So Carplay...
Beyond bringing an undoubtedly limited choice of music and navigation apps to the vehicle, what's the big deal? Anything social networking related will likely get barred as soon as the first person dies because of Facebook or Twitter
My relative owns a 2015 Honda Civic and was hoping his car was backward compatible with CarPlay. He called Honda customer care earlier this year and they told him yes it would be. Now, we know they lied. Only the 2016+ Civic/Accord models get it. Given how aggressive Hyundai has been in the market the past few years, it's possible they told you the truth, but when you look at all of the other auto companies, basically if your car/suv didn't have CarPlay when you drove off the dealer's lot, you're not getting CarPlay unless you install some third-party setup yourself.
You clam I'm wrong, and then you note I'm correct because they can submit apps… which is how the App Store works. The developer certainly has to jump through Apple's hoops to be approved. This is how it's been since it began.
Now it makes sense. You took offense because he used the word cheap in relation to something you own. Nevermind the fact he was saying it's a good thing CP/AA aren't exclusive to luxury brands or only top trim levels. If, as you say, you understood his context then there should have been nothing to complain about. Enjoy your car. No one was denigrating it or Hyundai.Oh, I get his context, but his base assumption is a fallacy. For starters, he uses the term "affordable" which means absolutely nothing in an scientific sense as it's not definitive. This is why you may see Hyunai advertise their Genesis as the most affordable car in its class. See how that's qualified, but take a look at the Genesis prices. There are plenty of other automobile companies that sell less expensive cars. If Henry is trying to argue that Hyundai gives you a lot of car, with good quality for a given price, compared to others in its class, he's doing a piss-poor job of it. I've already stated on the first page that I think you get a lot for what you pay; I know this first hand, which is why I bought a Hyundai in 2013 and will consider buying one again, despite many here being against anything from S. Korea.
It's a huge money spinner for wreckers/repairers.
It's a nice way to combine navigation and call/messaging between the car entertainment unit and phone. Instead if people having to buy a number of units , car play gives you all the functionality in one.
It's not about Hyundai telling the truth. Hyundai advertised, in writing, Carplay would be available in the 2015 Sonata's equipped with navigation systems. Not coming through with this promise is false advertising and they could face legal ramifications.

I believe they will be releasing CarPlay to the 2015 models, as there is nothing to suggest they're going back on their word.
