Apple CarPlay has become a standard feature in most modern vehicles, allowing drivers to easily access navigation, music, and messages from their iPhone. However, traditional wired CarPlay requires a USB cable, which can be cumbersome and causes cable clutter.
Wireless CarPlay changes this by allowing your iPhone to connect wirelessly to your car’s infotainment system via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For those who already have CarPlay but still use a wired connection, the question of how to make Apple CarPlay wireless becomes crucial.

This guide will explain how you can easily upgrade from wired to wireless CarPlay and why wireless CarPlay is a must-have feature for 2025 Hyundai owners.

2. How Hyundai Vehicles Enable Wireless CarPlay Through OTA Updates

Hyundai vehicles are equipped with OTA updates (Over-the-Air updates) that allow car owners to receive wireless software updates directly to their vehicles. These updates can include system optimizations, security patches, and, most importantly, new features like enabling wireless CarPlay.

 

How to enable wireless CarPlay: If your Hyundai model supports OTA updates and meets the technical requirements for wireless CarPlay, you simply need to connect to Wi-Fi and follow the prompts in your vehicle’s infotainment system to download and install the update. Another method is to find the OTA upgradeable installation package in the car screen – Settings – Wireless Connection Background, but usually, this requires the help of car manufacturer engineers, who will send the installation package to the background, or perform online upgrades, such as entering a URL like http://192.168.40.1:XXXX/autoUpgrade_d.html

 

Operation Guide:
1. First, connect your phone to the box’s WiFi hotspot

 

2. On WeChat or in a browser, visit the link: http://192.168.40.1:XXXX/autoUpgrade_d.html

 

3. The phone will get an upgrade prompt interface, click to confirm (if the page does not respond, turn off the phone’s WiFi and try the above steps again)
