First Generation New Genesis owner...Navigation costs?

[Ednchrishk]

Hello,
I am getting a 2009 genesis with premium plus and tech package? Just curious as I have never had navigation in a car? What is the cost to utilize all the amenities, ie..Bluetooth,xm Sirius, ect.? Is it all through one provider? Is anything complimentary or is this going to cost me $40ish a month?

Any insight would be hlpful...Thanks..

On a 2009 the Bluetooth is for a mobile phone, etc and does not cost anything. However, it may not support all the latest models of mobile phones (not sure).

Contact SiriusXM Radio for pricing. I think it is about $10-$20 per month depending on what package you get.

You may be eligible for a free 60 day trial period on the SiriusXM Radio, which I would recommend before paying for it, since I personally think it sounds terrible. You can check eligibility for a free trial here:

If you are not eligible per the website, contact the dealer who sold the car and see if they can get you a free trial.

The Nav is free, but not sure about traffic subscription, and map updates from the dealer are fairly expensive (contact dealer for more info).

The traffic info is a SiriusXM package. It costs an additional $3.99/mo. It shows warnings for incidents, but only shows color-coded road speeds in certain areas. The warnings have usually been outdated, but I haven't had the car for that long so I'll wait until my trial is up before I decide to renew.

That was my experience when I first bought my Genesis, and had the trial package. Use something like Waze if you actually want current traffic info.
