Owners of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata midsize sedan with navigation as of today can get Android Auto smartphone integration for free without having to visit a dealer. The tech feature allows drivers to access their phone’s functions, such as calls, music streaming, calendar, navigation and other apps, without engaging in the highly dangerous practice of physically handling their mobile device. Previously available for download at dealerships, Sonata owners/Android users can now make the update from home.

When Android Auto is in use, the user’s phone screen becomes locked to dissuade the user from taking his or her eyes off the road, Hyundai stated. Familiar, easy-to-use interfaces also cut down on the learning curve for Android users, according to the automaker.
Owners can download the Android Auto software update by visiting a dealership or going to www.hyundaiusa.com/myhyundai and downloading it onto a USB memory drive. This requires users to register for a MyHyundai account and have the Android 5.0 “Lollipop” operating system or later, as well as to download the Android Auto companion app for their phone. The compatible navigation system with an 8-inch touch-screen is available on the Sonata Sport, Eco, Limited, Sport 2.0T and Limited 2.0T.
Hyundai earlier this year announced the launch of the similar Apple CarPlay for iPhone users on the 2015 Sonata, the first of its lineup to get the technology.
The automobile industry moves slowly. Even though Apple's CarPlay was announced a couple of year's ago, it's taken a while for the different car companies to push out updates. Hyundai recently made CarPlay available for more of its lineup, so I decided to download it and give it a go.
Updating for CarPlay was simple, and can be completed at home. From the time the initial download began until the time CarPlay was ready to be used was about 75 minutes. The process can vary in length depending on your internet speeds though, because the files you have to download from Hyundai are quite large.
To begin, you need to head over to Hyundai's site to grab the download file. You will also need to pop the Maps SD card out of your car and plug it into the SD card slot or card reader in your computer. Each file has to be downloaded and transferred to the SD card. Take your time.
As soon as the update is fully on the card, head to the car. Pop the SD card back in, go into the Settings, and fire up the update. The car does need to be running, and stay running, for the update to process, so make sure you are in a well-ventilated area before you begin.
Once you've got CarPlay installed, plug your iPhone into your car with a Lightning cable. After the phone is connected you will get a prompt asking if CarPlay can access the phone even when it is locked. Select 'Allow' and then you are set.
Apps that you have installed on your phone will appear on the CarPlay dashboard. Then, it's playtime.
The process is super simple, and the end results are pretty awesome. If you own a newer Hyundai, you should check to see if the CarPlay update is available and then get it installed.
