Next week, I pick up my 2025 GV80 Coupe here in Canada. If anyone here in Canada has the new Coupe and has updated the software so it now has Wireless Carplay please let me know if they have installed it and some of the features. I understand that in USA this update came by way of OTA but in Canada we do not have this feature. Also If anyone did the update in Canada to wireless, is Waze nav can be displayed the HUD.
An update, I picked up my 2025 GV80 Coupe 3.5T with E-SC, 3 days ago. The dealer had updated the software that morning (Genesis Canada) supplied them with new software and now have
Wireless Carplay. Here in Canada we have never had OTA updates BUT when I was going through all the menus, just playing around, I saw a menu item called "OTA". Don't ask me where I found it, but there is now a title called "OTA".
Interesting new 27 inch screen and software, it will definitely take some time to completely understand if ever. One interesting setting and I don't necessarily use or need it, I can have Apple Maps in the background on the left (drivers side) of the screen, and Genesis maps on the right side, again just fooling around.
Something I have to get use to, on the steering
wheel, all the buttons that were left side (channel changing /volume /mute etc) are now on the right side. On my old GV80 (2021) the cruise control was on the right side, now on the left side, something very small but sometimes taxes my old brain.
If you thought the GV80 (2021-2024) had a lot of menus etc, the 2025 is a whole new challenge. I am in my mid 80's and love this new fight.
If anyone has found some interesting new functions etc, let me/us know.
The 2025 GV80 Coupe is a major improvement over my 2021, much quieter, smoother and definitely more powerful. I think the E-SC spreads the power band out, far more response at lower RPMs. It took the twin turbos time to spool up, but the supercharger helps at these lower RPMs.
