Apparently it will start in the Genesis but will roll out quickly to the Sonata. The article (translated from Korean) is a bit vague but I'm assuming that it would port your phone's display to the dash display. So you could control Pandora and use Google maps for example. It doesn't say if the car will get an LTE chip so that it could connect without a phone.
lol, Kia offers that NU system which basically is an app that remote starts, opens windows, locks/unlocks, turns on lights and can function as a GPS to find your car....
It's cool and all, but I don't 100% trust it.... I mean hackers these days are getting smarter and smarter.... so by using a app on my phone I 100% don't trust it yet....
I wouldn't expect the cars to have an LTE chip. It's nothing like that, just NFC so the phone can take the place of the keyfob.
Personally I wouldn't trust it or want it. Phones are more likely to be stolen so the last thing I'd want to do is rely on one instead of the keyfob (assuming you could start the car with your phone simply being present, but I doubt it'll be taken that far).
On the bright side, it's about **** time an auto manufacturer stopped catering exclusively to Apple's crap.
There is already some kind of mobile network connection for bluelink - just upgrade it to 4g and monetize it.
