Why can’t I connect to Apple Car Play wirelessly in my new Tucson. This is my first Hyundai and I am extremely disappointed I cannot connect CarPlay wirelessly. All other vehicles I have owned provided wireless play connect. This is so antiquated. Just because I have built in navigation should not prohibit the wireless connection. Please fix this with some type of IOS or Hyundai update. Please!
Yes, I was surprised it was dated October 2023.
The last digits of the software updates look like dates, in this case, 231215 - Dec. 15, 2023.
As we speak, I am using the Hyundai update software to download the huge update file (about 60 GB), which I am instructed to copy to a USB key to plug into the car, and then manually install. I will post my success or lack thereof.
I am having same problem I got Hyundai found out that the navigation system doesn't allow wireless apple car play. feeling sad. the navigation Hyundai put in there car is very useless and poor. I wish Hyundai would have choice between two.
if you find any solution for this please let me know.
I know they have release updated software in Europe for wireless apple CarPlay but not here in North America.
It won’t work if you have a built in navigation system which the higher levels do. At least that is the conclusion I have come to. After hours/days trying my dealer said they would take care of it for me. Their tech worked on it for an hour and half and Hyundai said my car didn’t have WiFi so it would t work. That makes zero sense and is wrong. No one at Hyundai customer care seems to have a clue either. The whole thing is so stupid. I literally had tears in my eyes when they told me they couldn’t get it to work but I have also been back and forth all winter due to a check engine light coming on 3 times. At least I think they got that fix. Not what I wanted to deal with spending 40k on a new car.
For now, try using a usb cable for it, ask your local dealer how to get wireless CarPlay to work. If you have iPhone 6s or higher it should work
There’s no wireless carplay. I just checked and even unpaired bluetooth and removed car from CarPlay. That update is the same update for other Hyundai cars not just tuscon.
Hi Linda, I have a 2024 Tuscon as well. We are supposed to be getting a software update for the car soon. I’ve read that the Kona 2024 has received the update first. It will be here soon. Hopefully this month.
You'll have a lot better luck posting on a forum dedicated to your car than you will here.
Guys I think we need to unite and bombard Hyundai with calls and emails weekly or daily if you have the time about making a wireless carplay update. This is getting ridiculous.
I have Tucson as well no luck. but if you check website for Europe you will be able to find update on there website
All this talk of the Kona getting the update led me to this page! I have the 2024 Kona and an update did come
through, however, wireless car play is NOT working for me. I have built in nav so was also informed (after purchasing…) that wireless CarPlay is not an option.
After the update, I unpaired everything and followed all steps and nothing. I also have an issue with wired CarPlay where Siri will not read messages, and when responding to texts music in the background is being recorded so random lyrics get sent 🤦🏻♀️ I’ve stopped trying to use my phone except for music in the car. Something is clearly wrong with CarPlay in the newest Hyundai models!
if anyone figures this out I’d love to know cause why should I have to go buy an adapter when I just spent 30k on a new car with the best trim level? Archaic! Even my 2017 Sonata had wireless CarPlay 🤣🤣
I agree. Archaic indeed. I was told an upgrade would be coming from Hyundai for my 2024 Limited to provide wireless Apple Carplay capability. After reading all the posts on this site, I decided to simply purchase the adapter, but I agree, Why should we have to purchase adapters if an upgrade was promised? Additionally, you received the upgrade, but it doesn't work. Not a happy camper either. This is absurd. If they can make it work on lower-trim Hyundais, just make it work on all Hyundais!

Well, what Hyundai doesn't know about usability would fill volumes.
I would do the same, however, I am leasing and just started the lease of a 2024 Tucson Limited in December 2023.
I am using an external adapter for Apple CarPlay which is working for me now. That said, the 2025 Tucson looks great. I love the redesigned dash and if Apple CarPlay is really working in the new model, it would be great.
Does the new model have Head Up Display and auto fold side view mirrors by any chance? That's what I really miss on this vehicle. I had it on my last two vehicles and those were great features.
I don’t think it’s for tuson yet. Kona has it.
