traditional ones aren't nearly as easy to use, and don't require a crimper.
