    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Hello Forum,

I just bought my first Genesis a 2015 5.0 (not Ultimate) with 19k miles. I wanted an Ultimate, but this deal was too good to pass up. After 3 days I so far love the car. Lots of power and quiet luxury at the same time.

I have a couple questions for everyone.

1. I was originally looking for an Ultimate mostly for the adaptive suspension. Is there a big difference between base 5.0 and Ultimate adaptive suspension?

2. My daytime running lights are the turn signals. I thought they were the LEDs in the headlight? Is there a way to change it?

3. Any advice for maintenance, preventative maintenance, things to watch out for?

4. My interior looks different than what I have seen online? I do not have the knob in the middle, a second row on buttons on the bottom of the console below the radio settings, etc. See pic.

Thank you all and look forward to learning about my car.

This one I can answer. The know is only in the Ultimate. It has a 9 1/4" screen and the know is the controller. Other models have the 8" screen. I think is is actually more reliable.

You may want to do a search here on the 2015 turn signals. I know others have changed them to LED

Thank you for the response. Interesting how one inch screen makes such a big difference (adding knob, buttons, etc) For conversation, why is the 8inch more reliable?

Thank you again

Not just screen size, it is a complete different head unit. I had a 2015 Ultimate and had the head unit replaced, as did a few others here. AFAIK. it was made by LG, not sure who makes the 8"/
