Hyundai Lets Drivers Upgrade Their Cars Software Using Smartphones

By TechTaffy Desk

Hyundai is adding smartphone integrations to several existing models, via do-it-yourself installation. The software update compatible with CarPlay and Android Auto is available for free through MyHyundai.com.

The software will also be available at Hyundai dealerships nationwide for an installation fee, starting in June. To complete the software upgrade, owners need their VIN number and a USB memory stick or the SD card from their Navigation system.

This is not the first time Hyundai has made a software upgrade available using the MyHyundai portal. Last year, Android Auto was offered to 2015 Sonata owners.
