Correct on both. Homelink isn't currently an option, although it is in the owner's manual. Front seats are heated and cooled, but nothing for the back seats.

 

What!? No HomeLink on the 2024 Sonata Limited? That makes no sense. Starting to make the Tucson more attractive. Although on that I'd have to give up the HUD...

 

Just looked at the website. Heated front seats mentioned, not rear. Nothing about the garage opener.
We all have different needs and my rear seat heat was never used but I'd miss not having the door opener. Big miss on the top of the line, IMO.

 

Wasn't the dimming/homelink mirror a dealer installed extra? It's listed in the accessories section for 2023 and earlier but oddly not for 2024. Not sure why the previous mirror wouldn't work with the 2024, it's the same car (with a facelift) after all.

 

On my Korea built 23 Limited it is listed from the factory on the window sticker. It may be a deal option for other models.

 

The 24 SEL hybrid does not have the Homelink, but I believe the 24 Limited does have it. Can not check it out at the local dealer because they do not have any in yet. As with al car companies, Hyundai is concentrating of the SUVs and not the sedans. Personally I think SUVs are boxes on wheels!

 

One of the other guys here has a 2024 Limited and said it did not have HomeLink, so he ordered a mirror from a salvage place on eBay and swapped it out.

I have an N-Line and ordered one, and will try installing it next week.

 

My '23 Limited has the auto-dimming/Homelink mirror. Mine's South Korea built, aswell. Mine wasn't a dealer add-on.

 

Wow… that is correct, no home link in the Limited. What a crazy omission

 

I installed a Hyundai Homelink auto-dimming mirror in my 23 Sonata SEL Hybrid... easy to do, and works like a champ! Best upgrade ever! It came with specific instructions on how to do it. Would think it would be the same for the '24s.

 

Should hopefully be even easier to install on the 24” Limited, since the mirror is already powered for dimming. Just a shame that they chose to omit it! I wonder what else they took away

 

I just stopped and looked at the 2024 Sonata Limited. It does not have rear seat heaters but I am told that the B=Link overhead button serves as a garage door opener. I was very surprised to see tat you can get a hybrid N-Line that has a lot of the N features but keeps the Hybrid engine and does not have the 300 hp.

 

How do u set that up??

 

We realized no garage door opener after bringing it home. The assumption was the previous limited had it and was told that by getting a hybrid we were not going to lose anything that the previous Sonatas had. Now the dealership claims they didn’t know.

 

The dealers SUCK! When I purchased my 2023 Sonata Hybrid Limited I knew more about the car than the sales person. For the price I would have expected the 2024 to have the Homelink. My '23 has it. When I purchased my '23 several months ago I was contemplating waiting for the '24, but dealers in the area could give me no information when they would have one. The dealer I delt with STILL does not have a '24 Hybrid Limited! From what I read, there may no longer be any ICE coming from Hyundai in a few years. They seem to be going all electric, which I think is a mistake.

 

I'll update the thread next week when the mirror gets here! Others on the forum have posted that it worked like a charm, so hoping it'll be the same for my N-Line!

And yeah, it's amazing how many sales people don't know about HomeLink. A lot of times we know the cars better than they do!

 

Received my used HomeLink mirror off of a 2020 Sonata and installed it last night. It works perfectly so far!

Removal of the old mirror was mostly easy, although you do have to feel around in front of the mirror mount to find the mounting screw. Give that a few turns and try pulling the mirror toward you to get it to slide off the windshield mount. Too many turns and the screw will pop out, so be careful! You do not need to remove the screw entirely to slide the mirror out.

The mirror itself gave a little resistance, so jiggle it a bit if necessary and don't force anything--it'll slide out eventually! After that, just pop the HomeLink mirror on, tighten the mounting screw, and plug in the power supply cable! Took me about 10 minutes from start to finish.

 

I just brought home, my newly purchased 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited. Once home, I went to set up the garage door opener and found out I don’t have a rear view mirror that has that capability! Are you freaking kidding me!!! No, I didn’t ask it if had one. I made the mistake of assuming it did. After all, it’s a limited. This is ridiculou, now I have to carry a clicker to get into my garage. Grrrrr

 

That is why I tell folks to go over a new car purchase with a check list of what you want before signing a contract. Don't assume anything! You may have gotten them to include the Homelink mirror in the "deal." Hyundai really screwed up leaving it out!

 

Yes, I admit I should NOT have assumed the mirror in the limited was auto-dimming with Homelink. But seriously, why leave it out of the 2024? What was the reasoning in that? Was the person/machine out sick or broken that day when the design was finalized? I’m dumbfounded. Can the dealer install one?

