With the death of Bluelink, I set out again for a remote starter solution since it's the winter here in the northeast.
Read through some of the threads on here and came across a link to this My Key Premium, plug-n-play remote starter kit. Paid $329 and can give my endorsement. Shipped super fast. Ordered Friday afternoon, about 430pm, got shipping notice about 730pm via UPS ground. And since it ships from Staten Island (NYC) and I'm in north Jersey, I got it overnight.
Link to product for the 2015-2016 Genesis sedan. There's another page for 2017-2018 G80s, which should be the exact same thing.

Link to their install video. You don't actually get any instructions, just a link to the video. At only 10 minutes, it's short, but definitely descriptive enough.
Installed it this morning. I can confirm it is as simple plug-n-play as they show in the video. The only "problem" I ran into is that I couldn't get the top (large plug) back into the ECM module since it's tucked up in the back next to another module. So I removed the bottom panel below the steering column (just 2 10mm bolts and unplug the air bag and light connectors) and then removed the module blocking the ECM (a bracket with just 2 philips screws). Once that was out of the way I could easily plug in the connector with no contortions required. Also by dropping the bottom panel, that gave me a good place to zip tie the module to the top of it and get all the harness wiring bundled and attached too. Sorry I didn't take any additional pics, I was too busy cursing trying to get my hand snaked up in there like they show in the video...that guy must be a lefty, LOL. Had I been able to get my hand up there, probably would have taken about 30 minutes after having watched the install video twice. All together, it still only took me an hour.
The kit itself is made top notch. The control module is very nicely packaged, could pass for OEM. And the harnesses are all nicely felt wrapped similar to the OEM harnesses. Everything looks as good as the pics and video show.
Once I got everything back together, I locked the car and then did the lock-pause a beat-lock and the car chirped and started right up in few seconds. The hazard lights don't continually strobe like the bluelink remote start, but they do flash occasionally which I like better.
