key/remote for Genesis

[iamrelaxed]

How many keys/remotes come with the '11 Genesis sedan? Any idea of how much an additional one costs? (I may buy one soon and I'm trying to see what things to ask the dealer to throw in.)

Two and ask for better tires ie. Michelin energy saver, Perelli P Zero, Continental DWS, Bridgestone Turanza Serenity,or Firestone wide oval Indy 500

Thanks. So far their offer is $38,200 with the continental tires instead of the dunlaps. We'll see if they go any further down in price or add something else
to sweeten the deal.

Hyundai's keyless ignition setup works with two, and no more than two, remote FOBs. If you loose one, you buy a replacement at the dealer and then the dealer "syncs" both the new FOB, your remaining original one, and the vehicle itself to new electronic combinations. You can't program just one remote.

At least that's how the owner's manuals and factory service manual describe the procedure.

Things to twist the dealer into including:
1) better tires
2) cargo net if not present in the spare tire well (in a plastic bag)
3) trunk floor liner - a big "bed mat"
4) iPod cable
5) extended warranty, especially for the electronics - non-Hyundai parts have only a 3 year/36K mile warranty and are not part of the 5/50K or 10/100K warranties. Make sure you get a warranty backed by Hyundai itself, not some 3rd party. Those generally aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Hyundai offers a full 10/100K "bumper to bumper" warranty upgrade.
6) some dealers include free oil changes for life, some even offer scheduled maintenance. Find out what brand oil they use though - "free" oil changes with cheap crap aren't a bargain.

Learn something new everyday!

What is wrong with the stock tires and what is a recommendation to replace them with?

I have fairly new tires on my 2010 (car only has 8k miles) but when the time comes to replace them, I suppose I might as well get the good stuff.

Here are kinks to two survey results from Tire Rack. Best tires are at the top of each list. Note that the OEM Dunlop tire is at the bottom. The top five or so tires on each list all are good tires.

That sucks - I almost want to get rid of them now. Well in 15k miles or whatever I am switching for sure.
