    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 given up on Hyundai...not the Genesis but Canadian Hyundai support.
(Bad term, it doesn't exist )
My continuing Bluetooth problems are more that the local service Manager(s) can cope with. ( extremely unknowledgeable) and the Hyundai Tech people are NOT permitted to talk directly to owners. ( If in fact they even exist ) In light of the problems in the U.S with REFURBISHED uits being supplied by Hyundai and further problems, I did NOT want to suffer their fate. Never fear, there is NO support here whatsoever so I won't have to suffer the REBUILT problems.
The Service Managers & Hyundai's Tech people are really out of their league with anything other than the basic Accent.
I'll live with the problem till I get rid of the Gennie ! ( I don't even take it there for oil changes ! )

I sympathise with the problems you have had and the apparent lack of support that you have experienced, but you cannot criticize the entire Hyundai Canada tech support system based upon your biased opinions alone.
I have found the Service manager and Tech's at my dealership informed and helpful and the couple of times they have needed to call Hyundai Canada Tech support for issues with my car, they have received prompt and accurate answers.

You don't like your Genesis because of some problems or Hyundai because of the support, OK I get that, but just about every post you have made on this and the Canadian Genesis website has been totally negative. That is your right, but don't expect us all to agree with you.

My advice, find another Dealership!
 
I have had nothing but positive results from my dealership here in British Columbia.

Sorry to hear of your problems.

To clarify...

I have been to several dealerships, ( see Managers
They cannot deal with a complex electronic problem. So, I reasonably asked to see a 'TECH'. Not possible, just travel further afield to see more dealerships ! I do not have the time or patience to continue this game.
Am I negative ? Damn right..I expected a lot more !
 
A Hyundai rep ?

Hey CanukV6...Are you with Hyundai ? Sure sounds like it ! A ringer ? :confused:

Then are you an employee of a competitor trying to spread bad words?

I understand that you're having problems with your Bluetooth and are frustrated, but you didn't care to elaborate on the issue and rather started to bash Hyundai.

IMO, CanukV6's got a point and he gave you a valid advice.

Hey Waki, I can understand your frustration. FWIW, I have flawless Bluetooth with my Motorola Droid; it is crystal clear and does not cut out after 2 minutes like yours does. Have you tried another Bluetooth phone?
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
If you'd read my message, I luv my Genny....NOT HAC Canada. All clear ?
And my continuing Bluetooth problem is completely detailed elsewhere. NOT the phone, but the car ! And guess what, a large number of people are still having Bluetooth problems that are NOT getting resolved with REFURBISHED 'stuff' from Hyundai !!
And NO, don't work for or want, a Toyota. Just some support from HAC.

<removing offending info>
In all of that however, I didn't find detailed info on the phone you're using, nor the manner of testing you used to determine that it is indeed the car, etc. I suppose that was the angle I was pursuing; I've had two bluetooth cars and several bluetooth phones, and some tend to work better than others.

Since your goal appears to be to rant, feel free to rant away, however. It's clear that this thread won't be productive in solving your problem.

I use my iPhone everyday with my Genesis and its flawless. Love the compatibility and usefulnes of the handfree. Although its pretty amazing that some US cars are more technically advanced than some Asian made cars... I guess Ford, GM finally got the message... lol

1. You are correct there are a lot of blue tooth problems. In further truth some caused by the car and some by the phones. Most just need a good tech. I suggest that you might look in the phone book for a place like Best Buy that has a stereo shop doing installs, some times those guys can get a phone to hook up. If you use Skype or just want to give me a call I'll try and help you. I have done quite a few and may, cant be positive but may be able to help.

2. Some folks THINK their dealer is great because he has fixed their problem, but have not yet given them a problem that tests their metal. It's kind of like Doctors, everyone love theirs until he kills them.

3. Brand loyalty has no bounds, Look at all the people crying over Pontiac's, (that will get me a lot of replies) If you get a good one the car is great, if a bad one the car is bad. In this case the lack of tech ability and STUPIS SELF SERVING policies of the dealership make the problem bad. At my Mercedes dealership, I am invited to come back into the shop area escorted by the head of the service department whenever I feel the tech is not getting my problem either explained to him or dealing with it correctly. Hyundai needs to spend some money training their techs, Nissan is not a lot better. I have found that only Caddy, Mercedes, Volkswagen andAudi seem willing to make the investment required to have top notch shops.

4. Some folks take a personal offense that seems to relate to a lack of self confidence. If you criticize their selection then you are demeaning them. That is not the case you are venting about a frustration related to your incident and it does not have anything to do with them or their dealer or their car or their decision in buying it. I criticize my cars ride, it does not mean others cars must also ride bad but that mine does. My dealer says it is as designed and in my opinion if that is the case they are spreading the problem to the design and that may or may not be true. Enough! You all are aware of my feeling and the reactions I have received to it. A lot like what you are experiencing.

5. I am not fully apprised of the details of your problem: Lack of connection (bonding) , lack of clarity, losing bonding, muting of entertainment system during call, etc. etc. I have a couple of questions. Have you tried another phone? Do any other phones work, If not do they all suffer the same malady, etc., have you gone to a stereo shop and tried to get the problem studied/ etc. I know you should not have to do these things but if you want the phone to work with the bluetooth you may have too.

6. The result of your problems will not be eased by other say negative things to you but by the Bluetooth working, if Hyundai does not do that then they will fail in keeping you as a customer and it will add to their woes of not be perceived as a luxury car manufacturer. Pretty design is only skin deep, BUT we know these guys are very insulated from the person that counts the customer, take Toyota and GM and Chrysler as good examples. AND by the way FORD's moniker of Fix Or Repair Daily was earned.

7. I wish you luck but that will not do much good but this group does not evidently have the expertise to help fix the problem and the emotions seem unsupportive which I personally think is a shame. I would like to see fellow forum members try to help each other solve problems and leave off commenting about the non technical aspects of the problems.
 
Thanks Gripper Don.
My BLUETOOTH problem is with any/all phones. The connection is always dropped after 2-3 minutes. Necessary to 'RECONNECT'. I've had several private mailings from several with the identical problem. UNRESOLVED !
It's obvious with the likes of some here I'm wasting my time. Kinda like dealing with HAC. Do like the Genny tho
 
Re: A Hyundai rep ?

Hey CanukV6...Are you with Hyundai ? Sure sounds like it ! A ringer ? :confused:

No, I'm just a Happy Hyundai owner.:) There are a few of us around here.

I genuinely do sympathize with your Bluetooth problem and I agree if it really is a car system problem as opposed to a phone/carrier/cell-service issue then you should expect Hyundai to help fix it.

If not then there is always: http://http://www.camvap.ca/eng/media_release.htm

It has however been my experience that you attract more attention from people with Honey rather than Vinegar.

Waki,

There are several cars on this site that don't like their owners. Obviously you have one of them. Give up, do your car a favor and please turn it in. You'll be happier in long run.

The comment was sarcastic. Just annoying when people vent and then when someone disagrees, they dismiss them as shills for the manufacturer. Now, I don't doubt that perhaps there are some here, but playing the conspiracy theory card is a cop-out regardless of who uses it. It only serves to try to attack the credibility of a poster in a completely unprovable way.

I clearly get that you're upset with HAC, and probably rightly so. But just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't necessarily mean that they're HAC employees trying to do damage control.

Don't worry, you're not alone. There a few others here who regularly use that tactic. It's the Internet equivalent of pointing behind someone during an uncomfortable moment and shouting "hey, look over there!"
