Hyundai implementeaza CarPlay in masinile lansate la sfarsitul acestui an

  Hyundai, unul dintre marii producatori de automobile, a anuntat in cursul acestei zile ca Sonata 2015 va fi prima sa masina in care va fi implementat sistemul Apple CarPlay. Masina va fi disponibila la sfarsitul acestui an pentru toti cei interesati, Hyundai evitand sa ofere informatii despre pret sau data exacta a lansarii, insa modelul ar trebui sa fie disponibil la nivel global pana la inceputul anului 2015. Cei de la Hyundai li se alatora unor producatori mult mai importanti precum Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz sau Volvo, altii urmand a implementa CarPlay in viitor.

  Pentru cei care nu vor fi interesati sa cumpere o masina cu Apple CarPlay exista alternativa utilizarii unei console dedicate, Pioneer si Alpine anuntand deja lansarea unor produse de acest gen.

NEW YORK, April 16, 2014 – Hyundai’s core interior design principles are safety, intuitiveness and simplicity. With these principles in mind, Hyundai will bring Apple® CarPlay functionality to the 2015 Sonata. CarPlay is the smarter, safer and easier way to use iPhone in the car and gives iPhone® users the features they want while allowing them to stay focused on the road.

Hyundai’s latest Audio Video Navigation (AVN) systems are already recognized for their beautiful, yet intuitive interface and advanced feature set. Our engineers took advantage of the vivid eight-inch touchscreen to integrate CarPlay for an experience that iPhone users will instantly recognize. A Sonata equipped with CarPlay, lets drivers have the ability to make calls, use Maps, listen to music and access messages. With CarPlay, Siri provides drivers an eyes-free experience by responding to requests through voice commands and can be easily accessed directly through the Voice button on the steering wheel. Using a Lighting connector, CarPlay works with iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5 running the latest version of iOS 7.

By integrating CarPlay into our core-volume Sonata, Hyundai is one of the first volume manufacturers to bring CarPlay to market and it will be available on 2015 Sonatas equipped with navigation later in the 2015 model year.
