Take advantage of all the latest features and updates by keeping your Bluelink map & infotainment software updated to the latest version. With this guide, we’ll show you the three ways to do this: Over the Air (OTA), via USB, or with support from your local Hyundai retailer.

Over the Air (OTA)

Automatic over the air updates for IONIQ 5 & 6.

IONIQ 5 & 6 are the first Hyundai model in Europe to offer OTA functionality. This new functionality means you can receive future Bluelink map & infotainment software updates for the model automatically over the air, rather than needing to download and install them manually or having to visit a retailer to get them.
