  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Apple Store. v 2.8.66
Lock, Unlock, and Start all on the opening screen

User reviews are far higher than several months ago when they were in the 2.x range (out of 5). Currently 4.2 stars with 1.6k respondents so I assume this is just for the recent update.
Edit: I just scrolled through the reviews by date and my comment about most recent reviews is not correct. Also after skimming the first 100 reviews I have no idea how a cumulative 4.2 is possible. MANY 1 or 2 stars

No big surprises. Still no rear defroster start or seats and steering wheel.
 
yeah great and now it's back to not being able to locate my car, still shows it at the dealership when I was there 3 months ago and the double tap option to update is gone.
 
I can't get the app to work for remote start or doors lock/unlock. The people at connection services have been no help to date. Just purchased vehicle last week and signed up for the services. Frustrated about the whole process. My last car had the remote start on the FOB where it should be.

Hang in there. Several here had issues at the very first when we bought the car and they got straighten out. Connection services can at least confirm modem and cell functionality. I’ve not driven much or been physically to work in two weeks so have not used the app lately. Seems each time they update it, something will give me problems. The quick start feature when it was added did not work for me, it eventually corrected itself somehow and started working.

Did you remember to clear that location before re-querying? Did it ask for you PIN?

yes of course. it can't find my car, it thinks it is 30 miles away even after entering the PIN
 
Found my car at a new location correctly.
 
So I moved my car out of my driveway onto the street to wash it and decided to try again. It finally updated.

my guess here is the car hasn’t been started in 3 weeks so the LTE module was asleep.

I think the cell system does go to sleep after a period. When I first got my G70 and had connection issues and needed to call connection services, they mentioned for those who leave their car at the airport for extended periods, everything goes into low power mode and cell service gets into a sleep mode.

4 days is my guess. Reason: you aren't allowed to remote start if you haven't started the car with the key in 4 days.
I believe you are correct
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
I'm glad the icons line up now. Before, the two icons were slightly off center from each other. Kept triggering my OCD. 😜

The new rev for Android looks good.
