2012 Genesis Sedan with Teck Pkg

[bluesnoop]

Just picked up a 2012 Genesis with Tech Package. My question is: Is it possible to stream music over bluetooth in this car. Haven't been able to figure out how. I tried a usb connection but is doesn't like my IPhone 5s.

If you have a 2012 Genesis, the you might want to change your information about what car you own, since you don't have a 2G Genesis (2nd Generation started with 2015 Genesis).

I don't know about Bluetooth (that may have come later), but did you try a Hyundai iPod cable to play music from your phone?

Bluetooth music streaming wasn't available until 2013 and forward. Try using a Hyundai audio cable. It has to plug into the USB and the audio jack in order to work. You can also find them on eBay for less than a dealer.

Btw - you might also find an older iPod or iPhone 4 on eBay and just load it with music and leave it in the center console plugged in all of the time.

Actually, BT audio streaming comes standard with the '12 Base and the Premium package models. It's only the '12 Tech package that lacks this feature. Just one of the many reasons why I didn't buy the Tech model.

The OP has a Tech model and was asking specifically about the Tech model.

Lots of other folks read these threads. A comprehensive view of any subject is always best.

Yes and No. You'll need one of these:

Mine lives in the center console, and plugs into the Aux port. I don't know about Iphones, but Android can have more than one BT connection open at a time. You just tell it which is phone and which is streaming audio. So my phone connects to the built-in BT for the phone, and the Kinivo BT for music. All automatic, no touch.

Volume, of course. Nothing else.

I have both tech and premium packages, and I was not able to get it to work. Am I missing something?
