For owners and drivers of a Hyundai vehicle, there are benefits of ownership. These include using an iOS or Android app to control some aspects of the vehicle systems including being able to start the engine, lock doors, and more via their Blue Line smart phone app.

In the latest innovation from the company they have developed an Android Wear app for the line of wearable watch devices which will allow the driver to start the engine without the need to fumble around in the dark to locate the car key and then find the ignition slot. You will just be able to instruct the watch to “start my car” and it will start the engine for you. There is also the option to “lock my car” which can be done after closing all the car doors and walking away.

The engine can of course be turned off by telling the wearable watch app to do so and the doors can be unlocked by voice command when you return to the vehicle to drive home again. There are also other features like being able to honk the horn as loud as you want or to flash the headlights to get someone's attention. Should a driver be unable to reach the controls for whatever reason this voice command app from Hyundai could be very useful indeed as long as they're wearing their smart watch.

The magic is all performed via a Bluetooth link to transmit the actions. Theoretically there is no restriction to how far away one can be before a message cannot be transmitted; a data connection is all that is required. The Blue Link system came out in 2012 and features in the 2015 models from Hyundai like the Azera, Genesis and Sonata vehicles.
