Certain 2015-2019 models can continue service after a software update. If your vehicle is eligible for a software upgrade, you will receive an email with instructions to update your vehicle software. You can visit update.hyundai.com to get the latest software update for your vehicle.
The Hyundai Bluelink devices in the affected vehicles require a 2G or 3G cellular network to access Bluelink services1,2. These cellular networks are maintained by wireless service providers outside the control of Hyundai and Hyundai Bluelink. Due to changes in telecommunications technology over time, the wireless service provider of the network enabling the use of Hyundai Bluelink devices in the affected vehicles has recently announced that it will discontinue 2G and 3G cellular network service by January 1, 20232.
As a consequence, depending on how your vehicle is affected after January 1, 2023, we regret Hyundai Bluelink on certain 2012-2019 vehicles will become inactive as a result of the network discontinuation and access to Bluelink services will be unavailable2. Additionally, other 2015-2019 models will become inactive if they do not receive an important software update. We have adjusted our Service Plans to allow affected Hyundai Bluelink customers to have the maximum duration of service until the network discontinuation for those whose services will become unavailable.
