Tech package

[MediaMan]

I have a 2010 Genesis V6 sedan and I am wondering if I can add a Tech Package to this car which has a premium package in it now. What else do I need to know? What I want to do is add the easy access memory seat facility.
Thanks.

What you're asking takes a pretty detailed knowledge of the wiring & electronics boxes. Not something many non-Hyundai engineers know in the first place, let alone all the variations between the models - owners that have looked this stuff up generally only look for their particular trim/package level.

sign up on www.hmaservice.com (it's free) where you can access the same service manuals and Technical Service Bulletins as the dealers. Go to the service manuals section (top/left pull-down menu) and find the "body electrical system" section. That'll have the description of the seat memory stuff and what box it lives in. There are multiple computers/modules scattered throughout the Genesis; the seat memory stuff may not live in the main "Tech" package stuff (the A/V & Nav system).

The A/V and Nav functions of the Tech package would require replacing pretty much the entire stereo system.

I have the Premium Package ($2,500) and the Navigation Package ($2,000) and can tell you that the bang for the buck is very low on the Navigation Package. Not sure what the Tech package entails. The navigation package includes 18-inch tires, DVD Navigation System (GPS data base 3 years out of date when I picked up the car), and XM Traffic which is useless for how and where I drive.

Thanks. I'm thinking this is all beyond me, though I did note that my nav system does not have my four year old home on my street and I am wondering if I can update this GPS system. I did buy a Garmin for which I was able to purchase updates for $99.00 for the life of this after market unit.
Thanks.

Yeah, that's the thing with GPS factory built-ins. They are VERY expensive options that sometimes don't work as well as commodity units costing only 1/5 as much; and the data base upgrade cost is also much more money. Can we all say RIP-OFF!

Not an exclusively Hyundai problem, BTW.