 

Since my last four cars had it, I'd assume it was still a feature on the top model. My 2023 has it and no, I did not check beforehand. My guess it is a cost savings, but I also think it is a step down from being a top model of the line.

 

Just traded a 2021 Sonata Limited for a 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited a couple of weeks ago.
Very disappointed in the infotainment system.
1. When using nav in split screen mode, it never can be set to daylight. It's always in dark mode making it useless during the day.
2. With all the real estate the programmers have available on the dash, not to have digital speed available full time is silly.
3. I was very used to keeping my info since refueling in the right side module full time as well. Annoying to have to switch modes to view.
4. Radio interface also poorly designed.
5. Not having current radio selection showing while using car play is also not good.
6. Seems once again, that the programmers and designers of the system never asked opinions or tested with real users before finalizing the product.
The old joke about a camel being a horse designed by a committee is very applicable here!

 

I thought I was nuts when I set navigation to auto adjust to light or dark depending on ambient light and it always displayed as dark—but that’s on the Home Screen only. If you’re on the Map screen, then it goes light/dark like I programmed. Maybe that’s something that can be fixed in an OTA update!

I did, however, notice after the last update you get digital speed on the Home Screen, right above the speed limit icon that is overlaid on the navigation map. You might get that the next time your vehicle updates!

 

Interesting about the digital speed on the 2024 Sonata Hybrid. However, I don't always use the navigation screen, I'd prefer the digital speed be incorporated with the analog speedometer. Also, when using the nav system I mostly keep it in split screen mode.
On another matter, why would Hyundai make the passenger seat only have power forward and back, with power seat back, instead of forward and back, with power up and down? I could've dealt with a manual seat back adjuster, but now there is no way to make the passenger seat go up or down! Many of my friends would like to be sitting higher in the car. They now say it's like sitting on the ground.

The passenger seat thing has been an item with Hyundai for some time. One would think that with the limited costing so much more, Hyundai would include all the bells and whistles! There is no rear seat heat either. In my last two Hyundai I put some one inch spacers under the passenger seat mount so my short spouse could see out better. The bottom line is, vehicle companies SUCK!

 

Wondering if anyone has tried to install a RHD power seat on the passenger side of US market Sonatas? The RHD car should come with the full-function seat and the controls would be on the right side for US passengers. Probably be real costly though.

 

I doubt that would be feasible because of matching up the seat with the vehicle ECUs. Most all the electronics of a modern vehicle go through some type of ECU.

 

What advantages did you get with this new mirror? I know you now have the ability to open your garage doors etc but only when the car is turned on. What else?

 

For me, it’s because I can use HomeLink to clone my neighborhood gate remote and it also works with my LiftMaster myQ garage door opener. That way I can avoid having multiple remotes.

Unfortunately, other “learning” remotes you can get aren’t compatible with myQ, whereas HomeLink is!

 

Here’s another issue that I’ve encountered on my 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited. While adjusting the sunroof, pushing the button on the panel above the rear view mirror. My front passenger “ airbag off” light came on. Although my front passenger is 5 foot 5 inches and 145lbs, seated in an upright position with seatbelt securely fastened. The ”airbag off” light came on while driving on the interstate. I believe there’s an electrical short in that panel, for the airbag light to come on when I’m closing the sunroof. Anyone else encounter this issue?

 

I mean honestly, aside from the refreshed front and back, and digital screen/ steering wheel. It’s the same as the 2020-2023 sonata. I’m sure there’s plenty of things that can be crisscrossed from both models incase you need to buy a used part.

 

To add a little more to this thread, I purchased a new 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited in April. I previously owned a 2013 Sonata Hybrid Limited, which I traded in with 105K miles on it. The 2013 was trouble free and I was very pleased with it's reliability and mileage. The 2024 model is far superior in every respect but it does have some small quirks which are annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. First, it's true that it does not have a passenger seat height adjustment, which at first caused me to not want to buy the car. My wife and I have owned 3 Lexus cars (2 SC400 coupes and a 2007 GS350 which we still have). We were going to buy a newer model Lexus ES300H but the front seats were unfortunately too narrow, small and hard, very unlike other Lexus seats. After agonizing for months we decided not to buy the ES300H although that would have been our preference. We also seriously considered buying a certified Mercedes E350 sedan with the 4-cyl engine. A great vehicle and super comfortable, but not a hybrid, and only a couple of years under warranty, so we went back and looked again at the 2024 Sonata Hybrid, and ended up buying a Transmission Blue color and light interior. My wife said although the seat is low, it is wider and more comfortable than the ES300H. Perhaps down the line I'll install the seat spacers to raise up the seat a little. The salesman did mention you could control a garage door remote, but I haven't used it. On page 161 of the owner's manual it states "Electrochromic mirror (ECM) with if equipped HomeLink® system Your vehicle may be equipped with a Gentex Automatic-Dimming Mirror with an Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control System. During nighttime driving, this feature will automatically detect and reduce rearview mirror glare. The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver allows you to activate your garage door(s), electric gate, home lighting, etc."

