At the top of the year, Hyundai unveiled support for their Blue Link for Android Wear. We got a chance to see a little bit of it in action at CES. Earlier this week, the Apple Watch joined the party.
Access to their app via smartwatch grants users to control select car features like remote start/stop, door lock/unlock, car finder, vehicle status and more via touch or voice control. So that means you can now hit the mic to send commands like ‘start my car’, ‘lock my car’, or ‘find my car’. These features are made to be utilized while out side and not inside of the vehicle.
Blue Link is their native in-car infotainment system as the automaker supports Android Auto and Apple’s CarPlay as well. The app has been updated to support cars as far back as the 2012 Sonata. So you don’t need the brand-spanking new one to take advantage of this feature.
