Bluelink and Bluelink+ both offer the same services, such as being able to remotely start your Hyundai, lock or unlock the doors, schedule EV battery charging and more. The difference is in how you pay for them.

• Bluelink is available on most 2023 and older Hyundai models (except IONIQ 6) at a low monthly fee.
• Bluelink+ is available for the 2023 IONIQ 6 and new Bluelink-equipped Hyundai vehicles starting with the 2024 model year. It is not available on all models. Certain ELANTRA, ELANTRA Hybrid & VENUE trims do not offer Bluelink+.⁠
  Bluelink+ is available to original purchasers and lessees of new 2023 IONIQ 6 and new 2024 or newer Bluelink-equipped Hyundai models. Not available on all models and trims. Bluelink+ requires an active Bluelink account subject to the Connected Services Terms and Conditions. Bluelink features vary by model and trim. Only use Bluelink features and corresponding devices when safe to do so. Cellular and GPS coverage is required. Fees apply for map and multimedia over-the-air (OTA) updates after an initial three-year period of complimentary updates. Three-year term starts from the new vehicle date of first use. Features, specifications, and fees are subject to change. 

  Bluelink services rely on digital wireless telecommunications technology outside of Hyundai’s control. Bluelink is dependent on 4G LTE cellular networks controlled and maintained by third-party wireless carriers. If and when these networks change and/or discontinue service, or the underlying technology required to support Bluelink becomes obsolete, then the connected services will not work and Hyundai will be forced to cancel impacted subscription services.

Hyundai Bluelink+ is our connected car system that lets you remotely start, stop, lock, or unlock your vehicle, locate your vehicle, and access real-time diagnostics. It includes safety alerts, geo-fencing, charging management if you own an EV, and more.

You’ll just need your VIN (vehicle identification number located on the driver's side dashboard) and a credit card.

The mobile app supports both Apple Watch and Android Wear smartwatches like the Samsung Gear Live, Moto 360, LG G Watch and the LG G R Watch. Additionally, all vehicles equipped with Bluelink or Bluelink+ are supported by the smartwatch app.
