Android

Ford has announced that it is expanding the capability of its SYNC in-car infotainment systems with the addition of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 4G LTE, and new AppLink apps. The addition of CarPlay lets SYNC 3 users get access to Maps, Messages, Phone, and Music on their iPhone via Siri voice control or touch screen access.

Hyundai arrived at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with a new toy to share: a new Blue Link smartwatch app that allows owners of Blue Link equipped Hyundai vehicles to connect with their cars through their smartwatch a la Dick Tracy (or maybe I’m thinking of Michael Knight).
