First Time Genesis Owner

[COAST1E]

Hello Everyone!

First time Genesis owner here. Just bought a used G90 5.0 AWD last weekend. I am a previous Acura/Infiniti/BMW owner. Read through the posts regarding the hassles and challenges in activating the Blue Link system - as I already tried three times today after a reset (sigh). So, I just called a Compustar T12 Remote Starter installer and scheduled an install this weekend! I used to have a Compustar remote starter on my 2010 BMW X5 35d and it's rated for three miles in optimal conditions. I successfully remote-started that BMW X5 as I was landing on a commercial flight one time and it worked! It is expensive but will pay -off in the long term compared to that Blue Link subscription, in my opinion.

Do you have a connected services subscription? If not, no amount of resets are going to help.
Have to looked at the TSB that restores connected services that went offline in January as a result of the 3G sunset?

$1300 + another $200 for a wire harness so I did not have to give up one of my FOBs , + tax. This is in South Florida and you can probably find it cheaper in your area. It is the kit that includes the Pro T13 LCD and R5 LED two-way remotes. You can also choose a kit with two R5 remotes for a cheaper price. Install time on my G90 was 5 hours!!

My Genesis app is showing my remote subscription is good until Jan 23, 2024. I just purchased the new Compustar Pro T13 remote starter, so problem solved.

So you paid $1,500 now as opposed to $300/year (assuming you connected services got it working and less any discount) . And you expect to keep the car for another 5 years to break even. Is that what your opinion was based on?
