Aha Radio will be a part of the next-generation infotainment systems
also debuting in the 2015 Genesis. Hyundai Motor America has integrated
the Aha Radio service into Genesis to give its U.S. drivers the ability
to access over 100,000 music, entertainment and news stations as well as
location-based services in an intuitive manner using their connected
iPhone.
“We are delighted to have Aha Radio featured in the 2015
Hyundai Genesis as part of our new infotainment systems. These
next-generation systems are much more intuitive for our customers who
already use their smartphones to enhance various aspects of their
lives,” said Cason Grover, senior group manager of cross-carline product
planning at Hyundai Motor America. “The new infotainment systems in
Genesis represent Hyundai’s latest approach to in-vehicle technology and
Aha Radio further enhances the Hyundai ownership experience.”
