Finally got it. Sadly the setup to get him is long and convoluted so I'll have to describe it here.

Have the Chocobo unlocked.
Ch.4, take the first ride to Coernix with Ardyn.
Don't talk to him after the trailer stop, but take the car and park it outside the Blockade before the Disc of Cauthess.
Go to Balouve Mines, get the Return to Entrance glitch set-up.
Go to Longwhythe, sleep at the hotel, do the Infinite Fall glitch (in earlier videos), Return to Car to get No Collision.
Walk around and through the barrier, such that the dungeon map doesn't appear. Call Car once you are close to the road.
Return to Entrance so you are back to Infinite Fall state.
Photo Pause to move towards the bench, Sit. Collision now returns.
Return to Car, get the Royal Arm, Return to Entrance before the cutscene plays.
Chocobo ride back to Coernix, speak with Ardyn, he begins to drive, but you no longer have a car.
Turn back and make your way to Old Lestallum (not strictly mandatory, but that's what I did). Make a Save and Reload, this returns your car to the map.
Tow Car, now set up the Customize Menu glitch.

Once ready, head Northward close to the Fort, on the dirt road. Just before the end of the second small fence*, when you see the game try to reload the Ardyn driving scene, select Order Cuztomization, and you will be returned to Hammerhead infinite falling, which will then put you above ground, with Ardyn in the party.

*There is a large ring on the map that re-triggers the Ardyn Drive scene [here are the spots I've found the triggers on the roads: https://imgur.com/a/vrEKLNY ], so this is possible in other area, but incredibly precise to avoid a softlock (ie. if you are stuck in the car after Order, you cannot move or drive). Save and now you'll have Ardyn once you Reload. Note, additional party members (Iris/Aranea/Cor will kick him out permanently).

As usual, thanks to フィルン for the inspiration!
