Hi everyone,

The radio in my 2010 i30 Estate is constantly cutting out and driving me NUTS!

I'd love to upgrade to a DAB stereo and potentially even work with my iPhone, if that's possible?

I don't have any experience of car electrics, so would be happy pay someone to install a new stereo.

Has anyone had a similar problem or have any advice for upgrading the stereo in a 10 year old i30?

cheers
Mark

If you don't mind paying for installation get a local car audio shop to install one of these units  :link: KW-M950BW?JVC Australia - Products -

There are other good brands like Kenwood and Pioneer which also have nice models so you should probably talk to an audio retailer/installer and get some ideas of what you'd like for your budget, new centre fascia and harnesses will be required for fitment which the audio shop should be able to sort for you.

In the meantime turn off TA (Traffic Announce) if its on - was a known bug that causes cut-outs on 2010 MY.
