  • 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.

I feel like a bit of an idiot, but after driving my car for ten months, I've just discovered how to access the Data Services. I recently decided to review the many (six!) Owners manuals again and realized I had never seen the icons for things like weather forecast, radar and traffic (I chose not to renew the Sirius subscription, so I didn't miss those icons). They don't show up with the other icons when you choose the star button on the dash. Why not?
Also, what's up with having three identical looking manuals, all with the title of "Genesis G70 Quick Reference Guide"? At first I almost threw one or two of them out, thinking I had been given duplicates. How hard would it have been to add "Multimedia" or something on the cover so you would know what material was covered in each manual without having to flip through it.
And I guess I should add, Get Off My Lawn! Lol

We have weather forecast, radar and traffic icons somewhere? Damn I better read the instruction manual.
 
Yeah, the best part of the Data Services is you can go back and look at the locations you send to the car.

IMO, you've not missed much. The nearest weather to me was always too far to count. The other day I get a message "congestion 5 miles ahead" but the next exit is 6 miles and it is the expected daily traffic with no good alternatives. YMMV but for me is is pretty useless.
 
Ok, I was afraid it might be disappointing. But I am glad to at least know these "features" exist and how to access them. It didn't seem like they made it very clear.
@pulsar, glad to know I'm not the only one 😊.
