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.
