It's what happens AFTER you push the start button that will make the entry levels go hide. Getting sick of hearing people talking about the Hyundai and comparing it to the G (just a side note about "entry" levels). IMHO .... Hyundai will always be a entry level regardless of what they package in a attractive price.

 

I agree. Even though I'm sure the Genesis Coupe is a great car, whenever I hear Hyundai all I think of is a cheap, plastic car. They will always have a sub-par connotation in my mind

 

Yeah, I thought of that too. Just one problem though....I don't have my car yet. Maybe someone else can try it.

 

Well, the owner's manuals says the slot should be used in the event of a partially discharged fob battery.

 

I test drove the Genesis sedan (V8) while I was shopping around. Very nice car - they've come a long way - but it's not the same quality yet. And until people's perceptions of them change, that resale value will kill you.

 

The owners manual is telling you that because the RF signal is too weak for the car's receiver to pick it up. Partially drained still means no workie.

I'm answering your own question about HOW the slot works, which is not in the owner's manual - it's in the service manual. What I meant by "regardless of the battery condition of the I-key" was that whether it had partial or no charge. Obviously if it has sufficient charge I expect that the RF key will be detected anyway.

 

Well that 's what I've been saying all along. But if the battery in the I-key (I've been calling it a fob) is too weak to transmit the signal to the car while it is in your pocket, then moving it to the slot will allow that weak signal to reach the car. So if that's true, then it seems logical that the driver could simply hold the I-key next to the slot (instead of inserting it) and the engine should start...
