Hyundai Expands Bluelink Store – Now You Can Personalise Your Car's Screen With New Display Themes
Hyundai Motor America has announced the expansion of its Digital Features and Services platform through the Bluelink Store. The announcement was made on May 20 2026 from Fountain Valley California.
In simple words Hyundai owners in the US can now download and install new display themes directly to their car's infotainment screen without visiting a dealership. Everything happens over the air through the Bluelink app on your phone.
Which Cars Are Now Eligible
The Digital Features and Services platform was previously available only on the Palisade and IONIQ 9. Hyundai has now expanded it to four more models. Here is the full list of eligible vehicles:
Vehicle | Eligible Model Year |
|---|---|
Hyundai IONIQ 9 | 2026 and later |
Hyundai Palisade | 2026 and later |
Hyundai Santa Fe | 2024 and later |
Hyundai Tucson | 2025 and later |
Hyundai Santa Cruz | 2025 and later |
Hyundai IONIQ 5 | 2025 and later |
Four Display Themes Available Right Now
Hyundai is currently offering four Display Themes on the Bluelink Store. These themes change the colours, graphics and animations on the driver display and infotainment touchscreen including startup and shutdown animations.
Nature
A calm and clean design inspired by natural elements. Good for people who want a simple and peaceful look in the cabin.
Hyundai Pony
A nostalgic tribute to the Hyundai Pony which was the brand's very first mass-produced car. The design was originally done by Italian designer Giugiaro and it was introduced in 1974. This theme is a nice nod to Hyundai's history.
PEANUTS Display Theme
A set of three themes inspired by Snoopy and the classic PEANUTS comic strip characters.
The design mixes road-trip imagery with family-friendly visuals. Good for families and anyone who grew up with Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
FIFA World Cup 2026 Display Theme
This is the newest and most exciting addition. The theme features the official FIFA World Cup 2026 logo alongside Boston Dynamics' Atlas and Spot robots which are Hyundai's robotic technology.
This theme is available completely free of charge for US customers. It can be downloaded and used until October 19 2026 which covers the entire FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament period.
How It Works
The process is straightforward. Eligible customers need an active Bluelink subscription and a user profile set up in their vehicle. After that they can browse the Bluelink Store directly in the app or on the Bluelink website, buy or download a theme they want and the feature gets installed in the car via an over-the-air update.
No dealership visit needed. No waiting. Just download and it appears in your car.
One good thing Hyundai has done here is that purchased features stay active for the life of the vehicle. If you sell your car the features transfer to the new owner automatically.
Note that Display Themes require the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit infotainment system to be installed in the vehicle. Not all variants of the eligible models will have this system.
Digital Features and Services require an active Bluelink subscription and Connected Car Navigation Cockpit infotainment system. Availability may vary by model and trim. For more information visit hyundainews.com
