Verizon 3g shutdown and our 2015 genesis cars.

The 3G modem is integrated in the head unit so not a simple unplug the old and plug in the new. I believe LG was one of the makers of the unit so they share some blame. Would be nice if they could come up with a plug in module. I don't know if that is possible.

The features you lose are anything the Genesis App does. No way to talk to the car. Don't know of any others.

I'm going to look into aftermarket remotes.

I get it. I guess that means the "SOS" is gone, not the nav, or phone, though, right? IDK what a real - or aftermarket - unit would cost. . . but cheaper than a new car since mine has such low mileage, and is otherwise lovely.

You still have nav and your phone will still work. One of the features I liked with navigation was the "send to car" feature that will be gone.

I'm hoping someone comes up with a fix but have little hope. Other brands are in similar poitions, some do have a fix though.

I have had genesis vehicles since first us 2009 model. I have 2018 g80 now. If they allow the 3g shutdown without a solution, it willbe the end of my brand loyalty. Will never purchase another one
Won't get me again.

Same here. Owned a 2009, now have a 2018 G80 with low miles. No solution/fix. Im off to another brand

Any success finding an aftermarket remote?

For all the people who are bothered like myself that such a great car has no back up plan for services that are really convenient I found an alternative that actually gives you the same things and the system cost is less then what Genesis charged.
After doing some research I found a company called DRONEMOBILE. They offer the same things for your car that Bluelink offered..In my area the installation was about $450 for the unit and the package i choose was $8 monthly and $60 yearly or something like that..I hope this helps anyone that was bothered about the loss of features.
