This is an awesome guide, can't wait to do it. Just a quick one - I read somewhere this might not work with GD premium models with Navigation already installed? Is this correct?I guess it should be possible :undecided: though you would likely require a GD03 head unit with satnav (if there is one :undecided:) as the unit fascia's are a different fit between the non and included satnav version, someone with more knowledge in this area will hopefully add their thoughts.
Also wanting to get AA in my 2012 Premy, how do you ID a GD-03?
Thanks for the quick response mate. I don't believe the GD03 came with Sat Nav as it would just use the maps on your phone (I remember reading this somewhere but it may not be correct).This is an awesome guide, can't wait to do it.

Here's a pic of mine which looks like it might work (hopefully). (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171010/07491e3d8da0a8adb2c1d507ff703782.jpg)All I can say is that when asking wreckers for a GD03 unit they always asked with or without Satnav
Ahh I see what you mean. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll do some research to see if there's a fascia that could make it work.Here's a pic of mine which looks like it might work (hopefully).

If you look at the lower section of your unit fascia it is a different shape to the non Satnav models.
Also wanting to get AA in my 2012 Premy, how do you ID a GD-03?They’re out of late 2015 to 2016 models and have no CD player, they also have a sticker on the back of them which says GD03 :)
Can you just buy one of these headunits from eBay and it will work or is there some sort of radio code or pin that needs to be input? I notice that some sellers are mentioning there are no radio codes and the unit may need a Hyundai dealer to unlock.No code was required when I upgraded the GD01 to a GD03 unit, easy change over :)
Thank you so much for posting this. Your step by step photos and instructions are brilliant! I'd love to do this, and upgrade my head unit to have Apple Car Play/Android but all those instructions leave me terrified. Might have to be nice to the husband and sweet talk him into it... :D
I'd like to try it myself, and learn something new, but to be honest, it's a tad scary :lol:
If I can't obtain a head unit from a wreckers, can they be purchased from Hyundai? Or anywhere else?
Again, thanks so much for this.
About to join the GD-02 to GD-03 club.
Ordered a unit from Stanvac Korean Auto Wreckers in Adelaide stanvac.com.au for $350.00 for the lot (Headunit and USB/AUX Connections).
Arrives tomorrow at the office (as I am having it couriered). I will update you with how I go with it.
Great work on this diy!It all works as VTH has explained, steering controls work and Apple Play/Android Auto functions via the USB connection.
Does all the steering wheel controls still work fine?
Does apple car play connect via USB?
Really not fussed with the aux, but was there anything that needs to be done/modded similar to the pin removal?
Once again to VTH, your a legend for your guide to change gd01 with gd03, thanks to Stanvac wreckers again, upgraded the gd 01 to gd 03 as the 01 stopped working a couple days ago making my 2.5 hour round trip to work and back very boring , half hour to install and heaps better sound quality...Where did you bought the wire?
I just wanted to say that the part number tag was still attached to the USB lead I got, could come in handy for anyone who is looking.
USB lead P/No: 96595-A5000.
Enjoy, I am...

Installed mine today but when I play music on usb the left tweeter make some clicking/ popping sounds. I am using an iPhone and this occurs only when usb is used. Bluetooth and radio sound works fine.

Mine does this occasionally as well, thought it might be the lead though changing it had no effect.Installed mine today but when I play music on usb the left tweeter make some clicking/ popping sounds. I am using an iPhone and this occurs only when usb is used. Bluetooth and radio sound works fine.

Sounds like the USB lead might be dodgy? :undecided:
I am thinking if that occurs because of the aux which is not connected to the radio therefore there the aux/usb assembly is not grounded?I don't think AUX would have anything to do with it as it's a completely separate line :undecided: there's no interference when using maps, only music which is very odd and only happens now and again.

But my gd-02 was working without any problems even when the phone was near the usb portSame, but the GD-02 didn't have the higher powered usb connection with Apple Play/Android Auto, I'm not sure whether this is the problem but as mentioned I'll have to keep experimenting.

Wow thank you so much for this guide, the radio died on our 2013 i30 active not long out of its 3yr warranty. Picked up the GD-03, cable and socket for $165 from the wrecker. Fantastic.
I just trimmed the wire, instead of removing it from the plug, seems to have accomplished the same end.
I did indeed sign up just to thank you. So once again, thank you very much for this. Great write up and the pics helped enormously with the job.
Thanks for the welcome Dazzler. I'll certainly hang around, we were thinking about trading the car but with its new stereo it's got a new lease of life.
Can anybody please let me know where can I get that usb cable. Have been looking for ages.....Please help.Most if not all who have done GD-01 to GD-03 upgrades got the cable and usb plug module with the head unit when purchased through a wreckers like Stanvac :link: Contact Us (http://www.stanvac.com.au/contact-us)
Hi CraigNo problem :)
Thanks for the advice. Glad I didn't order one :)
Matt
If you do not have the GD-03 USB assembly you can buy a pre-made cable like this one
Hi,The GD -03 unit has options for the rear view camera that functions with the factory emblem cam, I don't know what connection is required though :undecided:
I’m trying to complete this on a 2013 wagon with a GD-01, at the same time I’d like to install a rear view camera as it didn’t come with one, I’ve found one that goes directly into the provision for it on the trunk release.
My question is, being a standard video input would that work for this? Am I better of getting an aftermarket stereo instead?
Hi guys
I have a 2014 elite with navigation. Can anyone confirm that I will need to get a gd-03 unit from a vehicle with navigation or are they all the same?
Pictures all seem the same for the gd-03 models so I wasn't sure
Thanks
Matt
I thought I can have Apple Carplay OEM unit but the more I read, the more disappointed I get.As mentioned in my reply to your message, the units are a different shape.
and from what I can gather online, the GD-03's certainly had SAT Nav in that range (at least in the Premium option).There were satnav units though they were not allocated GD-0”model numbers, supposedly the units were built/supplied by another manufacturer hence their slightly different shape on the lower fascia.
With regards to pin outs, I'm presuming with exception to the USB and AUX, the head unit is just literally a plug in swap over?

Hi Plasticphyte - I also have a 2012 i30. It is literally plug and play with the GD-03, but you do need to de-pin the reverse cam as per VTHs instruction. I just did it a couple of days ago because my GD-01 headunit stopped producing sound suddenly. Took me around 40 minutes because I took my time (I'm not a mechanic/electrician by any means). I reckon it would take me closer to 20 minutes next time now that I know how rough I can be with the trim. It is so good having sound again! Thanks again VTH!
As an update from my post above - I ended up ordering the Auxiliary jack and wire harness from :link: Parts Hyundai | Factory OEM Parts Discounted | Online Dealer (https://www.partshyundai.com). They've been shipped but haven't arrived yet. Will post how it goes!
@Skoobij If Plasticphyte has the premium unit as his signature suggests then it's not plug and play as a GD-0" unit as I previously mentioned wont fit a satnav vehicle.With regards to pin outs, I'm presuming with exception to the USB and AUX, the head unit is just literally a plug in swap over?

