Hyundai was the first to bring Android Auto to a production car. Many other car manufactures will bring Android Auto to their cars eventually, but don’t have any available to buy right now.
Hyundai’s 2015 Sonata already has Android Auto built in, but it’s not fully functional just yet. Today however, Hyundai is providing a software update that allows owners to get the upgrade.
We rarely see car manufactures provide software updates to car owners, but never allow the owners to install the update themselves. Owners can now decide whether or not they want to upgrade to the latest firmware.
Hyundai says the update should take less than an hour to install. If you are a 2015 Sonata owner and want to install the update you must first register your car at MyHyundai. Once that is done and you are logged in you can download the update, copy it to a USB, plug the USB into the car and the Sonata system will perform the update.

If you are not comfortable with doing the update on your own, all Hyundai dealerships nationwide are capable of doing it free of charge.
The update is actually available to more than just the basic Sonata. It can be installed on the Sonata Sport, Eco, Limited, Sport 2.0T, and Limited 2.0T models. The Sonata however requires the owner to have a Android phone running 5.0 Lollipop or later to use it.
