Facelift i30N 10.25” Headunit Swap into Pre-Facelift i30N - Does it work? 

Besides directly from Hyundai or luckily on eBay, I have no idea - very difficult to come by

Hi, just wondering did you get any info on this ?

@@jamesfrazer4 I managed to replace it with succes, together with the USB plug. Didn't require any codes. Just worked. But a rewiring was needed. Apple CarPlay working fine.

@@henrikolsen5 thanks for the update

Hey mate, I did the upgrade on my Premium NA 2.0 4 CYLINDER i30 from 8 inch to 10.25inch. It works perfectly fine the annoying (battery discharging thing will come up) I also have an issue where my car interior light went completely off while driving on the highway and it came back on after turn the car off and on. The reverse camera is blurry compared to factory 8inch. Recently had an issue where the under revved when I turned it on and started shaking. I’m suspicious the 10.25 inch stereo is consuming too much power/ electricity compared to 8inch normal ones. I’ll keep you posted, I’m going to Hyundai dealer tomorrow to talk about the issues and I’m heading to battery shop to check battery condition, because i bought a brand new battery 2 months ago.

i’m also planning to do the same. Did you fix the issue?

@tqn403 yes I do, drop me an email if you're interested. And thank you!

@XxeXcEnZexX can't say for sure, only one way to find out really

Have you found a solution for that? I'm starting to investigate it, for sure we have GPS antenna/module missing, but do you know if there is anything more?

@@Choobaka 1. When choosing the frame, make sure it’s also from the facelift model. If it’s pre-facelift, the hazard/lock buttons have a different shape. 2. Android Auto/Carplay won’t work without changing the USB/AUX module. Cars with AA and Carplay have a different module with different connectors and cables at the back. Make sure to buy a new cable for this module, running directly from the module to the stereo. Additionally, you’ll lose the aux functionality and the illumination on the USB module. 3. Some functions won’t work plug and play. For instance, you’ll get an intermittent error related to the car battery. This is because a pin’s position changed, and the navigation system thinks the battery is low. It can be resolved from the navigation system’s service menu. 4. Cars with built-in navigation also have a different GPS antenna. Those without it won’t display the time on the navigation system (set via GPS). After starting the car, you’ll see the last position on the map before the navigation was disconnected. It recovers in a few seconds as it gets the location from the phone. In summary, besides the navigation, here’s what you need for full functionality: 1. Purchase a USB module + a special cable for Android Auto. 2. Get an aftermarket GPS antenna with an Fakra connector; it will function just like the original. 3. Buy a male-to-female adapter with pins specially designed for Hyundai from AliExpress.

@LyttonDesign it came with adhesive backing so it was as simple as cutting to size and then laying it down

I have no idea, but I highly doubt it

@zeple no, still there. Pops up when stationary every so often

Do you habe any idea why that pops up? Have the same issue

@hellraiser8067 have you done the swap also? If not, it pops up when you're using the screen with the engine off

Yes I did also the swap and it pops up

@hellraiser8067 I'm guessing it's because it's not getting a signal from the ecu which tells the headunit the engine is running

N or N line?

@@beaumunroe1827 Nline

The unit came from an N Line Premium, going to an N Line

@@fawsome001 i legit just done the same swap and no sound. I’m guessing it’s due to the extra plug on the premium head unit

@@beaumunroe1827 yeah I think the premium Models have have different audio specs which has an amp. I gave up and swapped back when I saw the price of the amp from the wreckers.

@jacekim98 it can, this can be toggled on or off in the settings

@@aSidney Thanks for your reply, Is there a function that doesn't work after swap?

@jacekim98 apart from the DCT related issues (i.e. Not able to set rev matching in N mode, acceleration timer not working, gear box temp not working etc) everything works. Can still adjust all aspects of N mode but rev matching. Blue link kinda works but not really and you get the battery drain warning when stationary. My guess is you won't have these issues if you swap a manual headunit instead

how?? I have same problem

@@loveallcars search for your model hidden menu and find out

​@@loveallcars did you ever find the issue

Nope, but given that it powers down after about 2 mins, complete none issue for me

@@aSidney ah ok yes that’s not too bad. In fact I’ve found my amplifiers stay powered up for 2 mins after turning the car off so I’d say it’s the same circuitry involved

@@aSidney last question, is the USB now working for CarPlay etc?

@gurujoshoz yep, works perfectly

@@aSidney thank you!

Bluelink initially didn't work but a few weeks after the last software update it randomly started working but it's function is limited: I've set it up but I cannot link my account to the profile as it can't send an SMS with a code to link them, and I can't use the remote control features to control the car's functions to lock and unlock or any of similar other functions

@aSidney what all functions working in bluelink?

@hasgard7714 can see the car's GPS location but that's about it

@@aSidney navigation works fine? Is there any change in cluster after installing the new headunit?

@hasgard7714 oh yeah the headunit itself functions fully (apart from functions to do with the DCT) there's no change to the guage cluster