Auxiliary jack and wiring harness, you mean the jack with the usb and the usb wiring harness or the auxiliary wiring harness?
Oh, okay!Auxiliary jack and wiring harness, you mean the jack with the usb and the usb wiring harness or the auxiliary wiring harness?
Hi aanastasiou4 - My line of work is in no way mechanical/electrical so I may have stated the parts incorrectly. I am referring to these two parts which make up the USB/AUX input and the USB connector that go from the USB/AUX to GD-03 headunit:
- Auxiliary Jack: 96120-A5100
- Wire Harness: 96595-D3000
In case anyone else is interested I had trouble getting a USB cable as the wrecker supplied the head unit and AUX port but cut all the cables!What sort of an fxxxwit does that :head_butt: should have asked him to resend a new cable :disapp:

It seems to be fairly common. Most likely done to make extracting the goodies a quick affair rather than fussing about with properly removing the units with all cabling intact.Cant say I've heard of anyone else receiving their cables cut in half, it wouldn't make extracting the units easier either because the unit and air con panel have to be removed first to gain access to the USB/AUX module and the cable simply unplugs, cutting the cable is just a foolish mistake or done on purpose by some numbskull and should be replaced at the wreckers cost :disapp:
"numbskull" I love that word.. very descriptive and accurate on this occasion. I've heard it before, but not for a long time. :goodjob:Thought it was about time to bring back the term, I’ve been over using cockwomble :D
Hi Guys
I picked up a mint GD-03 unit and a new AUX/USB jack off eBay last week to replace a dead GD-01.
Afterwards, I mistakenly ordered the USB cable from Four Green who have not responded to my any of my emails even though I ordered and paid for the original (96595-A5000) cable. Absolutely useless company. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!
I'm considering ordering the replacement part (96198-3W000) from Korean Auto Parts... has anyone ordered from them? or going the DIY route from Digi Key Electronics like the previous poster did.
Great forum!
I bought the rear badge camera from fourgreen and the camera has a problem. Sent them countless emails which they responded only once with a “hello what is the problem of your camera?”. The camera was like €500.
You are right!!! I payed via paypal. I will open a case now!
Hey all,GD-03 stereos are an Australian unit supplied on certain 2015/2016 models, your unit appears to have the same fascia shape so it should fit, others in Europe have fitted our model so I'm guessing radio bands will be compatible.
I came across this thread hoping I could change my unit to the GD 03. I'm not sure what model I have (see picture) but could someone confirm if it would work or where I could source a GD 03 in the UK?
(https://preview.ibb.co/iQ6QSU/IMG_20180726_153017.jpg) (https://ibb.co/imXbZ9)
I see, they don't make things easy do they :headbang:
I will contact them see what they say :ta:
The car has just come out of warranty so no problem there. Some of the navigation models do have car play/AA in the UK, but they are expensive even used units I have seen for £600.
The GD-03 sounded like the perfect solution but they are not easy to find. I will keep looking for alternatives see if anything pops up.
I purchased the Gd-03 unit from Australia and I live in Cyprus which is an EU country. I have not been facing any issues with it except from carplay’s music playback which is a fault in iPhone’s software (will be fixed in the coming iOS updates)!The car has just come out of warranty so no problem there.

I meant issues with the GD-03. If you go to the trouble of switching it over then it has issues. Long way to send it back and get issues sorted.
I would be hesitant buying something electronic and used from the UK to put in my car in Tassie.
There should be an aftermarket (brand new) option available. Not sure how price would compare though. :cool:
Cool, was your stereo unit like mine and where did you purchase the unit from?Yes, I had the exact same as yours and the new one is just plug and play except from the camera wire which you will have to disconnect it! I bought it from an Australian seller on ebay (ultimatejap is his ebay name). He has many of them as he told me and he ships worldwide so, give it a shot!
A link to help http://ultimatejap.com.au/ (http://ultimatejap.com.au/) webpage contains links to their ebay shop as well.I paid $255 AUD including shipping!
@aanastasiou4 what was your price through UltimateJap?
I have just had a quick look at there feedback and I see a couple of GD-03 units being sold recently.I didn't see any reviews mentioning their cutting of cables :undecided:
Seems like they are cutting the end of the wires
I paid $255 AUD including shipping!That's a good price with shipping to Europe :goodjob2:
Yes, it was a really good purchase!I paid $255 AUD including shipping!That's a good price with shipping to Europe :goodjob2:
Hi All
First post. I purchased the GD-03 head unit last week from ultimatejap in Smithfield via ebay and it came quickly and well wrapped. $215AU shipped but ebay had 5% off on top so a little less in real life. The AUX unit came but with the USB cable cut :-[ but they were clear about that, so no problem there. I have purchased the parts to make the cable Digi-Key Electronics as per a previous poster. I will build the cable and install over the next week and post. Digi were very efficient and the parts came from the USA in 4 days. the parts are cheap but shipping is UPS only for about $25. Still the overall is about $40. I ordered a 'pigs tail USB' cable which means one end is a plug and one bare wires ready to connect which saves a little time. I'll post images and updates
What doesn’t make sense is why are UltimatJap cutting the cables :confused: it’s not hard to remove the aircon control panel :head_knock:I asked the seler the same question and he told me that he said many times to the employees that disassemble the cars not to cut the wires but they keep doing it.
Glad I bought mine through Stanvac.
I have found a unit with thanks to @aanastasiou4 and @CraigBYou are welcome my friend!
Now all I need is the usb cable to connect the port to the stereo unit as they have none available. Is there any of these for sale anywhere?
I asked the seler the same question and he told me that he said many times to the employees that disassemble the cars not to cut the wires but they keep doing it.As I've said once before "numbskulls", employees need to be give the boot if they cant follow a simple instruction :disapp:

Hi couleurs, I've used Korean Auto Parts before.. You can pay with Paypal (I recommend this) and they give you a tracking number which always makes me feel better :)Did your order arrived? I read many reviews online that its a scam website.
I read many reviews online that its a scam website.
Most probably yes!I read many reviews online that its a scam website.
Koraps is highly reputable. The reviews you may have seen would be from people who've probably had the odd delivery issue, so went online to complain.
Hey all, just an update on my progress.Perfect! I was also not able to find the cable from Hyundai parts and I got one for the sportage!
I have ordered a GD-03 unit from ultimatejap on ebay for $288 (£160) with express posting to the uk. It was difficult with the time difference because I would be in bed as they would be at work, and when I get up they would be finished work :sleeping:
Still got there in the end :goodjob2: :goodjob:
Now it didn't come with the cable for USB but I have ordered one from Lithuania. It is the 96198-3W000 model from KIA SPORTAGE III, £25 for that delivered.
After all the digging and searching now I just wait. I will update once they have arrived and I have it fitted and thanks to the person who posted alternative part numbers for the cable it was a big help.
Shared parts between Hyundai and Kia are handy at times. :goodjob:Yes!
Sometimes you can even save money with things like Diesel fuel filters. :victory:
I've found great information here!
Installed the Nav head unit in my Elantra GT 2014 (not the GD-03, not available in the US), i wonder if i try to install the "tll3000h.hdf" update for the GD-03 it Will work in my NAV system? It looks like the GUI is very similar.
:whsaid: you’ll definitely stuff it, NAV units aren’t built by Cartronics which is what the firmwares are for.I've found great information here!

