Hyundai Apple CarPlay allows drivers to integrate their iPhones with their vehicle's infotainment system for seamless access to apps, navigation, and media. Whether through a wireless connection or USB cable, Hyundai makes it easy to stay connected while on the go. Here's how to set up Apple CarPlay in your Hyundai.
Hyundai Apple CarPlay Key Features
Apple CarPlay brings several key features to enhance your driving experience in a Hyundai. You can access Apple Maps, Siri, music streaming apps like Spotify and Apple Music, podcasts, and hands-free texting through voice commands. Apple CarPlay mirrors your iPhone's interface on the Hyundai's display, making it simple to use navigation, messaging, and entertainment apps without taking your eyes off the road. Additionally, Siri can provide traffic updates, send and read text messages, and make calls-all hands-free.
How to Connect Your Hyundai to Apple CarPlay

Wired Apple CarPlay Setup
For models without wireless support or if you prefer a wired connection:
