Blue Link--What is your experience?

[Daves1015]

I've had my 3.8 2015 with Tech for about two week now and I am not impressed with Blue Links remote features envolked by using the Genesis application on my iPhone 5s. Last week I could remotely start the car but it refused to shut off at the 4 minute time I set. Yesterday, I could not get remote start to work or remote lock/unlock. Users should note that when using the Genesis application on your iPhone for a remote command, the app will say something like "success". All that means is that BlueLink got the request and not that it actually worked. I did subsequently get an automated e-mail that said "Remote service is currently unavailable. Your request for REMOTE START on 07/28/2014 04:49 pm US/Eastern was not processed. Please try again later." That is kind of proof that the touted service is buggy.

I've used it about 20 times with no issues yet.

Use it every very hot or very cold day to start the car when I get off the train. Have smoke and when finished walk to a nicely warm or chilling car.

Too clumsy and slow. I'd much rather have it on my fob.

The remote start feature seems pretty useful and reliable, but the current status feature almost never works and they've yet to integrate several of the advertised features that were advertised months ago. Also -1 across the board for having to sign up for a trial of guidance and not being able to cancel it without calling.

For me the fob would be nearly useless. I won't run mine unless I'm going to run it for several minutes to cool it off or heat it up and parking at work is outside the range of fob-based units in my experience. I don't have any use for starting it up at short range because it can't run long enough to be meaningful from work and at home it's garaged.

Same here and also why the short-range FOB is of less use to me.