HIThe only crackle I get is related to an iPhone issue which is widely reported about the web.
I am having that occasional crackle form the left front as well on usb. Did anyone solve it?
I suspect maybe the AUX connector ground lines need to be grounded. I know it is seperate but the usb line has 4 wires plus the external shield line and their is a little circuit board on the whole AUX assembly. maybe the gorund is shared somehow.

@StokeyBry that's very quick postage :goodjob: did you order the USB module as well? that was the hardest part to remove, stubborn little bugger.
You have to swap the entire module/part@StokeyBry that's very quick postage :goodjob: did you order the USB module as well? that was the hardest part to remove, stubborn little bugger.
Yes I have the USB module and the 12v ports all as one, will it be easier swapping the entire part instead of trying just swap the USB module?
Yes it is difficult to remove, I was going to replace the entire part but they have damaged it upon removal, so I will just replace the moduleWhen I said replace the entire part I am referring to just the part (module)I pictured with the USB and AUX plugins, not the full panel.

That was just what I got sent with the head unit. I was just going to swap the entire part for easiness, but with the damage they have made removing the part I will just be replacing the USB module.

Couldn't wait huh :snigger: bummer that you'll have to pull it all apart again to fit the cable but good job :goodjob:
I have a question about the USB port, can you use a USB hub to make two USB connections? so I can plug my phone into one and a USB stick drive in the other and have functions of them both?I haven't tried tbh, might be possible with Android but doubt it would work with Apple...even the cables used need to have the correct chip with Apple otherwise they're non-discoverable.
Another successful install here! :happydance:How you got the software?
Plastic vents off, aircon module, dead GD-01 unit and AUX/USB module out in less than 30 mins... plastic removal tools made it easy.
Then plugged in replacement GD-03 unit along with USB cable and AUX/USB module to test. Headunit powered on but didn't get past the rear camera screen -- snipped the rear camera wire and unit came alive. Afterwards I upgraded to the latest software but had to do it twice as SW + Platform updated the first time but Micom did not. This took around 10 mins each time. Everything installed in around an hour.
Awesome headunit... Google Maps, Waze and Spotify all work great! The sound output and response time is much better compared to the original GD-01 unit -- especially after tweaking the equaliser etc.
Thanks to everyone for the easy install guide, tips and the software update links! :goodjob:

I did it twice and both of the times did the default settings. I also used a usb with songs. Again it recognised the songs but no sound.Did you initialise the system after updating? default settings isn't the same as initialising.
What do you mean initialise? After update, hyundai logo comes on, then tap on agree. Go to settings> system> default settings then press yes. Unit restarts and then do the update again and lastly procedure for default settings. Isn’t that it?I did it twice and both of the times did the default settings. I also used a usb with songs.

Do you know where to find the files for the previous firmware so I can roll back to that software?Maybe @Shambles might have it :undecided: I'd try reformatting the USB first and reinstall the music as that might help.

One last thought...try downloading another copy of the file and start fresh.This is what my radio was like after finishing the update! No radio stations. or any bluetooth devices were stored. Okay, I will try again!
If update is done correctly the phone and everything else should be wiped from the stereo requiring you to re-sync phone and retune radio stations.
I can only assume something has gone wrong in the update process, there are reports on the web and here of some having clock reset issues though I've not read any reports of the no sound issue you described, just seems strange how I have the same upgraded GD-03 unit and don't see any of the issues others are reporting :confused: though I dd cut the reverse wire and haven't connected the AUX port, only the USB port is connected for myself.One last thought...try downloading another copy of the file and start fresh.This is what my radio was like after finishing the update!

If update is done correctly the phone and everything else should be wiped from the stereo requiring you to re-sync phone and retune radio stations.
I wonder if you could try contacting Cartronics and describe your problem with the new update file and ask if they would be kind enough to send the previous file to you :Good_luck: support@cartronics.net.auI will do that thanks! I just noticed that my clock resets back to 12:00 am too!
Also my unit is on 2.04.07 firmware, is it wise to keep it as it is? And wait until a new update will be releasedMight as well leave it as is, even though I have no issues with the update on mine there wasn't any noticeable improvements on any other features I can tell.
Hello AllI had the occasional disconnect of the phone from head unit if the phone was laying down somewhere (fixed buy pulling USB for 10 seconds and replacing) though when upright on its mount it's fine, my voice on the unit works well.
Some further updates having had the upgrade in for 2 weeks with the latest firmware.
1) The firmware is not causing me issues but I also have a cut reverse cable so the unit will not pick up reverse
2) Gosh the whole combo is buggy ( iPhone 7 or 6s, cable, ioS12/.01 and GD-03 Head and whatever car play app you run ).
EG
a) Waze talks and AM band audio is turned down automatically, on waze being done, AM audio is like you are 100KM form the transmitter - full of static. You need to power off the radio and all fine then. FM doesn't seem to have the issue.
b) Random disconnects - seems helped greatly if you shut down ( swipe away ) all the other background apps that may be running on the iPhone. Various cables make no change
c) Once ( in only two weeks ) after about 30 seconds of starting and maps talking fine the audio became a loud screech on any input, like audio feedback - USB, Bluetooth etc and thence to silence. Disconnecting phone and power cycling radio no change. After the car was turned off though it went back to normal
d) Siri works about 50% better understanding what you said if the iPhone is on speaker phone rather than via the voice button on the unit
I would have been happy to say cartronics is crap at software but a friend with a VW Polo has constant issues too ( not sure of manufacturer of head unit ) and as above, there are so many places for bugs from phone to car. I would be curious what everyone else finds, especially those with an original factory fit.
I still enjoyed the fun of having done the job but some of the gloss is gone. If I had paid more than $200 from a wrecker I wouldn't be amused. Maybe I understand why the likes of Toyota and Mazda have been slow to release apple car play. In OZ law you need to get what you paid for and if the bloody thing crashes every second trip it would be a grey area if carplay meets that test. Does capplay do what you paid for in the advertisements?
Hopefully over the next year of so the bugs get ironed out but carplay isn't exactly new!
Thanks so much for all the helpful information here.
I was having some issues with my third party Android head unit so thought I would give the GD-03 a go.
Managed to get one to the UK from Australia and fitted it this morning before work. I got the new HU, Aux unit, and USB cable all fitted with a snipped and taped A9 cable, firmware updated from 2.0 to 2.05.05 (I couldn't find the 2.04.x firmware anywhere) all in just over an hour and everything seems to be working well :D
Thanks again,
LP
It is buggy at times, where as it won't change audio volume at time's unless the voice command is pressed then cancelled. Also the skip song button sometimes stops working on the steering wheel.I wonder if those issues are related to a problem in your steering wheel controls being worn :undecided: I see none of those problems here.
Other than that great.
I do also have a usb hub so I have my usb stick and phone plugged in at the same time

