Honestly Colegar...seeing your music is a good thing. I don't know how some of you feel, but a really good system is one that can make you "see" the performers. What I mean is...if you're sitting in your car and you close your eyes...do you simply just hear the music or is it alive enough that you can picture the artist in front of you singing and the band backing the artist up. I love it when a sound system sounds THAT good.

Thanks for this info. Maybe my battery drain was a fluke that others will not experience. I will post whether or not mine is truly rectified the next time I leave it parked at an airport for four or more days.

That is definitely not true that when the TPMS comes on it is because the tires have a nail or something in any car. I have a 2004 Mountaineer and a 2009 Fusion and mine will come on when the pressure is low which usually occurs when the temperature suddenly drops to the single digits for a couple of days. I will then take them to have them filled and will find that the pressure is down o 24 psi or something. Only had the TPMS on once in the Mountaineer because of a nail.

OK-I live in Southern California and will take your word what happens when the weather gets to single digits!
 
It's 78 degrees today

Click on the web link below for a good description of the different tire pressure monitoring systems:

I don't know which type the Genesis has but my complaint (in my January 28th post) is that it definitely does not have the good kind that gives you a diagram showing the PSI of each tire. My last car was also an Acura TL and I checked the pressures shown on its diagram (using a digital guage) and found it to be very accurate. The Acura system is the best!

Super Bowl ad by backy

Anyone see the Genesis sedan ad on the Super Bowl? The one where executives from various Japanese and European car makers are yelling "Hyundai!" in meetings, and the voice-over says something like, "It took a little thing like the North American Car of the Year award to get people to say our name right." I thought it was a pretty funny way to get the point across.
 
There was also an ad for the coupe, showing a yellow coupe being flung around a racetrack. Obviously aimed at a younger demographic than ads for the sedan.

It has a direct monitoring system. The manual states: Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem."
 
My TPMS light came on for a specific tire and I took it in. The dealer hooked the computer up to the car and the car reported the PSI for each tire. (so it knows the PSI, unfortunately it doesn't show the number on the dash, only the tires that are too low) Also all my tires were below 33, but only one was low enough to trigger the warning, so I can understand why it would be nice to know the exact PSI.

illiustrates the influence of individual perspective and predisposition, I guess.
At least according to an ESPN talk show this morning (I don't know whose 'ratings' they (Mike and Mike) were talking about) , the Hyundai ads you reference rated at the bottom of all the Super Bowl ads - the Doritos ads at the top of the heap - at least in terms of 'funny'.

I guess if one considers ripping the clothes off a young lady as she is walking down the street or turning a police officer into a monkey funny. I think it's pretty juvenile. Could be an indication of the market that the Doritos ads were going after.
 
Maybe a better word for the Hyundai ad is "clever." It wasn't rip-roaring funny, more tongue-in-cheek funny. But there were better ads on the Super Bowl for sure.