Mostly, the car is super-nice to drive, gets terrific mileage, is smooth and responsive, even in Eco mode, and if you encounter hills, switching to sport mode really helps the transmission select the correct gears and not labor or stay too long in a lower gear, as sometimes happens in Eco model. The entertainment and control system has a few strange design flaws, but nothing that is a deal breaker. It is true the navigation stays in dark mode when not in full screen, which is rather stupid, but if you are using the navigation, it typically would be full-screen. I think the only area that could be improved control-wise is the placement of the touch switches for the heating / air conditioning system. The touch buttons are small and close together and sometimes you inadvertently turn on or off a function without meaning to. There is a larger area for the controls to have been placed on the panel, and a better design would have been helpful, but again not a deal breaker. Sometimes the car decides on it's own to change your heating/air conditioning previous selection and either switch off the air conditioning or the vent selection, including whether you want outside air or not, and it's an annoyance, but most of the time it works as set. But other than these small annoyances, we are very happy with the car, it looks great, drives great, gets great gas mileage, and I expect it to be reliable and long-lasting, as was my 2013 Sonata Hybrid. It's not a Lexus obviously, and Hyundai doesn't offer the top level service that you get with a Lexus dealer, but it's acceptable, and the fact it comes with 3-years of free maintenance, and the super long warranty, I would encourage you to really consider the 2024 Limited Hybrid. It's worth the extra cost compared to a non-hybrid vehicle. And who knows how long Hyundai will be making this car. I hope they continue because I would like to see them finally upgrade the passenger seat power option and fix some of the nagging design flaws which others have mentioned, but overall it's a terrific vehicle and I am pleased with the purchase.

 

Might wanna let your salesman know that HomeLink is not installed, even on the Limited trim! You’ll need to go aftermarket OEM to get one for a 2020-2023 Sonata or (recommended as it’s much cheaper) get a used mirror from salvage on eBay.

Really surprised how many sales people have no idea about that. I’ve seen on multiple forums of how people were told there was HomeLink only to get the car home and find out there isn’t! Also, don’t believe anyone who tells you that you can program the BlueLink button to open the garage door. That WILL NOT work.

 

We have the 2022 Santa Fe Limited and both driver and passenger seats are fully adjustable. But the controls for a/c, radio, etc are a bit wonky to navigate and yes sometimes theba/c settings have changed after shutting vehicle off and restarting.

We have a 2014 Ford Edge Limited that my wife loves. Ford dropped the Limited trim but the Platinum which is the top line does not have features our 2014 has. We had a 2016 Elantra GT as a daily commuter when I worked 20 miles away. Now retired I wanted another full sized SUV and something with better milage for trips. The Edge has a V6, Santa Fe the 2.5 Turbo. Plenty of giddy up for me. Good on Sport mode for hills. She does bog a tad on ECO (Comfort) mode.

 

I think they are trying to keep the price point down. A homelink mirror is $1100 through hyundai parts. They don't have it for a 24 but I'm told it would work.

 

I thought that I could live w/o Homelink as one could link Alexa with Bluelink and open a garage door. However I quickly learned, as have others, that linking does not work. All attempts end with a reply that one should re-link the two. Apparently Hyundai is not interested in resolving this problem.

 

Forgot to update on the rear view mirror with home link. Bought a 2020-2023 home link one from eBay and works like a charm.

 

For how much did you buy? Can you share the link? I am seeing them selling for around $125, thought they will be closer to $75.

 

Just bought a 2025 hybrid limited and went to set the garage remote to find there is none. I was so ticked. Hat to take the spare from my BMW. What a inconvenience. Love the car but would have passed if I had done more research would have gotten the CT5 Cadillac instead. Oh well looked online and not paying 300 dollars for garage opener swap

 

Did you check eBay? Paid $120 a couple of months ago.

 

Ask the dealer to swap before you buy

 

I got one for my '25 Sonata Hybrid Limited off of Ebay. It was salvaged from a '22 Tucson. They were asking $95...I bid $70, and they accepted. The swap took about 10 minutes...including erasing the old codes and programming in the new one. It was plug-and-play and works perfectly. Now...if only the car had external WiFi capability and walk-away locking, I'd be fairly happy with it.
