Hey Team, last week was the first ever DreamSiphon design livestream! We worked through the key fob together and landed on this direction. Excited to hear what you think but I am in love 😏🩵

I initially leaned toward Elantra and Kona for inspiration, but someone in the chat mentioned Veloster and honestly, that was the move. We grabbed inspiration from the Veloster grille and lower bumper sections and I personally see it instantly.

This is a full key fob body redesign like the Calibré, but this time I’m planning to make the button section modular. That way it works with 3, 4, and 5-button prefacelift keys.

Next step is engineering and getting a 3D model finalized so I can lock in an accurate quote. If things stay on track, I’m aiming for a release around Black Friday 2026.

Where is the Facelift “Calibré” Fob?
May 1st we’re officially soft-launching the Calibré key fob as an ultra-limited run! That means it's a buy now, ships in August structure, cancel anytime. I am due production prototypes around May 15th so there will be more real life images of the Calibré to lust over.

If you backed the Indiegogo, you’ll have a discount available throughout May 😁

I’m planning to keep doing more livestreams and sharing the process with you guys. It helps me stay focused, and honestly this is the most fun part, building it with you. I've met so many other designers, engineers, and those who aspire to be.

Can’t wait to get these into your hands 🤘🏽

Hey everyone,

Neotech is holding a Tech Session at AT230 Cars and Coffee on May 9, and we wanted to open it up to anyone who has questions about their setup.

You don’t need to be running Neotech parts. Our product designer will be there to answer questions and help people better understand their suspension, brake setup, damping, ride height, fitment issues, or anything else they’re trying to dial in.

If your car feels too bouncy, too stiff, unstable, rubbing, not sitting right, or you’re just unsure what direction to go with your setup, feel free to come by and ask.

We’re mainly hoping to make this a helpful community thing where people can get real feedback on their cars and setups.

DATE: May 9 — AT230 Cars and Coffee
TIME: From 10:30 A.M.

RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn5ey3iAU58QydyRs0sL27JgmOhrC_OCayODHgjUqoTbBZ8w/viewform?usp=header

Just bought my FL5. Coming from a Veloster N

Hey guys, running into a weird CarPlay issue on my 2022 Veloster N and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this.

Problem:

Apple CarPlay won’t connect with my iPhone 17 Pro (USB-C). The car detects something (“Reading USB”), then shows “Phone not responding.”

What’s confusing:

My phone charges normally

Bluetooth audio works fine

But CarPlay just won’t start

Troubleshooting I’ve already done:

Tried multiple cables (including a new Belkin USB-A → USB-C 1m)

Reset infotainment (pinhole reset)

Removed and re-added CarPlay / Bluetooth

Restarted phone

Tested my old iPhone (Lightning) in my Veloster → CarPlay works perfectly

So far it seems like:

Not a cable issue

Not the car

Not a dead USB port on the phone

Almost feels like a USB-C iPhone ↔ older CarPlay system compatibility issue?

Questions:

Anyone with a Veloster / Elantra run into this with newer USB-C iPhones?

Any fix for wired CarPlay?

Or did you end up just going wireless adapter?

Appreciate any insight 🙏

Not easy to fit and was a lot of work. Even then, rears are still poking out. Front camber is maxed out to probably -5 degrees. I don't care about it rubbing. Just getting things ready for the autox season.
