My Tucson PHEV (registered August 2024) came with Bluelink Pro, but it expires on 02/10/25, which is just under 14 months. Very odd timescale. I find it pretty useless, so barely use it, but some of that is probably down to user incompetence, although there are lots of glitches.
Like @kezo one frustration is that range (particularly EV range) sometimes shows in km rather than miles, even though both the app and the car are both configured as miles.
Sometimes, like @Rhodgie if I’ve had my phone switched off, it doesn’t connect with the car when I next get in it (with the phone back on), but it seems to have sorted itself out the next day without me doing anything?
My biggest bugbear with the car (other than all the ruddy bings and bongs) is that I use Amazon Music and it is beyond hopeless in the Hyundai. It almost never works as it should. The car was serviced last week and had a software update. Sadly, it did not help this issue. As to whether that’s down to Bluelink, Amazon Music or Apple Car Play (or a combination) I have absolutely no idea, but I end up just listening to the radio and wishing that the car had a CD player!
The only areas where I find Bluelink to be remotely useful are the alerts when the car has finished charging and if I’m going somewhere new the next day I look it up on the map function on the app and ‘send’ the destination to the cars sat nav. I find that works well.
I suspect that with an EV there are extra functions that might be more useful, but I won’t be paying for anything after 2nd Oct, I’ll just use whatever it defaults to.