Based on what you just said, Craig, perhaps the background volume the unit is getting is so high that it's heard as speech. :Dunno:Not sure, my phone volume is set to max for music and 60% for ringer and calls, the head unit defaults to 8 for guidance every time the vehicle is started which I'll turn up as needed via steering wheel controls while guidance is being spoken, in-between directions (guidance waiting) I can adjust music/radio volume which defaults to 12 at startup that I've pre-set in the head-unit settings.
I know it's not the point of the GD-03, but my word the radio functionality is the most basic I've seen in forever. Doesn't even read the RDS info like channel names.I thought channel names were only read out with DAB units :undecided: I think DAB functionality is in the latest 2018 i30 units though even if I had it I would never see it as I always have Apple Car Play connected and running.
Weird, on reading it looks like RDS features didn't take off much in Australia.Yeah not a big thing here that I know of though some cars may have it :undecided: mostly AM/FM with CD which the latter is being phased out now that Apple and Android are the in thing, all radios are gradually moving to DAB.
Things like automatic frequency switching, traffic announcements, channel names, all useful!
It was even on the Bobby basic radio that my i30 came with.

CONFIRMED. I GOT AUX TO WORK, at least in the american elantra gt - non sat/nav. This should theoretically work for the i30 as well.
I acquired the extension cable from a santa fe to the usb dock, that I assume runs to a lower point on the console. Part #961202W500. Removing the female end connector I was able to connect the cable and its 8 wires to the needed connections with the existing 16pin connector via t-tap connectors, and connected the male end to the 96120A5100 usb aux connection. :link: Amazon.com: Ginsco 120 Pcs/60 Pairs Quick Splice Wire Terminals T-Tap Self-stripping with Nylon Fully Insulated Male Quick Disconnects Kit: Home Improvement (https://amzn.to/2tQazLP). This allows me to remove the HD-03 in the event that I want to add back the stock radio and without directly cutting the 16pin harness.
Just matched up the connections from the new to the old. It only works if you have the USB, as it provides power for the aux connection.

HI,If your vehicle already has a satnav unit fitted then a GD model (non satnav)stereo will not fit due to different fascia shape, satnav units are not even allocated with a GD “ “ label
I am planning to buy this 2016 i30 set nav unit for this trip. can someone please confirm if it is possible on this version? I can't see any mention of the GD-03 part number.

Thanks for your feedback guys. I currently have the non sarnav version in my car so I think GD-03 should fit. Stanvac is asking for 550 aud including shipping. Is the reasonable ? I emailed ultimatejap but didn’t receive any reply. Is there anywhere else I can source it from ?If Stanvac are going to ship internationally for you then I'd stick with them, currently their GD-03 units are going for $400+, due to the high demand of these units now they are getting rarer so with shipping included to UK I think that is a reasonable asking price $550au = 312GBP.
Thanks once again.
Hi guys,
Having a bit of a problem here. How is your experience dealing with stanvac? They had 1 GD-03 system in stock for which I paid via western union money transfer on 18-Dec. However, soon after, they have disappeared from radar and stopped replying to my email in last 2 weeks . Western union has confirmed money was deposited in receiver’s account. However, despite my repeated emails to verify the transfer and status of the shipment, stanvac haven’t replied to a single email. I think I was n correspondence with someone called Dale.
Thanks once again
Tapan
Hi guys,Tapan, Stanvac are very reliable from my experience, you’ll probably find your package is already on its way.

@tapan.aviator Hi Tapan, thanks for the pm and I've sent a reply to you, their silly season busy period has had them run off their feet but rest assured the package was sent on the 18th and they are going to request the shipping company send you an email on it's status :goodjob2:That is some serious string pulling :goodjob2: :goodjob: :cool:
Dale at Stanvac's is easy to deal with, I spoken with him a few times before to sort out some stereo deals for people and he's all to happy to help solve any issues, he's very appreciative for the i30 forum keeping his GD-03 stocks low :)@tapan.aviator Hi Tapan, thanks for the pm and I've sent a reply to you, their silly season busy period has had them run off their feet but rest assured the package was sent on the 18th and they are going to request the shipping company send you an email on it's status :goodjob2:That is some serious string pulling :goodjob2: :goodjob: :cool:
Thanks everyone. I have sent stanvac an email explaining the situation- waiting to hear back currently. By now they shipment would have been returned to them I would assume.All sorted for you Tapan, the package has only just arrived back in Aus so give it a couple of days to return to Stanvac where they’ll re-address and send off for you again :)
@CraigB - mate, you are a legend! thanks ever so much for all your help not this. Stanvac have shipped the package back to me and it has now arrived in the UK :goodjob2:Not a problem mate :hatoff: it took its time getting back to you but good to hear it finally arrived :goodjob2:
Just wanna day a massive thanks to all the contributors in this thread.That's a great price for a GD-03 unit :goodjob: getting hard to obtain under $350 now days, typical of UltimateJap to cut cables though :disapp:
My 2012 GD01 suffered from sudden loss of audio output last weekend, and a quick google search led me here.
I managed to pickup a GD03 head unit and USB point from ultimatejap for $170. Fitted it tonight following this guide, took me about an hour and it’s better than new! Much more functional, and better sound quality to boot!
Haven’t got the USB hooked up, as unfortunately the supplier cut it. But will order from KORAPs this week, unless someone has a local source for one?
Thanks again guys and gals!
Hi All.If you wanted to fit the GD-03 in place of the satnav unit you would also need to buy the standard aircon control panel and swap the fascia with the existing aircon.
Given that the satnav units are different shape.
wouldnt a gd-03 and surrounding panel fix the issue?
might cost more, but should work?
we should ask our wrecker friends of the panels/fascias have the same attachment points.
Howdy all,Yes the USB also supplies power and Apple car play wont work unless you use genuine quality cables, cheap cables don't have to correct chip in them.
Question:
Does your new USB socket charge your phone?
(this could obvs be from my dodgy cable but just thought i'd ask)
Currently my partners Samsung S10 picks up a charge, but a message displays about slow charging and to use a proper cable.
But my iphone does not pick up any charge. Also i ask this because, the wreckers supplied cut cables for the AUX cable sockets and it looks like more than just an aux cable the amount of wires on there i suspect maybe it was giving charge to the USB port as well?
Should i update my software on the unit? (SW VER: 2.04.02 Micom: 3.27.00 Platform: 1.76)
The option for clicking android auto-apple car play seems to be greyed out on the audio options screen. Not sure if this problem is due to the dodgy cable, or needs a software update.
Preamble ramble: I installed a GD-03 in my 2014 i30 recently after my old head unit stopped playing any sounds.
Everything went better than expected. Only problem was I nearly broke the damn USB unit pushing to the front of the car instead of the back when trying to remove it! doh!
Everything's working fine except android auto/apple car play is not working. The wreckers did supply a cable but it had a tasty gash on the side that seems like it has only just shredded one of the internal wires.
I have just ordered a cable from Koraps.com ( :link: Auto Part Item View : 961983W000 (96198-3W000) CABLE ASSY-USB for HYUNDAI / KIA SPORTAGE 10- (http://www.koraps.com/shop/item.php?it_id=511278)) hopefully that will be the go.
Cheers!
Hi there,You can buy the aircon panel from a base model and change over the fascia, I think you then need to drill a few holes in the fascia where the climate sensor is.
I also have a 2013 i30 Elite and want to do the GD-03 upgrade. Did you ever discovery a way of doing this, given the facia at the bottom of the unit is a different shape?
I want to avoid going aftermarket if I can, but seems like us Elite owners have no option!
Cheers
Hi there,I have one facia which I don't need. It can be fitted on your existing aircon unit. Send me a message if you want it!

