    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.

Hey Guys,

I have a 2017 G90 Ultimate for about 3 months now. For my first valet service appointment, I had a 2018 G90 Premium dropped off to me. I noticed a couple minor upgrades in the DIS (Driver Information System) and the Infotainment System that you all may not have noticed. See below:

1. The Blue Link button on the rearview mirror has a different logo as well as on the Infotainment system. It's renamed, can't remember what it is now...
2. A tiny Genesis logo was added to the Analog clock
3. In Lane Keep Mode, if you keep your hand off the wheel for too long, it beeps a single tone and notifies you go grab the steering wheel...

For #3, my 2017 G90 starts beeping rapidly and is quiet annoying. On very straight roads where I don't have to make much steering adjustments to stay in the lane, the system thinks I'm not holding the wheel and starts beeping. Now for my question: Is there a way for the DIS to be updated on the 2017's to be the same as the 2018 and therefore behave the same way in Lane Keep Assist?

Thanks,
Paul

It is not an upgrade. This has come up here before with a few people complaining it is too sensitive and even with hands on wheel on a long straightaway they get a signal. With both my cars I could take my hands off the wheel for about 45 seconds before the warning.

I did not see any resolution for the ones too sensitive. You may want to talk to the dealer about it as there may be some adjustment. By comparison, I can just keep a fingertip on the wheel with no alarm. If you do get resolution, please report back as it may help others.

Thanks for getting back to me. Rather than actually updating the LKA function (which would be ideal), I was meaning could the software on the DIS be updated so it beeps only once like on the 2018s? It would be much less annoying. I don't know if the Dealer can or would do this...
