Apple's CarPlay has already made its debut in the Volvo XC90 and we were wondering what happened to Android Auto. Well, it's finally here as Hyundai announced that the 2015 Sonata will be the first production car to come equipped with Android Auto.
There is hardly any difference in the way you use the Android Auto system and your phone because Google has managed to make the user interface similar. Besides Navigation, Android Auto also shows users personal reminders, suggested destinations, calendar appointments, weather information and music.
The usage is simple too and the owners have to have an Android phone which has a 5.0 Lollipop version or later with the Android Auto app. They also have to connect their phone to the car's USB port via a micro USB cable.
Currently, the update is available in the US and we will soon see this trickling down to other countries. In fact, Hyundai plans to introduce Android Auto in a lot many cars from their line up and we will see them go global with this idea.