I am about to do the upgrade, just purchased the gd 03 head unit, and didn't come with lead or usb/ aux assembly, If I purchase the lead, will that be enough? or do I have to upgrade the usb/ aux assembly as well?? The car already has a usb/aux assembly....You don't mention what year the vehicle is but if the factory usb/aux assembly is the single cable type (pre Apple/Android) then you'll need the cable and assembly as the usb Apple/Android cable becomes it's own with a separate plug for the aux side, the aux remains disconnected.
I have an 2013 i30 Elite (SatNav model), with reversing camera hidden under the Hyundai badge at the rear. Does anyone know if the GD03 head unit supports connection to the reversing camera? The aftermarket CarPlay head units do not, and would require a separate (new) reverse camera to be installed, which would be silly.

Hi all. So is it correct that I can swap the system in the first picture ( I pick the car up on Saturday ) from a 2016 i30 se. Which I believe is a GD-02 unit for the one in the second picture, which is a GD-03 unit?That is a navigation unit so not a GD-03, the GD-03 is a cartronics unit with Apple Carplay/Android Auto and no CD player which you'll see pictured in the first post of this topic, they are only available from Australia.
Thanks for your reply. Can the navigation unit be swapped for the existing unit?Hi all.

You will need a new air con facia as well as re-pinning the connectors at the back of the unit.Thanks for your reply. Can the navigation unit be swapped for the existing unit?Hi all.

Thanks for your reply. Can the navigation unit be swapped for the existing unit?As mentioned it can be done though it’s more work, aircon fascia needs swapping with the climate control type, aerial and wiring need changing to the GPS type and re-pin the connections.
Thanks, I've just had a quote of $550 from stanvac which seems reasonable.They're not an aftermarket unit, they are installed in some of the late model GD i30's here.
One question, as this is an aftermarket unit, does it use Google maps?
How do you update the maps?
Or do you use the Hyundai unit sd card?
Thanks everyone

How’s it going , first post on the forum , I have a 2013 5D and as has been observed buy a lot of others , the radio ( G-D 01 ) has failed .... I’m about to get on board up grading to a G-D 03 and I’m wondering if there has been any updates or does anyone have any hints or tips , i’m Aware that I need a AUX/USB , USB lead etc ...Nothing has changed with the install process, just follow the instructions by VTH...very simple :)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.....
red hot forum...I’ve got a lot out of it so far
Cheers
G’day how’s it going , I’m in the initial stages of swapping out from a GD-01 to GD-03 if I’m unable to locate a GD-03 AUX/USB jack and decide to go with your listed option 3 , can I just take the picture to a electronic place and say ... get me one of these .... (sorry not real sharp )
Cheers thanks for the update
Cheers thanks heapsYou are welcome:)
Just a quick thanks to all. I'm now considering this rather than an aftermarket unit for a 2013 i30. The car I want to install it into does not have a reverse camera fitted at the moment. Has anyone wired an aftermarket camera into a gd-03 unit that was upgraded from a gd-02?I fitted the oem camera but an aftermarket camera will work as well.
Hi All - love this guide and I’m keen to do this upgrade.The twin plug connections at the rear look right, haven’t seen one with a flip face before though.
Does anyone know if this module is compatible? Looks the same apart from the flip down cover. Part number is a5110 rather than a5100.
I don't suppose you know if the wiring is all there (eg from the boot to the dash in models that do not have the camera as standard). If this is the case I could just get a camera from the wreckers and hook that up to the wiring in the boot. Alternatively I'm assuming its a matter of getting an after market camera and finding the right pins and wiring the camera directly to the harness behind the head unit??I think you might need to take off the hatch interior panel for inspection, then you’ll see if there is a plug connection waiting there for you and you’ll also want to make sure it’s possible to mount the factory camera.
Yeah I thought it appeared to be the same. I’ve found a decent priced GD-03 so thinking I might roll the dice on this.We’ll hear from ya when it’s done then :goodjob:

You can run new wires from the boot to the radio. That's what I did!
Hi All - love this guide and I’m keen to do this upgrade.It fits. You can take off that open/close cover and fit the one which is on your current usb module.

Super helpful info on the wiring harness part numbers.This diagram is found on any Gd-03 radio!
by chance do you remember how you wired it in? I'm assuming that:
- power from the reverse lights goes to connector a pin 9 (to activate camera on display when in reverse)
- video ground (outer part of RCA connector) goes to Connector a pin 14
- video center connector from RCA goes to Connector A pin 15?
this is based on the awesome diagram from I justkowstuf :goodjob: who posted it a while back.

Another successful upgrade complete. Ordered one last week from ebay. Looked a bit beat up but for $130 delivered I figured I would roll the dice. Turned up on Friday. Wires were cut but that ended up being a good thing. I managed to splice my own USB cable by connecting the end that was left in the unit from the wire cutting with using a standard USB extension which I trimmed the Male end off. Bit of trial and error with the USB. Initially I had the USB data wires backwards. For any one attempting this, get the power pins right which is an easy check with a multi meter. Data cables should not kill your device (based on the iPhone not getting fried when I tested). I owe a credit to someone here who posted up some USB wiring stuff. I have a reverse camera on the way. I will try to remember to get some pics of that when the camera turns up.Can you give me the link from where you ordered the unit because I can't find GD03.

