July iDrive update
In good news for those of us still waiting for our cars, it seems as though vehicles built from July will have the version 5.0 update. This brings better graphics, UI redesign, but no gesture control, which is fine by me. Considering this will be my business/work/ car, this is great.
Read more here no word on Apple CarPlay, but who knows? At this rate when my car arrives in Dec, I'll be able to option a convertible, individual paint and interior, uber iDrive, X-Drive, some kind of hybrid system and some kind of upgraded engine. |

One more reason to sell my 2016.
If the speakers/sound still sucks then I guess I don't feel bad that I have the old system. That's the only upgrade id want.

Nope! It is part of the 'Executive Package' for $1,250 which includes the following:
Park Distance Control (rear) Rear view camera Speed Limit Info Heated Steering Wheel Active Driving Assistant Automatic high beams Keep in mind that US models do not have the sunroof option as well.

Check Bavsound. I've upgraded the sub-woofers with their Ghost Subwoofers in my M3 and there is a big difference in performance. Not sure if they have anything available for the M2 yet but they are a very reputable with excellent customer service and response.

Do you know if the new upgraded system uses DIRAC?

It's certainly got spacial relativity,not sure about special relativity though
Edit: I was being facetious in my previous post,I presume the sound system will remain as is. Last edited by Nine Lives; 05-25-2016 at 12:13 PM.. |

So for those wondering about a possible update to enable CarPlay on MY16, here are some good news:
Hyundai has successfully deployed CarPlay to older MY15 Sonatas without any hiccups or hardware upgrades. |

It's not Logic7, for starters. It's significantly underpowered. It uses DSP to mask frequency response deficiencies from the analog amp, among other things. The center channel speaker does not receive dedicated channel content; it's a sum of the left and right front channels, which kills the soundstage. And the ASD contributes significantly to both the noise floor and ambient cabin volume at highway speeds, to the point where both audio fidelity and white noise are affected. Bavsound speakers fix none of those things. Besides; there are better choices for less money and only slightly more installation difficulty.
