Did you try the other Fob that came with the car?

Yes. Both fob’s do not work…..

Had the AC running yesterday and halfway home the temp gauge started climbing.
I turned the AC off and the gauge went down to just above normal.
Popped the hood at home and fan was running and no hissing leaking sounds
Any thoughts/advice?
2013 Sedan 3.8l v6

Not enough information
How far did the gauge move? Was it near overheating or just a bit above?
With temperature on the road 95+ and heavy solar load, the AC is working hard and moving that heat to the radiator that cools the engine. Not unusual for it to be hotter.

If it was extreme and near overheating, I'd check the cooling system. Has it ever been flushed and coolant changed?

Hello everyone:

Please stay hydrated!

So the other day, heading back to the castle after a full morning of passing the pundits and errands, I came up behind a gray 5.0.

She looked like she could use a little TLC, maybe starting simply with a good wash. Then it hit me; this car had Hyundai badging, not Genesis. I’d never seen this before. Is this common? I’m guessing it’s a real early 2015, as my 2015 doesn’t have these badges.

Do tell.

Thank you.

Best.

Genesis did not become a car brand until November 2015, anything before that was a model of a Hyundai so yes, Hyundai badges. That is what my 2015 had.

As for the pop ups, easily eliminated. Become a paying member for as little as $20 a year. Someone has to pay for the servers, software, etc. Click the drop down "Help us Help You"

Your 2015 most certainly came from the factory badged as a Hyundai Genesis Sedan. The Genesis brand only started in 2017. Until then, they (at least in the US) were all came with Hyundai badges. It is a popular thing with the 2015s and 2016s for people to order and swap the Genesis badges once those became available.

I need help, in more ways than one, but I'll limit it to my car.

Does anybody know how to completely turn off the speed camera warning?

Every time I come home from my daughter's, I go through a school zone where the normal speed is 25 mph. There is a speed camera installed. During school hours the speed drops to 20 mph. The car sees the 20 mph and doesn't care if it's midnight, the weekend, or summer break; it thinks the speed limit is 20 mph, not 25. So when I drive 25, I have to listen to that #!**!@! warning bong for the better part of a minute until I pass the camera.

Please help me. Anybody? Anybody? Beuller?

I am familiar with this as well. I think it only happens when in the native navigation screen. Would you confirm that you are in native navigation when this occurs.
I use AA and Waze 99% of the time and don't get the chime when using Waze.

Don't have to be using native navigation for the sound to occur. But maybe be outside of carplay or Android Auto, would make sense

Nope. We are almost always using Apple CarPlay and looking at Google Maps.

Yes, but turning down the audio in native nav silences the camera alerts. It still changes the color of my speedometer to highlight the warning but isn't yapping at me.

I would still love to hear the answer to the original question. I couldn't find it and am only offering the compromise that I found. It works, but isn't optimal.

I think I may have figured out how to do it, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Went into Setup... Sound Settings... Guidance... Guidance Volumes... and set the Alert Volume to zero.

We'll see if it works.

Had a chance to try it today. It worked!

Got the red speed warning (incorrectly) but no audible alerts.

You can do this on the fly in the Map/Navigation screen, too... I believe you tilt/push the 'rotating-dial' away from you/towards the screen, brings up a UI on the bottom of the screen... alert volume, guidance volume, etc can be changed there

Ordered 2 1/2 weeks ago. Got a tracking number 10 days ago. Finally arrived today. After the delays and shipping, and back-and-forth on whether it was completed or not, I finally got my product. Installed as easy as the video shows. Took me about 35 minutes in the Texas heat. Works like a charm.

Glad to hear this... thank you for sharing!

Will this work for 2022 g90? Same generation, just got a facelift. Key fob looks the same.

Hi guys, I have a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3 T with 68,000 miles on it. For the last week or so I have noticed a coolant smell after a drive. The coolant reservoir is only slightly low. I wasn’t too worried about that because I had to add a touch of coolant to it last summer. Today I was driving normally when the warning light came on saying the engine was overheating and the temperature gauge was almost to the red so I pulled over and I put my hand in front of the radiator and it was blowing cool air against my hand like it wasn’t circulating the coolant properly. Right before the warning came on I noticed the air conditioner stopped blowing cold. So I had the car towed home. I’ve looked over the engine, and I cannot see any drips anywhere. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like you have fluid, so that is not the problem. I'd start with the thermostat, possibly not opening problem.

