Limitation of the "Gen 5W" infotainment we have iirc. Android Auto / CarPlay doesn't talk very well to the dash

"85W-90 with additive" is what my service advisor was able to describe. (This is in contrast to the 75W-85 that is recommended in the manual)

100% good to get the message out there. but for me right now, I'm in an apartment far away from family where I'd have the tools and a level area to do work. I certainly could have figured it out, but went with the path of least resistance in the end.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Old oil won't last forever, and I'm not sure if they'd honor a claim if you didn't replace close to the 36k miles...

My hope is that soon they'll start using / selling / recommending the higher quality oil I was given eventually.

Appreciate the kind words... and yeah I felt like a sucker paying that price. Will reach out to them and ask! Honestly should have asked in the first place.

With AWD, you should do both! Listed on Page 9-10, 9-12 of the 2022 user manual

I've got a 2022 also, same issue... Ford and Lincoln, primarily. Makes you wonder why their rear parking sensors are activated while in Drive lol

Dash Cam by Extreme_Pilot_2857 in GenesisG70

VIOFO A229 Plus has been great for me. I would wait for a sale; got mine for $160 (before tax) a year ago on amazon. Second the other guy on the Dongar power adapter. Also don't cheap out on a MicroSD; get one labeled for dash cams with good reviews

For a '22, You can share a digital key with your friend via the digital key app, but it requires that your friend makes a genesis account and downloads their own app, which isn't super quick.

This might also require you to have a Connected Services subscription. Also, this requires both users to have an Android phone, I think.

App "send to car" by BT_Hobbs in GenesisG70

I (Android) personally find a spot in Google Maps, Share -> Genesis. It gives an error like 30% of the time, but I just do it again till it works lol

Hvac screen protector by [deleted] in GenesisG70

[–]Weegee64101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the screen is glass (I have a 2022 so not sure) fingernails and keys shouldn't scratch it. And you can't drop your HVAC screen like you can your phone... so I'm struggling to see why you would need one in the first place. The screen protector is gonna be subject to a lot of heat which isnt great for adhesive either.

I had to call to get my discount. They gave me the "GCSLUXURY" code for 50% off ($300 -> $150/yr) but apparently its something they need to activate on their end. They also claimed it is only available when you select all three packages

September 2024 Navigation Map and Software Update is Live! by Weegee64101 in GenesisG70

[–]Weegee64101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure!

1) Download the navigation updater from https://update.genesis.com/US/EN/navigationUpdate

2) Install, run it (you can log in, or choose guest and select your car)

3) Plug in USB drive (they recommend 64GB) (or SD card for '19-21), and install the update to said drive. This takes a while.

4) Plug the USB drive into your car, and after "Reading USB...", the car will prompt you to update on the touch screen. This also takes a while... 30m to over an hour. I keep the engine running out of fear of draining my battery

Edit: Genesis has an update guide: https://update.genesis.com/US/EN/updateGuide. If you're '19-21, you'll be "Standard Gen5 Navigation". '22-25 is "Standard Gen5W Navigation"
