This is what a tech dive should look like... not sure how much control or say you have in the content specifically, Emme, but kudos either way - much better in terms of both content & delivery than some of the other embarrassing "tech exploration" Roadshow has put out.

My 2018 sonata sel tech pkge has adaptive cruise control, emergency brake, active lane keep , and driver attention warning.

[@Sjrick]

ok one question. I stumped a few car sales people with this one. The usb in the front compared to the usb in the rear. The one in the rear is just a charging port while the one in the front is automated to the head unit. If i plug in a usb flash drive in the front, it is seen and loaded. Most guys didnt know this. Did you ?

[@TommyG11814]

Rear port is charging only

[@stupid8911]

Great job, Emme! I've been a fan since The Fast Lane. The UI seems extremely smooth and easy-to-use while looking great, thanks for showing that in-detail. Quick question, did you happen to check out the power output from the USB when a phone was connected? Some Roadshow contributors have noted that Hyundai/Kia vehicles do not give good power to devices while connected (?). By the way, what an awesome beach background!

Wait, it steers you back into your lane? My '17 doesn't do that.

[@Major_Mason]

Excellent review. Yea, id definitely use Android Auto with it.

[@TommyG11814]

Wrong, the 2018 sport plus has adaptive Cruze and lane keep assist, with pedestrian recognition and emergency braking. I have it and love the way it all works so well

[@JWard2]

Hi Tom, does it keep you in the middle of the lane when using lkas? Cause my Chevy ping pongs me from one side to the other. I don't like my Chevy lkas

[@DeusEx.Machina]

Anybody had problems with the sound ?

[@JohnFT3414]

When is Hyundai/Infinity going to come out with an update for the radio in The 2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T? I bought one at the end of last year, and the TREBLE control doesn't work on the radio! The slider goes from -10 to +10, but there is no change in the high frequency sound, like there should be! And it isn't just my car, it is in every 2018 Sonata Limited 2.0T! I check them at a dealer, and the cars that I tried the radios in, the treble control didn't work either. So when is Infinity going to come out with an update for the radio? They have horrible quality control! The BASS and MIDRANGE controls work, even though I would prefer to have the midrange frequency higher, say 3kHz. It is too low in frequency to do any good in improving the sound. Where is the update for the radio?

How funny that they pull up behind a new Ridgeline

[@East17A]

guys please i have never ever used my Navigation of the phone . !! and i always search for the vehicle that has. its own navigation system. you can't trust your phone all the time to have connection. so always try to have both of them . so if one doesn't work. than you have the other as a backup. !!

Why is BMW charging Apple Car Play? Is it free in other brands?

[@brockwalls1413]

Tony Yayo Because they’re dickheads. It’s basically standard on a lot of cheaper cars like this one, and it’s 100% standard on the Chevy Spark FFS.

[@hbk92701]

Because BMW will nickle and dime you for everything. Car Play was free on my base level 2016 sonata.

[@GaryKetchum808]

Emme looks like she just came from Christmas. Also the Ui on the Sonata looks clean and responsive.

[@beau_croom]