(https://image.ibb.co/jsEgk7/usbafem2mm.jpg) (http://pcpartsandcables.com//product_info.php?products_id=54)
Has anyone used these cables before? I got a price from PC Parts and Cables and it works out about $15 incl shipping to Australia.
Any chance you could share the link for this cable? I haven't been able to source the correct one.https://www.fourgreen.com/store/mobile/prodView.asp?idProduct=6145963
The website says they're updating it - and its been saying that for months.
I've had a read through the thread and couldn't find the answer.No need to disconnect the battery.
Do I need to disconnect the battery before attempting to change the headunit?
Maybe the answer is obvious but I want to be sure.
Thanks!

Thanks, so it is safe to disconnect all the wires from the existing head unit while the battery is connected?As long as the ignition is off it will be fine, there is no need to disconnect battery.
Various Google results seems to indicate that I need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Just want to make sure I don't stuff this up

Just install and updated firmware.There is a grey tab on one side of the connector which has to be lifted up in order to remove any of the pins.
Thanks for the awesome guide. I ended up cutting the wire as I couldn't depinned the reverse camera cable
Can someone explain what is the difference between sat nav and non sat nav on GD03 unit,thank you.One has GPS and the other doesnt :D GD-03 has Apple Car play/Android Auto, Satnav units don't, GD=03 units don't have a CD player either.
Thank you Craig for clarifying that but still I'm confused,this seller on eBay is selling this GD03 unit and is written Sat nav see the pictures and another seller is selling same GD03 without Sat nav both of them are from Au now I don't what is better to buy.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/a8e6b12a97ffcf3d8c5cb20f13e23f10.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/14a72a5e21a1654fdcf5f884263c4ada.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/46844865631df25c237eef0dcc7ef527.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/d3f92e261b871129842b5a5b894d6a18.jpg)Can someone explain what is the difference between sat nav and non sat nav on GD03 unit,thank you.One has GPS and the other doesnt :D GD-03 has Apple Car play/Android Auto, Satnav units don't, GD=03 units don't have a CD player either.
Satnav units have a different shape at the base of the fascia, Satnav models are also not allocated a GD-03 model number...no satnav unit for that matter has the GD model number as the nav units are made in Korea and the GD- units are built by Cartronics Australia.
Both units pictured appear to be GD-03, grab the $250 one :goodjob2:I would like to grab 250$ but I need to buy usb cable because this seller is cutting all the cables.
The first seller has listed it wrongly with satnav but that may be due to whoever put the newer sticker on the unit, it’s a GD-03 looking at the face and original sticker so I’d expect he’s trying to do a dodgy :undecided:

Hi Guys,Hi kirstenp, sounds like your not using the Apple certified cable :undecided: try using the genuine cable that came with the phone.
Ive just finished upgrading from my gd-01 to a gd-03. I've changed over the AUX/USB assembly unit and everything seems to be working. I can connect my iPhone via USB and it will CHARGE but WONT ENABLE ME TO CONNECT TO APPLE CARPLAY. Have just updated the software to SW VER: 2.05.10 MICOM: 3.28.00 Platform: 1.76.00.
When I press the 'MEDIA' button, it will show all the correct options on the screen but everything is greyed out except the BLUETOOTH option.
Any ideas on how to fix? Did i go wrong somewhere?
Thanks!
-K
Tried the genuine cable to no avail. Just to confuse things more, it will charge with a non genuine cable, but won't charge with the genuine one. Still won't connect to AA/car play regardless of the cables I try. Any other suggestions??What model iPhone do you have?
I've got an iPhone 6s. I can see the CarPlay option in my phone settings but I didn't think i needed to use that at all when using the USB chord?Have you updated the head unit to the latest software?
I've got an iPhone 6s. I can see the CarPlay option in my phone settings but I didn't think i needed to use that at all when using the USB chord?No need to use those phone settings while driving, just checking whether your vehicle is listed in the settings and turned on.
Definitely not seeing that as an option on my phone 😩Reported symptoms all pointed to a lead/cable fault, you can purchase the lead via Hyundai or Koraps or via a link posted previously in this topic that aanastasiou4 placed https://www.fourgreen.com/store/mobile/prodView.asp?idProduct=6145963#mobileMain (https://www.fourgreen.com/store/mobile/prodView.asp?idProduct=6145963#mobileMain)
And no it’s Not the original cable from the donor vehicle. The guys at the wreckers used a pair of side cutters to take the head unit & USB jack assembly out. I made a chord using an old computer fan. The pin sequence is all correct and I know I’ve got all the wiring correct. Yet still no luck.
Might cut my loss and just use the head unit for Bluetooth audio & radio! At least I can still charge my phone on the USB.

Apple carplay should be turned ON from restrictions so idk maybe he somehow turned it off that's why I had to mention the above process.

Not a big job at all it’s all plug and play, but you may have to use the facia from your current head unit for the gd-03You can't swap the head unit fascia from a NAV to GD-03 as the buttons are different, you would need to swap the climate control fascia from current Premium to Active (base model).
Any ideas here?No wrecker will separate the aircon fascia, they would be left with a aircon module that they couldn't sell.
Great - I've been looking at getting a standard fascia, but it doesn't seem like anyone is selling them without the actual controls. Thinking I could get it for much cheaper if I could find that. Any ideas here?If you get the whole unit, the glossy black trim can be pulled off and installed on your current climate unit.

Yes! Get the cheapest one you can find but make sure that the glossy part is not full of scratchesAny ideas here?No wrecker will separate the aircon fascia, they would be left with a aircon module that they couldn't sell.
Thanks Craig - I figured that might be the case. Wasn’t sure if 3rd parties might sell this part aftermarket or something. Will have to get the full unit in that case.
Definitely not seeing that as an option on my phoneContact this seller (ultimatejap)on eBay and ask him for the OEM cable.
And no it’s Not the original cable from the donor vehicle. The guys at the wreckers used a pair of side cutters to take the head unit & AUX/USB jack assembly out. So the chord was cut in 2. I got one end but they said they couldn’t get the otherso I made a chord using an old computer fan cable. The pin sequence is all correct and I know I’ve got all the wiring correct. Yet still no luck.

I would be very surprised if it's the cable. There's nothing special about it, I measured it when I repaired mine and it's simply 4 x 2 feet of copper.You can get away with repaired cables on Android Auto but Apple CarPlay is extremely fussy when it comes to cables.

