Apple iOS integration into 2014 Hyundai vehicles

At its World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) today in San Francisco, Apple announced that its iOS operating system used by iPhones, iPads, etc., would be integrated into some 2014 models from Honda, Mercedes, Nissan, Ferrari, Chevrolet, Infiniti, KIA and HYUNDAI. This would reportedly include access to Siri for “Eyes Free” control of music, directions, and other functions, which would also be displayed on the built-in Nav screen. You would be able to display iOS maps from your iPhone or iPad rather than the ones currently used in SatNav systems. Examples given of voice controls via Siri include, “turn on Bluetooth,” “increase brightness,” and “play last voicemail.” This is just a brief recap, right after the event. I have no doubt that more detailed descriptions of iOS integration into Hyundai vehicles will be forthcoming.

The Genesis uses the Lexicon audio system, which I doubt will have those features for 2014 model year vehicles. Maybe model year 2015 when next generation Genesis will arrive.

I'd settle for basic streaming functionality.

I watched the entire 2-hour WWDC presentation this morning. They did emphasize "SOME" 2014 models, but they also clearly indicated that the iOS "Maps" could be displayed on the built-in Nav screen. Here is some text from 9to5mac.com:

Apple plans to move aggressively into the in-car integration space later this year, according to multiple people familiar with the initiative. Apple is working with car makers to deeply embed iOS’s Maps and Siri services into cars, according to these people. While companies sell accessories to place iPhone and other iOS devices on car dashboards for easy access to Apple Maps’ turn-by-turn navigation, Apple wants to break into the space with its own solutions…

According to people familiar with the plans, Apple is working with car makers on updated versions of car center consoles that could attach to iOS devices like the iPhone. Specifically, an iPhone could be plugged into a car and an optimized, redesigned version of Apple Maps will appear on the car’s built-in display instead of a proprietary GPS system found in many cars.

Sources have described this as a feature akin to a video-out or mirrored display representation of the iPhone’s Maps app onto the bigger screens included with most modern vehicles. ... With the iPhone connected, Siri would be used to control the Maps functions and other iOS features.

Last year, Apple announced a new “Eyes-Free” Siri service that allows users to connect their iPhone to their car and use Siri with the iPhone’s display turned off.

Here is a pointer to a video on YouTube that shows Eddy Cue of Apple describe "iOS in the Car."