I'm assuming you see the belts and water pump is turning, but there could be other problems with it. Less likely is a hose collapsing.

Yeah I agree not a fluid problem. I’ve thought about the thermostat but it seems like most get a code with that and I have no codes. I’ve also considered that the impeller might have come off the water pump. I’m going to try and take the serpentine belt off and manually turn the pump to see if I can feel anything. Thanks for the reply and let me know if you think of anything else.

Stuck thermostat won't usually throw a code. Happened on both my 2 previous Gennies. First was actually stuck OPEN, so no heat in the winter. Second stuck closed and caused overheating.

That's for failures of the electric heat coil in the thermostat that allows the PCM some control over thermostat temperature, not for failures of the thermostat to open/close.

If you smell coolant, you have a leak. They can be small enough where it evaporates on a hot surface before it hits the ground. Check the cooling system for leaks by running a pressure test on the cooling system when the engine is cold.

A leak will cause your system to not hold the proper pressure which can lead to overheating.

As the subject says - getting attached messages after manually updating (May maps/update) the car. I let the Maps/MM OTA expire, b/c I don't mind doing this manually and I see little value in paying for it - but NOW, with this latest update, it seems to indicate that it uses online only and falls back to off-line maps only for connectivity issues... and even though (I checked) the Map OTA subscription doesn't say anything about this feature, I'm wondering - anyone else see these msgs? Or, am I the only one who let the Maps OTA subscription lapse? I _did_ dbl-check with the USB, says it's the same version as to what I have.

I read that the new version sources from Google in real time.

Right - that is why I'm suspecting the map OTA subscription right now be a requirement, but so far customer support says no

Solved, seemingly. I had three phone calls, two different divisions of maps and one with Genesis connected services. Everybody said that the Map OTA subscription is not required, even the release notes indicate the other subscription services. I even reinstalled the May update, with no change in behavior

But once I repurchased the Map OTA subscription, the air went away, it seemingly downloaded another update, and now everything is hunky-dory. Honestly this is what I suspected the entire time. Documented here in case anyone else encounters this

I prefer the integrated screen in the dash like in my 2015 Genesis and my 2020 G90. Seems like more thought was put into the design. Let's face it, screens are a cost saving measure. Saves on a lot of materials by replacing buttons, gauges, wiring with a screen. At least some manufacturers are getting the message and putting the most commonly used buttons back in their new cars...

While we're at it, bring back analog gauge clusters on higher end cars. Doesn't look like they belong. It's like looking at a digital Rolex... it's not right... lol

I went with an older G70 just to stay away from some the digital controls.

My mom wanted a GV70 or GV80 but refused to buy one with the screen.

If this digital cockpit trend continues there probably won't be a used car market at some point....We all know that screen will suck in 5-7 years.

@SuperKing is hitting the nail right on the head here. These big 27" panoramic displays are a cost saving measure masquerading as cutting edge luxury.

It's way cheaper for a manufacturer to source one big glass panel from an electronics supplier than it is to design, wire, and fit a beautifully integrated dashboard with physical analog clusters, custom bezels, and hidden vents.

But to @MrMegadeth’s point about the used market... what choice do we actually have moving forward? If you don't like the big screens, where do you go? BMW has the giant curved iDrive display, Mercedes has the massive Hyperscreen, and Audi is doing the triple screen setup.

At least Genesis had the decency to leave us a physical rotary wheel and dedicated knobs for the climate control so we aren't crashing into a ditch trying to adjust the AC. It might look a bit like a digital Rolex, but compared to what Tesla or Rivian are doing by stripping every single button out of the cabin, the Genesis setup feels like a reasonable compromise between 2026 tech and traditional usability.

I remember being an a mall that had a Tesla dealer around 2020, and when I looked inside the car and saw one big squarish screen and very little else, I said to my self, "I don't think I can own a car with a bland dashboard like that". That being said, the newer Genesis dash looks a lot better than the 2020ish Tesla did. I could probably get used to it in a short period of time.
Different strokes for different folks, but I like a dash with a lot of gauges and dials. Some new cars use all dials and some use the screen, but I like the 2021 Genesis because you can control a lot of stuff with dials and with the screen. Your choice.....The best of both worlds.

I’d be interested in seeing that cost comparison, if you have it available.
