Locate the fuse box, typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
Remove the cover and locate the infotainment system fuse using the fuse diagram.
Inspect the fuse for any signs of damage (broken filament or discoloration).
If damaged, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage (usually 10A or 15A).

3. Perform a Hard Reset

Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Open the driver's door and press and hold the power button of the infotainment system for 10 seconds.
Wait for the system to reboot, which may take a few minutes.

4. Update Software

Connect a USB drive formatted to FAT32 with the latest firmware update downloaded from the Genesis website.
Insert the USB drive into the USB port of the infotainment system.
Follow on-screen prompts to install the update, ensuring the vehicle remains in accessory mode during the process.

5. Test and Reconnect Bluetooth

Go to the Bluetooth settings on your infotainment system.
Delete any previously paired devices.
Re-pair your device by following the on-screen instructions for Bluetooth pairing.
