To continually deliver innovative features to its owners, Genesis is launching a suite of new technological enhancements designed to heighten the owner experience. This includes the ability for owners to control their Genesis vehicle directly from their wrist with an all-new Genesis smartwatch app. The all-new Genesis Intelligent Assistant app – available today – now adds Apple Watch and Android Wear integration. The custom-designed app is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. This all-new app adds to the innovative digital experience already available to Genesis owners, with Amazon Alexa integration and the MyGenesisUSA.com website.
“Streamlined processes and tools that respect our owners’ time is part of the essence of Genesis,” said Erwin Raphael, general manager of Genesis in the U.S. “Integrating Genesis cars with the latest devices stems from our commitment to providing a superior ownership experience, which includes constantly studying cutting-edge technology.”
GENESIS CONNECTED SERVICESThe ability to send remote commands to Genesis vehicles using a smartwatch and voice commands provides owners with the ultimate luxury – time. Remote engine start and stop, car-finder and even parking meter reminders are just some features integrated for use with the owner’s Apple Watch or Android Wear using the new Genesis mobile app. Genesis Connected Services includes the Genesis Intelligent Assistant app and the companion app for Apple Watch and Android Wear.

By providing commute information and access to their smartphone calendar, owners can have their Genesis app automatically estimate appropriate departure times and send reminders for any upcoming appointments that require driving. Departure reminder messages are determined by up-to-the-minute commute times from the user’s current location to the destination, accounting for traffic.
Genesis owners can also take temperature control to a new level, with temperature variance notifications, remote start to pre-heat or cool the car and outside temperature detection based on zip code prior to departure time.
In addition, recommendations for gas stations are provided, allowing owners to select a station and send the location to their Genesis’ navigation system. A vehicle health status will also be communicated through the user’s smartphone when an action is required to allow owners to schedule car care for their Genesis directly from his or her app.
