I go with Apple CarPlay. No problems. GPS is Waze… music from my phone. Easy peaky .

I basically listen to Sirius XM Radio and it's very difficult to use through Android Auto and I would imagine Apple Car Play is the same.

Ever since I purchased my Palisade I have been beyond disappointed like many at the lack of functionality on the infotainment system. Because of my job I have access to names and phone numbers of executives from many companies. After many C-Level Executives from Hyundai ignoring me for quite some time I received a call from a Director in the Display and Navigations division. I do not know how much everyone wants to know but they say they make their design decisions based on a consumer group in Korea. That group thought presets in numerical order was a prefered method. The reason for lack of album art, numbers instead of logos in the presets for SiriusXM and many other options that most infotainment systems have in today's cars is they thought it would be safer not to have these features as having them would take your eye off the road. I would argue it does the opposite but that is why our radios are so bland.

The gentleman I spoke to said he agrees with everything I said. He stated North America does not get much say into these decisions but they are working on changing this. He guaranteed the April 2022 update will bring back presets in the order we choose and there might be a complete redesign but he would only commit to the presets changing.

I was on the phone with him for about 30 minutes so if you have any other questions let me know.

Thank you for that information. I am extremely disappointed with my navigation and other functions. One for instance is I can no longer get Sirius XM traffic and weather which I really like. I can't tell you how many times I put in an address and it asked me to confirm the address and then says no network connection. Really frustrating when you're out of town. I have a 2021 Palisade limited and I'm seriously considering trading it in on a Ford Explorer where they're navigation and radio system works

I came from a 2020 Ford Explorer to the Palisade. My car was bought back by Ford under my state's Lemon Laws. It was my 3rd explorer and by far the worse car I ever owned. There have been 11 recalls on the 21's already. While I agree Ford Sync while flawed is completely superior to the Hyundai Navigation/Infotainment system but there are other problems that should scare you from the Explorer.

Thanks for that information I guess I'll just stay with my Palisade for the time being

I am not confident but hopefully April's 2022 update will bring some major changes or at least changes that meet most other systems on the road today.

Updating your infotainment system will resolve the no network connection, more than likely.

Hyundai gets weather data via Blue Link as of 2020. It’s been pretty accurate. Better than what I had with XM on my older Hyundai.

Traffic comes from HD radio (and the internet when planning a route), not XM. This is because Hyundai has an agreement with a company called HERE that provides that data. I have seen the built-in nav re-route me because of traffic seamlessly. It doesn’t tell you that, but it does do it.

It’s unfortunate that the radio screen is as bad as it is, both design-wise and functionality-wise, but the rest of the Hyundai infotainment system is more than competitive with Ford or anyone else. They’re always ranked among the best out there.

I found it too. Rerouting feature is much better than google maps. Traffic data is more accurate than any other service I used.

I'd be ok without a full screen AA if I could have the SiriusXM display on the right third of the screen instead of just a useless AA logo and the name of my phone.

This morning, I finally got SiriusXM to play while still having AA Map on the screen. Only had the car ('22 Limited) for 5 days, but I feel like I did the same thing I've been doing the previous days and it just magically worked today. Quite clunky.

How did I miss this thread. I’m annoyed by the forced numerical order of presets as well. SUPER annoyed when you press the steering wheel button “UP” to move up in your presets, it goes back. When you press “DOWN” it moves forward.

You can have the radio information to the right of AA… you need to make sure you have split screen enabled.

Setup > device connections > Android Auto (phone projection). Make sure you check enable split screen.

That will ensure you have some Hyundai UI on the right 1/3 when using AA and you won’t be wasting that space. Swipe vertically through the different stock elements (radio/map/weather/compass/etc) to choose what you what.

I am annoyed, there is no maps on the instrument cluster.

Secondly, Android Auto goes Full screen yet or no? What about Wireless AA?

Despite the potential of a screen rather than traditional gauges, there is not much customization available for the instrument cluster.

Android Auto is not full screen, even as of the latest update.

There is no wireless Android Auto on the 10.25” infotainment system with navigation. You’d have to get some aftermarket adapter like AA Wireless.

I am not confident but hopefully April's 2022 update will bring some major changes or at least changes that meet most other systems on the road today.

One thing to ask for is a full change log whenever they release updates.
Some of the things they update are weird. For example prior to last update all the screens would show your profile name and icon at the upper left side. After the update they no longer show that except for one of the screens that has shortcuts to Setup, other sections, etc...What is their rationale for removing that from all other screens?

Lastly, maybe you can reach out to the exec in charge of BlueLink next because that system (app) is very inconsistent. Different options / views for different users but same vehicle. Different options for different vehicles even though logically they should be the same. For example - I have one BlueLink app and 2 cars - Palisade and Santa Cruz - the Santa Cruz screen shows the fuel % remaining in BlueLink app but Palisade does not. Then some Palisade users have a Lock and Start option in BlueLink and others like myself do not.

Hi Guys,

I created a thread but it got deleted. Not sure why. I am new here, so please bear with me. I am trying to explore and maximize the potential of our beloved Palisade.

Just heard that Full screen Auto is coming, someone posted this pic from a korean Forum, its showing Music Player, but this is not the car's player, correct. Expecting the same for US Cars:

In addition, i have seen a Video posted, showing customized Infotainment Head-unit set-up, which uses Apple Pie mini device. This device bypasses the head unit's interface. The car thinks it is connected to an iPhone, but the ApplePie Mini is just using the CarPlay protocol to create the interface for the Android operating system on the ApplePie unit.

It then loads Android Interface and you can basically do anything. This is shown on a Sonata

I am not sure if anyone have tested these, and would love to know your feedbacks and tips to improve further.

 

[Mr. P]

I wouldn't hold my breath. There are many things that are released on the Korean models that don't make it anywhere else. It's a wait and see.

 

[John B]

how about calendar? I see NO WHERE with the Nov'21 update to sync the calendar and infotainment display always tells me to contact support for the calendar.

Hi All,

I spoke to the same executive today. The April software update is going on their test cars next week. He has 100% confirmed that we will have the ability to set the presets in any order we choose. He said the current pictures he has received do not show the electron/vacuum tubes but he cannot confirm the decision to remove them is final. I asked about other features that may come and all he would tell me is there are a 100 different items they are testing out but some or none at all could make the April update. I offered to beta test the software but he politely said no. 🤣

I wish the vaccum tube design stays, it looks amazing

I respectfully disagree, To me it is a waste of space that can be so better utilized with album art, Sirius XM logos. But that is just my opinion.
