Hyundai Direct Download
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. Bmw tools inpa ediabas ncs expert software download for sale by owner. 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.

Hyundai has come through for Sonata owners who have been waiting for the Apple CarPlay feature the automaker promised more than a year ago.
A free downloadable update is available for properly equipped 2015 and 2016 Sonatas at MyHyundai.com
CarPlay is an increasingly popular feature that makes many smartphone features available through a vehicle’s touch screen and voice recognition. It reduces driver distraction, enhancing safety.
“I just completed the upgrade, and it’s working great,” Sonata owner Jason Springel wrote in an e-mail. The download is fast and easy, Springel said.
For less technically savvy owners, the update will be available for an installation fee at all Hyundai dealers in June. The fee will vary depending the car and how long it takes to upload the data, but Hyundai recommends $50. The update will take 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the vehicle.
The upload also works with properly equipped 2015 Genesis; 2016 Genesis, Elantra and Tucson, and 2017 Tucson, Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport models.
Hyundai also plans to roll out updates to CarPlay and Android Auto — compatible with Google phones — on other 2016 vehicles shortly.
