Engineering:Hyundai Blue Link

Hyundai Blue Link (also branded as Genesis Connected Services) is a vehicle system that uses a mobile app from Hyundai to allow the user to retrieve information about their vehicle and perform some basic remote operations. Blue Link functionality varies based on the type of vehicle, as well as the type of cell service modem the vehicle is equipped with. In the United States, the Blue Link system debuted on the 2012 Hyundai Veloster as standard equipment, and has become an available feature on most Hyundai models sold since then. The service currently costs $99 a year and can be used for roadside service, information about the vehicle's performance, and remote start, stop, lock or unlock their Hyundai automobile.

Connectivity

Smartphones can connect to Hyundai Blue Link over Bluetooth or a USB cable with the Hyundai Blue Link mobile app. The in-car Hyundai Blue Link software checks for updates wirelessly everytime the vehicle turns on, keeping the included applications up to date.

When Blue Link first launched, the connectivity was provided by a joint relationship of Aeris Communications, Inc. and Sprint Corp. On January 21, 2014 Hyundai announced it had selected Verizon Enterprise Solutions with integration provided by Opentext. The Opentext Business Network platform also supports other car manufacturers such as Land Rover/Jaguar, Daimler, Ford, General Motors and Mitsubishi. Hyundai announced that starting in 2022 model year 2012-2018 vehicles would not have Blue Link support due to the discontinuation of 2G and 3G cell service.
