Transform Your Genesis BH Interior with an Electronic Gear Shifter
For Genesis BH owners looking to refresh their vehicle's interior ambiance, upgrading the gear shifter is a compelling option. While the stock shifter is functional, replacing it with an Equus electronic gear shifter offers a significant aesthetic and functional enhancement. This upgrade not only modernizes the cabin's look but also introduces user-friendly features that can elevate the driving experience. The sleek design of the Equus shifter, coupled with its impressive start-up LED ceremony, adds a touch of luxury and excitement every time you start the engine. This review details the process, benefits, and considerations of this popular modification, as performed by Today's Car Geojedam in Korea.
Enhanced Functionality and Safety Features
The Equus electronic gear shifter brings a new level of intuitiveness to your Genesis BH. Gear selection (P, R, N, D) is clearly indicated by illuminated alphabetic characters directly on the shifter itself, making it easy to confirm your selection at a glance. A standout feature is the integration with the hazard lights. Pressing the 'P' button automatically activates the emergency flashers, providing an immediate safety measure. This functionality extends to when you shift into reverse; the hazard lights will also engage automatically, enhancing safety during maneuvers. Furthermore, the side button, typically an unlock button on the original Equus shifter, has been repurposed for the Genesis BH. Instead of being redundant, it's been ingeniously linked to the horn, offering quick access in urgent situations. This thoughtful customization ensures that even seemingly minor elements are optimized for driver convenience and safety.
Installation Process and Professional Expertise
The installation of an Equus electronic gear shifter in a Genesis BH is a detailed process that requires precision and expertise. While the exact duration can vary slightly depending on the specific vehicle model and year, it typically takes around 3 to 4 hours to complete. The cost for this upgrade generally ranges from 300,000 to 500,000 Korean Won (approximately $220-$360 USD, subject to exchange rates), with the final price determined after a thorough vehicle inspection and consultation. It is crucial to have this work performed by experienced professionals, such as those at Today's Car Geojedam. Improper wiring can lead to electrical system issues, making the skill and knowledge of technicians vital for a safe and flawless installation. The shop offers a one-year quality warranty on the work performed, providing peace of mind for owners.
Installation process:
- Removal of the original Genesis BH gear shifter assembly.
- Careful wiring and integration of the Equus electronic gear shifter's electrical components with the vehicle's systems.
- Programming and testing of all integrated functions, including gear indication LEDs, hazard light linkage, and horn activation.
- Reassembly of the center console trim to complete the installation.
The durability of the Equus electronic gear shifter is excellent, with an expected lifespan of over 5 years under normal usage. Regular maintenance is minimal, primarily involving keeping the shifter clean from dust and debris.
