    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.

I've had my new 2012 v6 with tech/prem package for a week now and have a few questions/comments I'd like some feedback on. the first two are my biggest concern.

1) Yesterday, I started the car, and the DIS stayed on the Genesis splash screen for the longest time, then seemed to 'reboot' itself and started. Anyone seen this? anything to be concerned about?

2) Since then, I have noticed a message (maybe always like this, not sure) that when I tried to use voice commands soon after starting up (say within the first 3 minutes) I gets a message that says something similar to SDS synchronization is taking place, try your request later. Anyone seen this? is it normal?

3) Is it just me, or is the sunglass compartment, just too darn small. I don't have large glasses but it does not seem easy to take them in and out. I guess this is more of a comment than a question

4) Any way to set preferences in NAV to shortest distance vs quickest time?

5) any way to have NAV show time of arrival (i.e 8:30pm) instead of just the amount of time left to arrival? (I have tons of nav 'complaints', but that topic has been dicusses elsewhere, so I will leave it at that.

6) any way to search POI from voice by name?

7) I had an issue when I picked up my car, with some sort of paint overspray over the entire car. only way it would come off was by the dealer buffing it, but they had to buff/wax it twice. should I be concerned? could they have worn off the clearcoat? Dealer ensured me they use some 3 step process in buffing to prevent this. I don't know much about paint and finishes, so I had to take their word for it. It looked fine once they were all done, just concerned about later if swirl marks will show once the wax wears off or something.

8) XM - my old standalone xm (sirius actually) had an artist alert - does the genny xm have this? If so, I couldn't find it

9) it seems that I can pair multiple bluetooth phones to my car, and even set which one is default, BUT it seems I can only have one connected at one time - is this correct? what I was hoping to do is have both my phone and my wife's connected so that if EITHER one of us got a call, the car would answer it (and I figured the default would be for which phone to use for outgoing calls) - but it doesn't seem to be working that way as it is only allowing me to have one phone 'connected' at a time. am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is? and if so, then what is the 'default' indicator really used for?

Thanks
Brian
 
1. You have a brand new car. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Have never seen what you described.

2. Have seen the synchronization message, perfectly normal and probably loading your phone book and or paring to your phone.

3. Probably just you. I have no issues taking out my sunglasses putting my regular glasses away and then switching back. If anything the compartment is too big! I have had my sunglasses rattle up there no much room for them to jiggle around

4. Don't know - haven't played much with the Nav but they gave me a very complete user manual to read.

5. See #4

6. I did look through the voice commands - POI search is not a voice command.

7. What are we talking about here? Actual paint over spray - like a whole different color..actual paint spatter over spray? Some cars are shipped with a protective coating sprayed over them - don't know about Hyundai. If it was actual paint over spray - I would have probably rejected that car or gotten something in return. That said, probably nothing to be concerned with. Is this a black car? You are going to see swirl marks on a balck car not matter what...you will see everything on a black car. Black cars are very unforgiving reflections.

8. Don't see anything in the menu.

9. Default if checked - the car will only connect with that phone. Pretty sure if you uncheck that it will connect to both phones. Try this out and let us know...
 
1. I have had this problem a couple of times. The Hyundai logo stays on and it looks like it is rebooting a couple of times. I have tried to restart the car but the best thing to d is wait about 3 minutes and then everything is fine.

9. Your car can connect to only 1 phone at a time. Otherwise what woudl happen if you were talking on phone 1 and then phone 2 rings... a mess!!!
