    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.

Hi Everyone,

Just picked up a used Genesis here in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada two weeks ago; really impressed with the car (traded in a 2010 Mercedes ML350 diesel - night and day difference in comfort/features/quietness etc etc etc....)

Discovered an undocumented feature for my car....remote start using the Hyundai key fob;

Accidently hit the lock button on fob 3 times and mirrors folded out, daytime led's flashed then car started up;

I then got into the car and had to put it in drive then back into park to have the start/stop button turn off engine;

I then got out, locked the car with one lock press...waited 30 seconds then did the 3 lock presses again and car started again;

I got in and this time I put my foot on brake peddle and car engine shut down;

Did some searching online and found the following link to a electronic module made by Fortin that has the "3 lock" start feature.....maybe this car has this;


Anyway I'm a bit surprised that this is not documented anywhere and I have not talked to Hyundai dealer yet (Plan on getting recommended maintenance interval servicing done in a few weeks.....car has 79500 km on it at the moment;)

More to follow when I get more information....

Not sure if undocumented. Sounds like a typical aftermarket remote. Previous owner may have installed it. In any case, nice to have.

Thanks.....the dealer (not Hyundai) I purchased from had very little info on previous two owners....It does have a Hyundai extended bumper to bumper warranty till Oct 2020 or 120000k which the local Hyundai dealer transferred over for me; :)

Canadian dealers have a factory remote start available. I called a dealer in the Toronto area awhile back and it's available for around $450 Canadian.
