Android Auto and Apple Carplay finally available for Canadian models.

[Kylo Ren]

I just installed map update 11.5 and it added Android Auto to my car.
Mine is 2015 Genesis 3.8 AWD with technology package.

Does your Tech Package come with or without the DIS controller (or is it touchscreen)? I don't believe that the Tech Package in US and Canada are exactly the same.

 

[Kylo Ren]

In Canada, the tech package has touch screen only, at least for my model year. It has HUD but google map navigation does not project into HUD.

I called the map company and they said this does not apply to the Canadian 2016 Hyundai Genesis. Can anyone else confirm? I don't doubt Kylo Ren (despite what he did to poor Han Solo); but I'm concerned my Premium trim 2016 sedan won't get the same benefit.

Anyone else enjoying Android Auto?

As an update, I went ahead and purchased the 11.5 map update for my 2016 Hyundai Genesis Premium (3.8). It did install both Car Play and Android Auto.

Waze is just icing on the cake.

In Canada? Can you please provide a link to the map update you purchased?

You have the sedan not the coupe right?

I have a 2015 Sedan 5.0 Ultimate. Will this update give me Android Auto compatibility?

From what I've read, no. The hardware required for Android Auto/Apple Carplay doesn't exist in the Ultimate.

I am stoked about this, I will chat with the dealer today to see what's up. I am going to ask about this audio update as well. I will report back!

Correct! It is a sedan.

I mentioned this to my service advisor at Richmond Hill Hyundai and he had no idea if the updated maps for my 2016 Genesis 3.8 with Tech Package would include Android Auto / Apple Car Play. Both the service advisor and I asked the parts counter and they had no idea, I also called two other dealerships here in Toronto, Ajax Hyundai and Markham Hyundai and neither of them could give me an answer.

What dealership did you have this done at?

Not surprising they don't know anything about the car other than what is in the manuals. I purchased, downloaded, and installed it myself. It is straightforward.

Were they not offering to do the upgrade free of charge?

The promotional material for the genesis mentioned AA and ACP would be coming soon.

Is the only way to get this by buying the update for $175 USD?

Not sure. I didn't bother asking. It was a small price for a remarkable added usability.

Forget the free upgrade, I find the promises made by the dealership departments aren't worth the paper they are sent on. I tried that route.

Upgrade is free for Canadians now. Lots of Hyundais are on the list now.
