Same here but i am in no rush, enjoying the car too much to care lol would be nice to have it up and running though

 

[GenesisYEG]

I will send both your VINs to Genesis Canada so we can get this fixed!

There are some issues with GCS being functional in Canada. An update should be coming out shortly so I will keep you guys posted.

 

[AnyVare]

What does the GCS app allow you to do in Canada?

 

[GenesisYEG]

Remote start/lock/unlock, temperature and heated steering wheel setting with different profiles available, diagnostics.

I tried signing up again. This time it worked. I was able to unlock/lock my doors from my phone and find my car on a map.

The app updated popped up on the Play Store and seems to work now, though I find it takes 30s - a min before the car will update or respond to a command. Does it take that long for everyone else?

Yes, it does. If you start it when you get out of the checkout line in the store you may be back to the car by the time it starts. Would be nice it it was just the push of a button on a fob.

Hey guys, in the demo of the app it shows you can turn on seat heat or ac but I can't find that option in the app. It only allows idle time, interior temp, front defrost, and then one option that includes rear defrost, side mirror defrost and heated steering wheel.

I sure hope this is something that will be updated. Heated seats is a must for the winter and it would be nice to have the AC seats on for the summer (my other vehicle can do both of those).

I also wish they would give the option of more time. 10 min isn't long enough when it is -30 in the winter (yeah I am a wimp, whatever lol).

Heated/cooled seat functionality is not available in Canada (for whatever reason).

The reason sure seems sadistic when you consider not giving heated seat functionality to Canada!

My butt gets cold too but we don't have it in the US on other models. Sure would be nice. On my 2010 Sonata I could leave the switches on and they would stay on.

Can you post a picture of the app screen with start engine. It’s impossible for me to find a version number. Are you using iOS or Android ? I have to say I am surprised they are using a different app for the G70 or for Canada
Here is what mine looks like.

Do you think there is a chance that can change via an update?

Wow, very different look. I wonder if they will update the US version.
Thanks

Something else I just noticed, on the app it shows I need maintenance in 11,522km which would be a 12K service interval. It should be 10K and I assumed the dealer just set up the reminder incorrectly in the car, but I looked and the car shows 10K interval on the IP so not sure why the app would be different or how to change that.

Something for GenesisYEG to look into.
