  • 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.

Currently owns 2018 Genesis G80 3.8 and I have been experiencing a Navigation/Radio Head unit freeze/reset issue (see attached video). I've had this issue shortly after I owned it and within the span of 1 year, I've probably noticed this issue more than 20+ times all happening randomly. On several occasions, I've taken the videos of the issue and took it over to the dealer and show the video but only to be told that they were not able to duplicate the issue. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the similar issue.

Update: The dealer replaced the head unit with a "remanufactured" system and even after that I was still experiencing the same issue.

I had a similar issue with mine 8" AVN 4.5 system when it was new. Freezes, and reboots... sometimes I could get it working again my resetting via the recessed button.
After replacement it was fine. I had a couple of times it got wonky, but a reset solved it. It only happened 4-5 times in the last 3 years after the replacement. If your's is still acting up.. make 'em swap it again.

My issue ( 2019 G80) 2seems to be the route the nav sys.wants to take me is not the shortest or quickest and it often tries to avoid interstates /faster highways . My settings are set NOT to avoid toll roads or interstates and to go the fastest route even not the shortest .