Did you follow the full instructions while upgrading? There are several parts to it, and afterwards you are supposed to do a full settings reset. Did you do all of these?
I soldered together the two ends of the cable. It was cut by ultimatejap's dismantlers.Now all good?
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ksoAAOSwqgFdnlfN/s-l1600.jpg)
4 wires and a shield. Nothing to it. We're not talking about GHz signals through these cables. If we were, I'd have used the spectrum analyzer to to a DTF (https://www.anritsu.com/en-US/test-measurement/solutions/en-us/distance-to-fault) analysis.
It took me 10 minutes, 7 of which was making spent on a cup of coffee.
Just wanted to thank you and follow up posters regarding the upgrade to gd03 with Apple CarPlay/android auto. :goodjob2: After sourcing the correct unit, following the excellent instructions and updating the software as per instructions on this site, wifey thinks she married a genius and is even more happy with her little wagon! You guys are so clever!
Hello, guys! Today i've bought GD-03 and already installed it (unfortunately without USB and camera). It was a piece of cake.If you want to guarantee correct functionality I'd stick with genuine, I believe the are some links placed further back in this topic to Koraps...or obtain from another wrecker or Hyundai.
So here's the question - is there a chance to find USB cable or 2mm 4pin connector tomorrow in Sydney? I was in Jaycar and Strathfield car audio - they don't have anything similar.

Why no camera? My camera works fine!That would likely depend on which model someone has, base GD models in Australia (like my own) didn't have a reverse camera.
I thought he meant that his camera is not working after he changed to the GD03 unit!Why no camera? My camera works fine!That would likely depend on which model someone has, base GD models in Australia (like my own) didn't have a reverse camera.
Excuse me for misleading, English is not my native :) camera and USB hasn't yet installed. I was lucky to find new GD-03 for 300 AUD when wreckers asked $550, now i need to buy camera and lead+panel.No worries!
Hi Guys, created an account to say thanks for all the info. I've just completed my upgrade. I had issues with Android auto initially (connection would drop out immediately on start up) due to I think using an unshielded cable to replace the chopped cable I received with the unit. I rejoined the ends using a shielded usb phone cable soldering/heatshrinking everything carefully. Everything now works perfectly.
Appreciate the detailed info 👍
*Purchased unit from ultimatejap on ebay for $295 delivered (Aus)
Hi to everyone! As i've already posted here - i recently upgraded to GD-03 and got USB lead and panel from Tynan ($108 extra).I'd run the firmware update again, sometimes require two runs and make sure to initialise the system when completed.
So i've updated firmware and started testing maps, spotify and other features.
After i've opened google maps all of sudden my sound stopped, even when i unplugged phone and diconnected bluetooth, my radio was silent till i turned off and on the HU.
And this happens all the time, if anybody encountered something similar? I've tried different phones and cables, and also it's important to mention that my AUX is not connected.
Thank you, Craig! It really worked out, after uploading the same FW the problem disappeared.Hi to everyone!

New day - new problem :) while attempting installing reverse camera faced problem with missed pins (i've bought new HU, so no old connector was there), does anyone knows where to buy pins separately.Car audio store, Jaycar or any other electronics stores :undecided:
Temporarily i've soldered two wires directly to the mainboard.
Quick question. Is there an easy way to source a replacement for the USB cable from within Australia? I’ve had no luck with wreckers they are always cut.Stanvac Korean auto wreckers would have but whether they'd sell the cable without a unit I don't know, other late model car play compatible Hyundai's would likely use the same cable.
Mind helping me out with a part number 👍I’m sure if you call Hyundai service/parts desk and enquire about the USB cable for a 2016 i30 GD-03 head unit you should get your answer :)
Thanks VTH for the great guide. I replaced the GD-01 head unit in my 2014 on the weekend and it is working great.
In case anyone else is interested I had trouble getting a USB cable as the wrecker supplied the head unit and AUX port but cut all the cables!
Hyundai spare parts told me the USB cable was part of the main harness and couldn't be purchased seperatly and the main harness was AU$1500!
I managed to order the USB cable (96595-A5000) from Four Green (https://www.fourgreen.com) for much less (US$12.62 + postage), however a few days later they told me they didn't have the part and gave me a refund.
There is an alternative KIA part (96198-3W000) which both Four Green (https://www.fourgreen.com) and Korean Auto Parts (http://www.koraps.com) have in stock.
While researching the cable however, I discovered I could order the connectors and make the cable myself.
The connectors are GT17 Series (https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/HiroseGT17Brochure.PDF) from Hirose and are made up several components which include:
Housing - GT17HS-4S-HU (You'll need two of these)
Insulator - GT17H-4S-2C (You'll need two of these)
Outer terminal - GT17HS-4S-5CF (You'll need two of these)
Centre terminal - GT8-2428SCF(70) (You'll need eight of these)
It might be a good idea to buy a few extra in case you mess up the crimping.
I ordered all these parts from Digi Key Electronics (https://www.digikey.com.au)
For the cable I used a shielded USB cable, the specific cable used in the Hyundai part is "DUSUNG E203693 AWM 2725 VW-1 80C 30V Low Voltage Computer Cable", however if you can't find this cable any shielded USB printer cable should work just fine. Look for AWM 2725 on the cable and you should be fine.
I happen to find some of the same cable used in the genuine Hyundai part and used a 45cm lenght which was enough to reach with some slack for ease of install.
Using some wire strippers, crimping tools and tweezers it took me 20 minutes of steady hands (the center terminal pins are tiny) to make up the cable.

