The Genesis Intelligent Assistant app that works with Genesis Connected Services now has Apple Watch and Android Wear integration. Owners can control their Genesis vehicle directly from their wrist with an all-new Genesis smartwatch app just released. The voice-activated app is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. This app adds to the connected car already available to Genesis owners, with Amazon Alexa integration and the MyGenesisUSA.com website. Genesis Connected Services are complimentary for the first three years of ownership.
“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.”

About Ken Zino
Ken Zino, editor and publisher of AutoInformed, is a versatile auto industry participant with global experience spanning decades in print and broadcast journalism, as well as social media. He has automobile testing, marketing, public relations and communications experience. He is past president of The International Motor Press Assn, the Detroit Press Club, founding member and first President of the Automotive Press Assn. He is a member of APA, IMPA and the Midwest Automotive Press Assn.
He also brings an historical perspective while citing their contemporary relevance of the work of legendary auto writers such as Ken Purdy, Jim Dunne or Jerry Flint, or writers such as Red Smith, Mark Twain, Thomas Jefferson – all to bring perspective to a chaotic automotive universe.
Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine. Zino has also worked in Europe, and Asia – now the largest automotive market in the world with China at its center.
