With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto becoming as ubiquitous in new cars and trucks as air conditioning and cruise control, some owners of older vehicles may feel a little left out of the technological loop. Fortunately for a number of Kia customers, the Korean brand is offering a software update that will bring the latest technology to some of its older vehicles?going as far back as the 2014 model year.

Limited to navigation-equipped models, the software can be transplanted into 2014?2016 Soul hatchbacks, 2015?2016 Optima, Optima Hybrid, Sedona, and Soul EV; and 2016 Sorento crossover SUVs.

Currently, the 2017 Kia Forte is one of the 10 least expensive new cars available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; consumers can purchase a Forte sedan with the technology for as little as $20,050.
