Does anyone know if Apple Car play will actually come to the Sonata? I have seen it in reviews but I am pretty sure I do not have it, and I find in mentioned nowhere on Hyundai's web site. I am hoping it will be a software release and so us early buyers will get it.

Also, I was able to hook the car up to my home WiFi network, what is that even for, to download updates to the car?

Hi,

I saw a press release it will only be available for nav equipped Sonatas. I have a Sport with the premium package and no navigation. I have found the Blue Link turn by turn directions very good. It uses Google maps and provides accurate guidance on the screen but does not display a map. I have a mini iPad for that with cellular.

Interestingly, it doesn't look like you need Navigation with this head unit, as Google Maps/Navigation works on the screen. The only advantage to a built in Navigation is the built in maps and getting traffic info by satellite. In fact, I suspect even some users with Navigation might use the Google Maps features of Android Auto rather than pay to upgrade the built in Navigation's maps.

The release claimed that Display Audio would be available in "select 2016 vehicles". My guess is that models that currently have the 5" touchscreen audio will be upgraded to the new Display Audio, while lower end models with the non-touchscreen audio will likely get the 5" touchscreen along with the backup camera.

How About A Reliable Answer?!

I've had my 2015 Sonata Sport 2.0T, with nav system. I took delivery in September with the "promise" that CarPlay would be available later in the year (2015). Obviously, that's incorrect.

I've been unable to get anything even close to a reliable and definitive answer to the simple question "WHEN?". There were lots of claims in the sales literature, but nothing--not even updates from Hyundai--since. This is a sore spot for me on a vehicle with which I've otherwise been very impressed.

Yes, Android Auto is supposed to be included at the same time the head units are updated with Apple CarPlay. The Display Audio unit articles talk about it. Among the features, both will allow you to display some screens from your phone on the car's touchscreen, such as Apple Navigation through CarPlay or Google Maps through Android Auto -- at least one article I read, the author complained he couldn't get Google Maps through CarPlay. Additionally, both will give the option of reading your text messages though the audio system.
