Genesis Sedan 2015 Helpful tips you need to know about this car.

[gksuelzle]

I have owned this vehicle since 2015. This vehicle is techinically called a 2015 Sedan. Later they called the newer models of this vehicle as G80, but it is not really called G80 its called 2015 Sedan. I am extremely pleased with this vehicle. The keyfob battery is very easy to replace they stock them at the dollar tree for about a $1.25 for two pack of CR2032 with good dates. You take the key out of fob then you take a standard size flat tip screw driver not at the key hole in the fob but at the other side between the two plastric nubs one of the plastic nubs is a a pointy rectangle and the other is a triangle. When he twist a flat screw driver here the fob will start to pop open then go do the same at the outside on same side of the keyfob. Then to remove the battery just insert a small metal tool on the edge of the battery close to the edge of the key fob. And then insert the battery first at the outer edge of the fob and it will snap in on the metal contact side. Genesis has a nice picture of how to open this keyfob. If you don't do it right it just tears the inside of the keyfob. If you battery is completely dead we are told that you can start the car if you contact the keyfob with the start switch. You can open the door by removing key from Keyfob and the driver door small part that is posterior to the door handle. You can pull this piece off with your hand and then insert the key. Also if trunk latch breaks there is a keyhole to open the trunk. The trunk latch can be removed and replaced. When the actuator starts breaking it will be harder and harder to open the switch. Also the rubber piece that covers the trunk switch wears out and can be easily ordered and replaced. You can decrease your risk of vehicle theft and extend the life of your vehicle battery by keeping you keyfob inside of a special feyfob pouch when you park the car, that can be purchased on Ebay for less than $20.00. This will prevent the signal from you keyfob from transmitting to the vehicle and being stolen at night by car thieves at your front door. They have an antenna and can copy the signal and then start your car in less than 2 minutes and drive your car away if you have it parked in front of your house at night. Your fob will be needed to be removed from this pouch to start the car. They also can use your obd port to plug into your car. You can easily install a little metal plate over the obd port and screw in with a security screw. These screws can be easily removed for service, but could prevent theft because the theives only have seconds to bypass your alarm by plugging into this port. Also if you are having backup camera problems, its probably due to
wire chaffing a inside the trunk just in front of the passenger side trunk support arm, this rubs on wiring and causes a short here. You must remove the trunk liner and lid liner to expose this wire and then some basic wire splicing replacing with heat solder wire splice kits to fix the shorts can permantly fix this problem. Also a wire kit can be purchased from mypremium key.com one can remote start this vehicle without subscription cost. The 3 g support for this service will cease for this vehicle 12-2023. This my premium key kit plugs into the existing security key system with multiple clip in plugs, no wire splicing required. The cost of this system is about $400. After these connections are made your existing remote will be able to remote start the vehicle by pressing the lock button on your existing remote 2 times in a row. The range of this will work at the exactly the same range as your current keyfob remote range. By replacing your battery this range will be maximized. If you have electrical problems with this vehicle that can prevent it from being driven or shifting you will need to the direct service department to a main rear of the vehicle main wiring harness. Firestone has great tires for this vehicle and usually has
newer manufactured tires that you can verify by there dates. The dealer installs interstate batteries for his vehicle and will not charge more than anyone else to replacement the battery. My first battery on this vehicle did not last very long because it was stored for sometime on a lot before I purchased in used. Now that I drive my car very week and keep my keyfob in a keyfob pouch you can buy on ebay for less than $20.00 my interstate battery is performing great after longer than 5 years.
