Hyundai BlueLink Debuts at CES

[Keith Griffin]

While the outside is under wraps, the inside of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis is going to debut at CES in Las Vegas to show off all the changes to BlueLink. What do you think of the changes coming?
Pretty important for the Genesis to be rolled out early, even if it's only the interior don't you think?

I commend Hyundai for updating BlueLink to be as full-featured as the best in the business. This isn't a slap against Hyundai or anything, but I find that despite the fact that my wife's Fusion also has many of these features (basically everything from SiriusXM on down), for things like movie times, fuel prices, weather, stock ticker, etc, we still just use a smart phone. This is why in the past, I'd made the suggestion that a smart phone should be able to "run" the monitor in the car.
