Apple CarPlay® Arrives in 2016 Hyundai Sonata

by Heritage Hyundai Towson

Your iPhone® will have a new home in the 2016 Hyundai Sonata with the addition of Apple CarPlay® support. This streamlined technology makes it safer and easier to use your iPhone® in the car, providing integrated access to Phone, Messages, Music, Maps, and more.

Android™ users, meanwhile, will be supported with Android Auto™ integration. Both technologies are available on the 2016 Sonata's seven-inch Display Audio touchscreen as well as the larger eight-inch navigation system.

“Sonatas with CarPlay® are rolling off our assembly line in Montgomery, Alabama, and arriving at Hyundai dealerships nationwide,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, corporate and product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Not only is Sonata built in America, it also is built with a high technology experience in mind.”

CarPlay® is the natural choice when it comes to Apple apps thanks to Siri voice control, specially designed for on-the-road scenarios. But CarPlay® also supports other apps on your device, including:

Podcasts
iHeartRadio
Spotify®
Stitcher™
Audiobooks

CarPlay® is only the latest addition to Hyundai's innovative Display Audio System. The system also features a multi-use home screen with swipe-and-wipe functionality for accessing vehicle audio and entertainment features, HD Radio® capability, Pandora-link integration, and more.

When using your vehicle's telematics system is as easy as using your phone's, you may find yourself behind the wheel a lot more often. The Heritage Hyundai Towson team can answer your questions about the latest Hyundai technology and can even help you pair your device with your existing Hyundai vehicle.
