Hyundai models with Google Home can be seamlessly connected by linking a customer's Blue Link Account with the Google Assistant voice activated services. This will allow the owners to give instructions to the Google assistant to find places and navigate, to close and open the window, to adjust the temperature, etc.

For example, if the owner wants to start his Hyundai Ioniq, the owner simply needs to say "Ok Google, ask Blue Link to Start up my Ioniq," and the assistant will respond by asking owner's Blue Link PIN. Once the pin is confirmed, the car will start.
