The aforementioned variants of the Alcazar, along with certain other Hyundai models, are equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system that only supports wired connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The newly introduced adapter allows users to establish a wireless connection by plugging it into one of the vehicle’s USB ports. This ensures access to smartphone features such as navigation, music streaming, and voice commands through the infotainment system.
