The 2023 Hyundai Palisade is the first Hyundai model to launch In-Car Wi-Fi, which provides Hyundai vehicles fast, secure in-vehicle internet access.

Hyundai owners no longer need to use their own smartphone for a hotspot – they can now purchase a data plan through Verizon to add in vehicle support.

With In-Car Wi-Fi Hotspot, Hyundai customers can connect up to 5 devices. This allows passengers access to social media services, gaming apps, streaming music and movies or even allows you to work while on the road.

Hyundai Bluelink subscribers are eligible for a 3 month or 3GB free trial (whichever comes first).

An active Bluelink subscription is required (complimentary for new original vehicle owners).

How to activate the free Wi-Fi Hotspot Trial

Upon purchase of your eligible Hyundai vehicle, your Hyundai dealer will complete the steps to enroll you in Bluelink via MyHyundai and your Wi-Fi Hotspot Trial powered by Verizon will be automatically enabled.  If your dealer did not complete your enrollment at the time of purchase, please visit Welcome to MyHyundai | MyHyundai (hyundaiusa.com), select register and follow the steps to create your MyHyundai account and add your vehicle.

Owners of eligible Hyundai 2023 IONIQ 5 vehicles that have received the 2023 Map Update will receive an automatic email invitation once their vehicles are eligible for the Wi-Fi Hotspot trial. Simply click on the link in the email and follow the instructions to accept the Terms and Conditions. Your free Wi-Fi Hotspot Trial will then be automatically enabled after approximately 24 hours.

You will receive an email confirmation when your trial begins, when you have used 10% and then 50% of your allotted 3GB of data, and finally when your trial has ended. You can click the links on the final emails or select 'manage subscription' in your MyHyundai.com account to be directed to the Verizon website where you can activate your paid subscription to Wi-Fi Hotspot.
