I'll share. After 10 days ownership of my GV80, the most interesting quirk I've discovered is the huge disappointment that SiriusXM Travel Link (weather/fuel prices) is not available. Genesis replaced it with HD Radio Data which is apparently only available in major metro areas. Unable to find much info, but apparently leaves 95% of the country without any service. So to my mind Genesis has inexplicably "bricked" this highly desirable service. Haven't been able to find an Android Auto work around. Can anyone shed light on this change? Can we lobby to get it back?
I recommend reaching out to Genesis Customer Care at 1-866-999-9895 from Monday – Friday / 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (eastern time). Voicing your concern through them might help. Haven't tried with Android Auto yet but I heard there's a weather widget that can be enabled.
So far I'm most impressed with the acceleration of my 2.5T. I'm used to sporty big block V8s, and was reluctant to go with this displacement. But I'm more than happy with the quick response and effortless pickup this thing has.
That's really weird because Hyundai Motor America and therefore Genesis should still have its agreement with SiriusXM in place.

I still have a lot to learn, and will keep researching AA. But nothing I've found will send a weather map or fuel prices to the display. This shouldn't be necessary. They disabled a great system that works everywhere and replaced it something that works almost nowhere. I'm mystified at the disservice. At least give folks a choice!
Thanks for the link. Yes, we still get SXM All Access programing. And 2020s got Travel Link Service. But Genesis dropped Travel Link in 2021. I'm sure it was not SXM decision since they make $$ from the service. If Genesis didn't want to pay for the free trial, OK, but don't lock out folks who want it.That's really weird because Hyundai Motor America and therefore Genesis should still have its agreement with SiriusXM in place.

They might be out of touch with what people actually want to use and rather take a more corporate friendly approach.
Thats a good idea. I'll take it on. Thanks!
Car is tight. 240 lbs and feel squeezed in driver seat. Ok for short trips but a long drive would be another matter
Is it the seat as a whole that's tight or is it in a specific spot?
I hope this isn't the beginning of reasons to avoid the first year model GV80.
im 5'9 and round and i dont feel constrained. maybe its my driving position.
Have you tried try tracking down a GV80 demo that you can test drive?

You know that the seat bolsters spread out, right? You can have the seat ‘hug’ you less by spreading them from the control panel. Maybe not all trim levels have this feature.
