Hello everyone,
My radio head unit recently started acting up in my 2013 Hyundai i30, it would randomly stop playing music in any mode (radio, bluetooth, cd, usb) so I did some research and successfully replaced it with an ATOTO A6PF. Picking up a FP8120 facia unit and the APPO87 primary harness was all that was required alongside the ATOTO A6PF, anyway.
I knew by doing this I wouldn't have steering wheel control and I thought I didn't need it until I found myself constantly clicking the buttons whilst driving so now I'm after one and came across the Aerpro CHHY8C, but that would require me to actually do some wiring which isn't hard but not ideal because it also costs $100 AUD.
Then I found a video online about someone just simply wiring the steering wheel cable into their head unit and I was wondering if anyone had any experience just doing that? Because the ATOTO A6PF also has the option to set steering wheel controls.
Kind Regards, Q.

I did same as you, but opted for the upgraded harness as I couldn't be bothered/it looked pretty messy to test. But this

If your car is a GD i30 you can refer to pin diagrams HERE (https://i30ownersclub.com/index.php?topic=62824.0)
If it works out for you would love to hear!
