South Korea's Hyundai has become the first carmaker to offer Google's Android Auto system in its Sonata model.

Android smartphone users with a 2015 Sonata sedan can now ask car dealers to download the system for free if they have a vehicle with navigation.

It connects to the driver's smartphone and allows them to access apps like Google Maps by voice, steering wheel controls or a touchscreen on the dashboard.

The plan was first announced in 2014.
