HOW TO

Thanks for confirming that, Ugly.

Damn. I was like a little kid waiting for the weekend to do the mod...

Ugly Mongrel · **Reply #61: May 17, 2012, 23:08:08**

No worries, mate. Hold ya horses. There are plenty of weekends left

Bitsumishi · **Reply #62: May 19, 2012, 00:01:45**

Heh. Well. Yes. I've pulled myself up off the floor where I was having my tantrum.

I ordered the replacement part yesterday which should arrive early next week. Then I can begin my countdown to the weekend...again.

BTW: Happy Birthday to you lot! From the interaction I've experienced thus far, this appears a very friendly and knowledgeable mob.

Ugly Mongrel · **Reply #63: May 19, 2012, 00:31:44**

Good luck. Let us know how the mod goes.

@agentr31 : excellent job

Please more info : I would like to paint in silver the plastic cover where the audio controls fit into . But is this possible only after the airbag removal and then remove the cover screws, without dismounting the steering wheel ? I see in the link that you did dismounted , it is necessary in my case ?

Bitsumishi · **Reply #66: May 23, 2012, 10:29:15**

Yep. Go back to page one of this thread and look at the first pic again. You have to remove everything to access the screw that holds the audio control in from behind.

This pic from agentr31 shows the screw and blanking plate from behind:

Yee-har! Audio controls added, tested and working.

I learnt a few 'traps for young players' doing this, so will post some pics and words as an adjunct to Agentr31's most excellent original how-to post.

Hi I mounted the Volume control on my i30 Classic but don´t work.
I read this:
"40 - re- program your radio, consult the corresponding page of your owners manual for your stereo on how to do this!!"

How can I re-program my radio? Do I have to go to hyundai technical service for this?

This posting is an addendum to the wonderful post from Agentr31 - without that original post I would not have tackled this project! Please use Agentr31’s post for FULL instructions.

Er, apologies are in order as I promised to post these pics waaaaay back in May 2012. Sorry, life got in the way...

Note: The only difference in my mod was I already had Cruise Control (RHS of wheel) so was adding Audio controls (LHS of wheel). I needed the 2L-500 cable (both audio and cruise controls), whereas if you are only installing audio controls and do not have cruise control you will need 2L-300 cable (audio controls only).

For my installation I did not need to replace the clock spring - 2011 model i30

Here is a pic of the airbag still attached to the steering wheel cover -

Here’s a pic of the steering column with the airbag removed -

Steering wheel removed from car with wiring disconnected -

Bitsumishi · **Reply #76: March 03, 2013, 10:40:33**

Steering wheel flipped over with back shroud removed to access wiring

Bitsumishi · **Reply #77: March 03, 2013, 10:41:08**

This pic shows how the wiring was routed

Bitsumishi · **Reply #78: March 03, 2013, 10:41:49**

Here’s the fitting (from rear) showing the blanking plate (refer to Agentr31’s pic 24 for front view of his fitting with audio controls fitted)

Bitsumishi · **Reply #79: March 03, 2013, 10:42:29**

Blanking plate removed - pesky little thing to remove!

Bitsumishi · **Reply #80: March 03, 2013, 10:42:55**

The lug is easily damaged, so be careful!

Dazzler · **Reply #81: March 03, 2013, 10:43:18**

Thanks very much .. Excellent stuff

Bitsumishi · **Reply #82: March 03, 2013, 10:43:38**

Here’s the old (installed) and new (at bottom) wiring
Because already had cruise, the cable I needed was the 2L-500.
It has two connectors, one for audio & one for cruise. This cable replaces the existing single connector cable that feeds the cruise controls.

Bitsumishi · **Reply #83: March 03, 2013, 10:44:33**

Audio Controls mounted and new wiring routed.

Bitsumishi · **Reply #84: March 03, 2013, 10:45:27**

Here’s pics of the upper and lower shroud after I repaired the lugs with SuperGlue. Lots of naughty words said when I originally tried to prise them apart! (Also see pics 1-5 of Agentr31’s post)
