The
2015 Hyundai Sonata is the first vehicle
to receive the Android Auto
update — and we take the updated infotainment system for a spin.
Android Auto may have been
first announced a year ago, but it wasn't until recently that it was actually
available for the masses to get their hands on. Several car manufacturers have
committed to bringing the Android
Auto update to their vehicles, but Hyundai was the first one to get it out there.
Hyundai recently
announced that the 2015 Sonata
would be the first car to receive the Android Auto update, so naturally we had
to head to the dealer to get our system updated.
From
start to finish, the process takes about 30 minutes to complete, and then you
are ready to use Android Auto. We have already seen Android Auto in pretty great
detail, but check out the gallery below to see some additional shots of the
Android Auto update on the 2015 Hyundai
Sonata.
The
update is made available to dealers on a USB drive that simply plugs into the
vehicle to update. Later this year owners will be able to download the update
themselves, and install it, but until then you will have to head to the dealer.
Once the stick is plugged in, all the dealer does is head into the settings and
update the system much the same as you would install an OTA update.
Once
the update is complete, you do have to go back into the settings and enable
Android Auto, before you can make use of it. After this you just need to plug
the device in via USB, and have the Android Auto app
installed on your phone. From here it will walk you through a basic set up and
then you are good to go. If you own a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, be
sure to call your local dealer to schedule an appointment to update your system
to enable Android Auto.
