Android Auto has been the hype of the automotive industry in recent months. It has been circulating the news channels as well as the internet, and customers are excited to get their hands on the technology. Although Hyundai is offering the Android Auto platform in many of their vehicles when they roll out of production, while some vehicles won’t have the capability. That is why Hyundai is offering steps for consumers to install it themselves.

Hyundai is offering 2015 Sonata owners that have the Navigation package the option to get the Android Auto software free of charge at MyHyundai. The software will also be available at dealerships across the nation free of charge. This is the first time the automaker has used the MyHyundai.com portal to offer customers free software upgrades. The update is easy to do and takes less than an hour to complete.

By offering the update through their customer portal, they are giving Sonata owners an option to do the update at their convenience. Letting them do it their way for tech savvy consumers allows customers the option to do it at home avoiding the dealership. For those who may not have the know how, or maybe just don’t want to do it themselves, they still have the option of visiting their local dealership and letting them do the work for them.

The Android Auto compatible navigation system is available on the Sonata Eco, Sport, Limited, Sport 2.0T, and Limited 2.0T models with an 8 inch touch screen. Consumers can also watch the how to video on YouTube. It is available on Hyundai’s USA YouTube channel. It gives consumers instructions on how to download the software as well as install it on compatible vehicles.

Owners must have an account with MyHyundai.com and if they need help setting it up, they can contact Hyundai to get it going. Hyundai provides detailed steps on how to complete the update and installation of Android Auto so drivers can enjoy the advantages of using the system. Not only can drivers use Google Maps to navigate, they can enjoy their playlists, voice commands, and much more.
