The Creta N Line N10 does not have wireless Android Auto, why?
Many potential buyers and tech enthusiasts have puzzled at the absence of wireless Android Auto in the top spec Creta N Line N10 variant. This is a feature that is becoming more common on cars across the price points and even on some lower priced models. And the discussion usually is around why Hyundai decided to exclude this useful feature from its premium offering. Some suggest it may be linked to Hyundai's BlueLink connected car technology which could be disrupting wireless connectivity options. Some suspect it's a cost cutting measure, or a technical limitation. It also tees off on whether this omission really is a deal breaker for tech savvy buyers and whether or not Hyundai plans to address this via future updates or model refreshes.
This is most likely because of Hyundai’s BlueLink system. I heard that it uses the same ports that would be needed for wireless Android Auto. It’s kind of a bummer, but I guess they focused on their own tech.
It’s really not a big deal, honestly. Just use a cable. Wireless Android Auto often is buggy, and it kills your phone's battery.
For sure, it's a weird omission. Perhaps Hyundai is trying to get people to use BlueLink instead? Either way, it’s a step backward for a premium variant.
It's probably just a software thing. They will probably add it in a future update. Recently, Hyundai has been good about adding features via OTA updates.
It is annoying, but there are workarounds. You can buy a wireless adapter that goes into the USB port. It’s not ideal, but if you really want wireless, it gets the job done.
