Navigation OS

[mygenesis]

Could you let me know the navigation OS of 2015 Genesis ?
Windows CE or Android or Linux ?

Depends.

For the standard infotainment unit (AVN 4.5), Linux-based operating which is actually Android (2.3 Gingerbread) using an ARM Cortex-A9 core. The Ultimate Package (DIS 2.0) is Linux-based OS Meego using an Intel Atom processor (E660T).

Thanks for very helpful info.

On the basis of your help, I found more information on DIS 2.0 at the following link:

Additionally, is it possible to access the Navi as an engineer mode or admin mode (DIS 2.0) ?

No problem. As an aside, you are aware that is the same link in the original response - it's just the next page in the review

excellent article, but I have disagree on the infotainment control knob. I think its placement is perfect for where I rest my arm on the arm rest. I can reach it perfectly and navigate without even looking.

I agree about the knob - it is perfectly placed for my right hand when my hand is on the armrest. It is also handy for the passenger. One other note on the article, it says that Pandora is only available to those with iOS via USB. This is wrong. I stream Pandora via Bluetooth from my Android phone with no problem other than I have to sometimes relaunch Pandora to establish the collection. Other than that it works great. I tend to find myself doing this more than Sirius....

FYI - that article is pre-launch from last April, so some things may have evolved or been calrified since. It is however one of the deeper dives below the sheet metal for those who appreciate tech in cars.

You're totally right that you can Bluetooth Pandora. You can also Bluetooth YouTube or pretty much anything else your phone will output audio for. I'm pretty sure you lose the ability to Thumbs Up/Down songs on the car's display though since the car just sees it as an audio stream.

I stream audible books through bluetooth and form the touch screen I have the ability to pause/fwd/rw the book. Works great in my ultimate.

Are you using the Audible app to do this or another app and, if so, which?

Thanks Alley

P.S. Looking to stream books, not necessarily from Audible if that matters.
