NEW FEATURES FOR THE GENESIS INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM

[Fuddy]

Just wanted to share something I found today. I went to Genesis Mapcare | Customer Login to see what the latest map was available for my car. I noticed at the bottom of the page, there was a survey titled: WE ARE WORKING ON NEW FEATURES FOR THE GENESIS INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND WANT YOUR OPINION. IF YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES, PLEASE TAKE OUR SURVEY!

So, I took it. Below is a list of the questions and what was being asked. There are four categories, with 3-7 specific features in each category they want your feedback on. You rate each feature from 1 (not useful) to 5 (very useful). At the end of each category, you are also asked how much you'd pay for that set of features. The range is $0 - $10. So keep in mind, each category is accumulative. So I stated price just for each category. This gives them an idea of value to you.

Here are the categories (in bold) and features. It is quite insightful. At the very end of the survey, you have a free-form text box to add comments/suggestions.

When I had Sonatas, Hyundai did a lot of that type of surveys. Some of the items did end up in the new models. You could join the Hyundai Circle and got good pricing ans some swag on occasion. Good way to build customer loyalty.
