Stay ahead with seamless software updates.

Hyundai’s Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates keep your vehicle up-to-date, no dealership visit needed. When a new update is available, your vehicle downloads it automatically and notifies you via the infotainment screen. You choose when to install it. Just ensure the vehicle is parked and inactive, as it can’t be driven, charged, or accessed via the Bluelink™ app during installation. The process may vary in time depending on the update. Once complete, you’ll see a confirmation on-screen with a QR code for more details, or you can check the update info online. It’s a simple way to ensure your Hyundai always performs at its best.
