Apple #carplay and Android #auto Integration Available on Affordable Sedan

Fountain Valley, Calif., Mar. 31, 2016 – #hyundai is adding #apple #carplay support to new 2016 Sonatas. #carplay is the smarter, safer and easier way to use an iPhone® in the car and gives users the features they want such as Phone, Messages, Music, and Maps, while allowing them to stay focused on the road.

“Sonatas with #carplay are rolling off our assembly line in Montgomery, Alabama, and arriving at #hyundai dealerships nationwide,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, corporate and product planning, #hyundai Motor America. “Not only is #sonata built in America, it also is built with a high technology experience in mind.”

CarPlay delivers an instantly recognizable experience to iPhone users that will help them be instantly familiar and comfortable inside their #sonata. #carplay support lets drivers make calls, get directions optimized for traffic conditions, listen to music and access messages. With #carplay, Siri provides drivers an eyes-free experience by responding to requests through voice commands that are easily and directly accessed through the steering wheel’s voice button. Using a Lightning connector, #carplay works with iPhone 5 and newer models running the iOS 7.1 or higher operating systems.

Both #apple #carplay and Android #auto are available on the 2016 Sonata’s seven-inch Display Audio touchscreen and eight-inch navigation systems, optimizing the consumer experience even further with a larger screen. The #carplay roster of supported apps can be found at the following link: http://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/. Android Auto’s #app roster can be found here: g.co/androidauto.

There will be an announcement about #carplay support on the 2016 #sonata Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid at a later date. #hyundai will also have an announcement in the near future related to #carplay support for existing 2015 Sonatas with navigation, and 2016 Sonatas with Display Audio or navigation. These updates require a specific version of the on-board navigation map and #hyundai is developing a solution, which will provide both the map update and #carplay support at no additional cost. When the #carplay update becomes available customers can be notified by providing their contact information atwww.hyundaiusa.com/phoneintegration.
