Post by: Dazzler on March 22, 2017, 07:38:01: :welcum: Gee, I wasn't aware that some come over there without usb! That seems crazy for a 2013 model! We got USB in all models of i30 even 2007 ones and Bluetooth hands free in later FD and all series 2 (GD) models as well. Hopefully someone from Europe can answer your query.

Post by: The Gonz on March 22, 2017, 09:21:33: I would guess that yes you can mount a USB socket there and the stereo would have the right connection in the loom or back of the unit to accommodate it. Got any photos and details of the stereo unit?

Is it possibly hidden in the centre armrest behind the handbrake like our Aussie cars were?

Post by: chris_i30gd on March 23, 2017, 21:48:00: I had the same mp3 player like you. But my car has usb port below in the place of the sockets.

I have installed a new aftermarket cheap navi.

I propose you to buy a navi like this. It has usb port that can be installed anywhere, hands free bluetooth, navigation, android applications, video players etc. You can also sell the old mp3 so it will cost you very cheap :)
You can add also a reverse camera.

Regards.

Post by: Saiph on March 24, 2017, 12:22:00: I would Like to buy this one (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232056183070).
I am afraid of IF my steering wheel buttons will be functional.
I read, that some power supply flex must be reverted another way to canbas Like they are in chinas radios.

Post by: chris_i30gd on March 24, 2017, 15:42:41: I have the same unit as the link that you send me and I bought it from the same ebay seller ukkunfine.
The steering wheel button works in my i30 as it has adaptor into the package. It works like charm.

I didn't install it by myself. I gave it to a professional installer. He also liked the unit. No need for extra canbus.

Just tell the seller to send the item via normal post as he usually sends it via dhl.
It may have customs clearence.

I will send info How i install it, IF it will be delivered.

Post by: chris_i30gd on March 24, 2017, 21:22:31: Great, it will arrive, just the seller have a delay in sending it and it send it via courier.
But the unit is great at least in my car. I have it the last 20 days so its new
but its like a quad core tablet in your car.
