How much for an extended warranty

[jime]

What should I expect to pay for an 7 year/100,000 mile warranty that includes the head unit for my 3.8 Ultimate?

You can purchase one from any Hyundai dealer, regardless of where you purchased the car. You can search the forums to find dealers who will give you a quote on the phone.

Jime, let me know what you find out about the head unit. There seems to be some squishy verbiage related to if this is or is not covered. I would want to see it in writing that the head unit is covered. Good luck.

It is clearly stated (via asterisks) on the Hyundai Warranty website. The audio/video/GPS infotainment system is warrantied for 36 months or 36K miles whichever comes first. Same for all Hyundai's (except maybe for Equus which has slightly different warranty on some items). Check the website.

The question is about an extended warranty that can be purchased from a dealer (offered by Hyundai Motor America). The Platinum extended warranty does cover the entire audio/video/GPS infotainment system, but there is some question (due to poor wording of the extended warranty) about the radar components such as adaptive cruise control, collision warning, etc.

Mark,
Does that mean the radar, etc. is totally separate from the head unit? Is it $1,000s to fix any of the safety technology (SCC, blind spot, etc.)? Wonder if it is a pretty rare issue.

It is not clear whether the radar stuff is, or is not, covered by the extended warranty. The extended warranty terms were very poorly written and it is confusing.

As to whether the head unit contains the safety technology embedded in it, I don't think so since it is supplied by Harmon International, which does not supply any of the safety stuff. However, the display and control system may be used to set options on these systems.

From selling them, the price depends on make, model, and miles. I had 39000 miles on my genesis and bought a warranty up to 100,000 for $1261.

$1425 is an excellent price for the 10 year 100,000 mile $0 deductible warranty.

Hi. I was quoted ~$1680 for the Hyundai HPP Platinum VSC plan when I buy a new 2014 Genesis R-spec. I wasn't told if it's a $0 deductible or $100 deductible plan.

Is this a fair/good price?

Depends on what you mean by "fair." Others have negotiated several hundred dollars less so I would say it is not particularly good, although not the highest price ever paid.

Hmm, thanks for the feedback. I guess I should shop around for it.
