Welcome to Android Central! It's not official, but this article said "current 2015 Sonata owners will be able to update their cars with the smartphone interface." https://www.cars.com/articles/2015/...droid-auto-available-by-end-of-first-quarter/

According to Ars Technica, you have to take the Sonata in for them to update your head unit. Alternatively you can wait until "after summer" to upgrade yourself via USB.

Existing owners of the "2015 Sonata with Navigation" can stop by their local dealer for a software upgrade that enables Android Auto compatibility, and the car maker says "later this summer" owners will be able to do the upgrade at home by downloading the software to a USB stick. To run Android Auto from your smartphone, you'll need Android 5.0 or higher.

I would advise calling local dealers. Not all of them have received the update yet.

The update will be performed using a USB drive to put the new software in.
