well here I am in my car with my android phone and that combination normally means some hodgepodge Bluetooth connection this new Sonata as we believe is the first production rollout of Android auto in an affordable car it all starts down here you cable your Android phone into the system as if you were gonna charge it let's say it's not wireless right now then you lose the phone look up here on the dash that icon just changed to Android auto when you press that you're about to enter the world of your phone but on the dash for example right here your home screen if you will it's kind of a Google now look at things you've done or looked at recently or irrelevant to where you are right now your round home button you recognize that from your phone your phone icon your nav icon hears music and here's a return to main screen if you get over here to navigation you recognize that interface that's Google Maps your google search box and this is live and connected through your phone plus the voice command to do that beautiful freeform search that we love that goes through the steering wheel AT&T Park San Francisco here is AT&T Park the beauty of this is that i can get to my google voice command just like on my phone i do it by doing a long press on the voice button of the wheel very much the way siri integrates in some other cars and of course the routing and traffic calculations the same ones you have on your phone this is just reflecting what's on your phone but notice it's not literally taking the whole screen and putting it there it's artfully translating it to the automotive experience and limiting it to these main hints of apps calling is very straightforward again touched a call nice big clear button interfaces as well to get things done on the touch screen over here under music it goes to your last streaming source from several on your phone and if you want to get to other choices it's got a drop down next to it here are some music services with more to come and here is a screen that right now holds nothing more than a return to the hyundai interface button but that's kind of a playground where other sorts of marriages of the car maker and the phone and android system can come together android auto is being installed in all the remaining 2015 sonatas coming off the line as long as they have navigation but you can also down low from my hyundai calm and as long as you're 15 Sonata has navigation you can update it also have Android auto and the cost is nothing
