Hyundai’s Updated Blue Link Android Wear App Is Finally Released

Earlier this year at CES 2015, Hyundai showed off an upcoming Android Wear app called Blue Link. The idea of the app was to allow Android Wear owners who also happened to own Hyundai cars to be able to unlock their cars remotely via their wrists. The good news is that if Blue Link is an app you’ve been looking forward to, it is finally here.

The car maker has officially released the updated Blue Link app and you can go ahead and grab it for yourself via the Google Play Store and it should work with your Android Wear device. The app will allow users to lock/unlock their car doors, start or stop their car engines, flash lights, or honk the horn. It will be compatible with cars as old as the 2012 Hyundai Sonata.

According to Hyundai executive Frank Ferrara, “Blue Link subscribers and gadget lovers will appreciate a more convenient way to interact with their Hyundai vehicles. Now you can remote start your car with your smartphone, smartwatch, laptop, desktop or tablet. It is like being James Bond 007 or Scotty in Star Trek.”

The good news is that the app will not be limited to Android Wear as Hyundai has also confirmed that the app will play nicely with the Apple Watch upon its release.
