Vehicle functionality differs since some services call for particular characteristics, such a touch screen or GPS navigation system in the automobile. Hyundai Blue Link is a free standard feature that comes with most new Hyundai vehicles and is typically free for the first three years.

My Elantra Limited is a 2014 model. If you pay Hyundai a monthly charge, the display it came with can be upgraded to GPS navigation. You don’t have to pay for the navigation in my second automobile. Kind of Suckz, I’d say.
There isn’t an SD card port in the center console of your Elantra? I’m aware that SirusXM offers real-time traffic information that your GPS navigator may access, but SirusXM subscription is required. There is no need to pay a monthly fee because, as far as I know, our GPS just functions as a map and not in real time. The SD card containing the map data is all that is required.

Actually, the three products are referred to as Connected Care, Remote, and Guidance. Yes, you are required to pay for all three after three years.
- The fundamental Blue Link features, such as the app (not remote features, though), emergency assistance, on-demand diagnoses, etc., are included in connected care.
- Remote means, obviously, remote start, remote other things, recovered stolen vehicles, etc. As I read this, I come across a term referred to as “Scheduled Head Unit Software.” Do you suppose that signifies updates?
- Destination search, transmit to car capability, free map updates for built-in nav, etc. are examples of guidance. To be clear, you don’t need this package to utilize the built-in navigation system (if you have one). It is not necessary, but it improves the navigation.
Does the Hyundai navigation system require a membership?
The Hyundai Bluelink App’s Car Finder is accessible from the main menu. Use of this function requires a Bluelink Remote Package membership.
Does Hyundai have a navigation system?
All Hyundai vehicles bought in the US that have built-in navigation. How can I find out if my automobile has a GPS system? The built-in navigation system does not require the usage of any mobile phone device, unlike Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
How can my Hyundai be equipped with navigation?
- STEP #2: In the footer, select the Map Update button.
- SELECT “Navigation Updater” in Step #4.
- Choose a Windows or Mac software in step 5.
- Option 1 is to download and set up.
- Click “Next” after selecting “Hyundai.”

Has the Hyundai Tucson in 2022 had navigation?
A 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system with Android AutoTM and Apple CarPlay(r), HD Radio Technology, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and a Bluetooth(r) hands-free phone system is standard on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Additionally, all trims come standard with the steering-wheel-mounted audio and Bluetooth(r) controls.
The top, Limited trim comes standard with the BOSE(r) Premium Audio System, which is an option on the medium SEL trim. AM/FM Audio System is included with the base SE trim.
On the large 10.25-inch display, the Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor, both standard equipment on the Limited trim, provide a video stream. In the Tucson’s front, sides, and back blind areas, they look for other cars, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Hyundai’s navigation will it function without Bluelink?
According to a letter delivered to dealerships, Hyundai will stop supporting its Blue Link telematics technology in older vehicles after 2021, as was first revealed by CarsDirect. The business plans to disable the Blue Link systems in Hyundais with model years 2012 through 2016 on January 1, 2022.
The letter states that the 2G cellular service that drives the system will no longer be supported by the system’s network supplier, Aeris Communications. In effect, this implies that many of the Hyundais’ safety and security measures will be turned off. Roadside assistance, SOS emergency assistance, stolen car tracking, and automated collision warning are some of these services.
All 2012-2014 Hyundai models, the majority of 2015 models (apart from the Sonata and Genesis sedans with navigation), and the 2016 Sonata Hybrid, Equus, Elantra, Elantra GT, Santa Fe, and Veloster models without navigation are on the list of Hyundai vehicles with Blue Link that are affected.
The automaker responded to our request for comment with the following statement:
These wireless service providers, who are not under the authority of Hyundai or Hyundai Blue Link, maintain the cellular networks. The wireless service provider of the network that permits the use of 2G Hyundai Blue Link devices recently announced that it will stop providing 2G cellular network service by December 31, 2021, as a result of advancements in telecommunications technology throughout time. Any trouble this may create is much regretted.
It is, to put it mildly, intriguing that contemporary technologies in our vehicles, which we depend on every day, might be overnight judged obsolete. To that aim, a complimentary three-year Blue Link membership is included with all current Hyundai cars. It offers features like remote car finder, on-demand diagnostics and alarms, and remote start with climate control.
Hyundai does not charge for map updates.
The price of the map and software update plus shipping and handling is $25 USD* (or $30 CAD*)*. You also have the option to buy the product and have it shipped to you.
Customers of Genesis in 2018 and later are exempt from this cost.

If my Hyundai has Blue Link, how can I know?
Which Hyundai models come with Blue Link? The majority of Hyundai cars from 2013 and later are now equipped with Blue Link, which first debuted on the 2012 Sonata. Blue Link is not available in vehicles manufactured after 2013, such as the 2013-2017 Accent, 2013 Elantra sedan, and 2013 Tucson.
How much does updating a car’s GPS cost?
The quality of built-in navigation systems has increased recently, and they now provide more functionality for a lower price. (Nowadays, some systems just cost $500.) Factory-installed systems are better integrated into your car’s functioning and controls than portable GPS units are. They effortlessly integrate with the entertainment system, respond to voice commands, and have easy access to the contact list on your smartphone. However, maintaining those maps might be more expensive and time-consuming than updating a portable device or a smartphone.
Most built-in systems don’t automatically update themselves over the air with new roads, lanes, interchanges, businesses, or even traffic laws, such speed limits and left-turn prohibitions, unlike Google Maps on your phone. They also don’t provide regular one-click updates like the best navigation applications do.
Updates must instead be bought for a price ranging from $129 to $299 from the automaker, the dealership, or online. Additionally, there can be an additional installation fee. You could purchase a very fine portable GPS device with lifetime traffic and map updates for that amount of money. (See, for instance, the Garmin Nuvi 58LMT.)

In-car upgrades are becoming obsolete because to the integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on smartphones.
TomTom, a manufacturer of navigation systems, estimates that 18% of the roads on maps require upgrading each year. You can be using really outdated maps if you haven’t updated them recently. How can I find my way to a certain location, such a restaurant? Prepare yourself to improvise. According to Navteq, their database might receive more than 230,000 new points of interest each year. Therefore, having the most recent maps on your car is beneficial, and the holidays are a good time to consider getting an upgrade.
We advise visiting Navteq’s website first because it provides links to updates for more than 30 different auto brands. Direct downloads from Navteq can be used to install some updates. Others need you to enter your vehicle’s year and model and may direct you to your car manufacturer’s website, where you may download the necessary software or schedule a map update appointment at a nearby dealer. Depending on what your automobile needs, the updated map software is available on either a DVD or an SD card. Of course, hiring a pro to conduct the installation will increase the cost.
Every 12 to 18 months, according to a Navteq spokeswoman, maps are updated for each automaker. Most drivers find it difficult to justify upgrading maps so frequently when they cost more than $100 each. But it’s wise to budget for at least one, if not two map upgrades during your ownership period if you frequently use a built-in navigator and/or depend on it for occasional trips. We have observed specials being offered on maps from several brands during the holiday season.
You probably don’t want to take a chance by traveling by car for the holidays this year if your map is more than a few years old. Additionally, upgrading maps for a family member can be a thoughtful gift because they might not know how to do it. And if your vehicle’s system cannot be easily updated because it is outdated, you may still suction-cup-mount a new portable GPS device to the touch screen.