As I mentioned earlier the wrecker cut all the cables and sent me the cut off ends so I also have the plug with some wires that go into the AUX port.
I'm working on making up an adapter that will allow me to plug the cable in my car to the new AUX port. I'm currently sourcing the connectors from GD-01 AUX port (96120-A5000) so I don't have to cut up the one I have to get the plug, but I'll keep you all posted if that turns out.
Many thanks to the club for keeping this topic active. My GD-01 died a week ago so decided to upgrade to GD-03. Followed all instructions in this thread from installation to firmware update. The whole process was seamless! Cheers!
If someone could reply with where to download the new firmware that would be great - I've had no luck on the cartronic website unfourtunately!The last firmware update for the GD-03 was December 2018 and I doubt we'll receive another, unless a serious compatibility bug arises after phone firmware updates.
and my question is, was it the back of the unit itself that had the change? and if so can I use the half with the unit and simply splice my old one into that to make a complete cord?You'll require the USB/AUX module as well and then you might be able to splice together but the cables are quite different.
Cheers
Ah so the original USB/AUX from my GD-01 unit is not compatible either? Thought it was just the cord alone that was the issue :sweating:Correct, they're not compatible.
Thanks for that
Cheers
Trying to source the GD-03 unit is becoming harder with lots of GD-01 headunits now approaching max life expectancy :)Stanvac Korean auto wreckers are who I usually recommend, if they don't have any then searching all Hyundai wreckers Australia wide is the next step, you'll require the interconnecting USB lead and AUX/USB module as well for the complete changeover.
I actually had the GD-01 headunit replaced under warranty for Bluetooth problems and audio cutting out occasionally. But in the last 2 months, it started again. First lost FM radio, lost all radio and finally in the last week lost all Audio (Bluetooth/CD). It also often freezes. I pulled it apart hoping the connections were perhaps loose and it all looks fine. Really struggled to remove the screws - Hyundai technicians must have wanted to ensure the headunit will never ever be removed from the car. I needed a cordless drill driver to do it.
If none of the wreckers have this GD-03 unit what are the other options for retaining steering wheel controls and Android Auto + Carplay? I don't want to spend too much but clearly another GD-01 unit is a total waste of money. I don't think they are worth $50
Has anyone here had recent dealings with Stanvac Korean auto wrecker? I've emailed them and got a quote of $550 + $35 postage. This is a "changeover" price so they pay postage for me to send them my old headunit. Seems nice and convenient except it's the highest price I've ever seen... :faint:They must be getting rarer now, Stanvac's were $400 six months to a year ago and about $350 when I purchased mine a few years ago.
Is it that hard to sources these units atm? I was sure the price would be a bit lower than the ebay stuff I've seen around $400-$420.
Found one on ebay (ultimatejap was the seller - wrecker in Smithfield NSW) but got snapped up before I hit buy
It was $420 inclusive of postage with the USB cable + AUX/USB assembly so not as good value as the $200 come get it out yourself deal...
dealings with Stanvac? This is a "changeover" price so they pay postage for me to send them my old headunit.
They are repairable, about $600 the last time I'd heard of one being done.dealings with Stanvac? This is a "changeover" price so they pay postage for me to send them my old headunit.
Any idea why they want the dodgy GD-01 head units??
It makes it sound like they are repairable ??
G'day all,Once the head unit and aircon is out (15minutes) it’s only a 5 minute job to get the AUX module out with USB lead intact.
I have sourced a GD-03 from an interstate wrecker to be mailed to me to do the upgrade. I have asked if the AUX/USB jack assembly and USB lead are able to be included too and was advised that I would need to remove it myself as it is a big job.
Is someone able confirm/deny this please?
I noticed there is no backlighting appearing on the GD-03 buttons/dials, which i'm expecting they have? Could someone confirm they do have lights please and if something I haven't done is a contributing factor?The dials and buttons have blue backlighting when the driving lights are turned on, I wouldn't know why your one doesn't light up though.
Thinking and hoping that it was a faulty GD-03, the ebay seller (kudo's to ultimatejap) agreed to replace the unit. I installed the new unit today and the exact same fault condition exists, USB devices inserted into the port are not recognised (or energised), and if I pull out the multimeter I'm not picking up any voltage directly of the head-unit pins.You've got me stumped :Dunno: not a problem I've seen or heard of before.
Am I missing something where I need to "turn on" the gd-03 usb-aux port? I tried de-pinning the aux-detect cable, no joy. This unit is a higher firmware rev where it has android auto in the menu, and I tried turning AA on/off, similar no joy.
The unit is installed in a 2015 i30 Active which had a GD-02
Does anyone know what AUX/USB Jack assembly is required for the GD-03 model. I have purchased a GD-03 aftermarket headunit to put in my 2012 GD i30 which currently has a GD-01 in it.You'll need the interconnecting USB lead and the USB/AUX module pictured in the first post of this topic.
When they sent the headunit they didnt send anything with it except for the headunit. What do I need and where can i buy the rest of the cabling required?
Thanks
I have overthought this process and worried myself so need a question answered.:wttc: Maximus12234, nothing else needed mate :goodjob2:
Apart from the USB cable, should i have bought my head unit with any other cables? or do the old cables plug into the new unit? (apart from the new USB cable, of course)
Yeah i'm not sure whether it's the USB cable, aux/usb module, or the actual head unit that's the problem. Everything works atm apart from the USB connection :crazy1:Yes it's only the USB cable that's required, I can't remember if the USB lead only plugs in one way...thinking it's directional :undecided:
i'll take it apart and test it all uninstalled this arvo. Just checking that the AUX/USB module only needs the USB cable connected to work? The aux part isnt connected to anything atm.
Just really annoying :(
From a 2017 i30 i think.Should be 2015 till 2016 for a GD-03 unit, later than that would be another model stereo.
Should there be any lights in the USB module? Should the text light up? Cause i aint seeing any lights eitherThere's no lighting on the module.
I noticed you're in perth too, you happen to know where i can find the USB cable wiyhin a day or so? Do you or anyone you know happen to be selling one?Possibly through Hyundai Parts an Service :undecided: you might be able to match something through JayCar but whether it'll function correctly with an Apple device I wouldn't know.
Yeh I'm still gazumped here. No voltage of the port.
I tried the dealer (Westpoint Auto Brisbane) and they flatly said "nope not interested" (even when I'm happy to pay the $155/hr rate).
I tried a small car audio guy, hoping they'd like to have a crack at it (and be paid for it). Nope, he said car compatibility means its not worth his time/rate, and would steer me towards an aftermarket replacement.
I still feel like its a logic condition (say +1V on the aux-detect pin) which is preventing the usb port from activating, but I don't have the tools or skills to effectively troubleshoot it. Or its a hidden software setting which is a simple usb enable/disable.
PM me if you'd like to buy a discounted GD-03, aux unit, and aux-usb cable and try your luck.
I'll remain in innocent hope that someone finds a solution, before I remove the GD-03 and put the GD-02 back in so that I have access to usb charge/ipod mode from the old aux unit.
Looks like I'll have to wait until a new car to get carplay.

I decided to get a refund for the USB cable and assembly that came with the head unit, and chose to buy the same USB cable and assembly from another wrecker. Almost 2 weeks later and now apple carplay works!Glad it's finally working :goodjob: I'm guessing that maybe these few failing USB/AUX modules have had some rough treatment in their lifetime :undecided:
Sick tail lights!! Where did you get them from?They are the LED rear lights on the top model, or the SR in Australia.
I'm a 2013 GD owner in Chile. I was wondering if I can swap my head unit for a GD-03, since models vary in different regions too. I see some A/C units, dials and buttons in this forum that I don't think are the same as local models.GD-03 units are also an Australian Cartronics built unit and can only be bought nowadays via Australian Car Wreckers, they're getting pretty rare to find these days too.
Edit: Just to clarify, I read the whole thread and I know it is feasible to do this job. I just need some peace of mind as to whether you know / see any obvious constraints based on my model & region.
Just FYI mine's got OEM camera, which displays on the mirror.
Also a picture of the exterior, in case anyone wants to know how GD was in my country :)

Also note that being the top model with the climate control aircon you'll have the head unit that is the same shape as the navigation units which prevents the GD-03 from being fitted.Thanks a lot for your response, but I'm not sure if I got it correctly. GD-03 won't fit in my car because of a mismatch in shape of the unit itself and my car? Sorry but just by looking at the pictures I thought it was going to fit fine!

Correct, the base shape of the head unit fascia and aircon will not match.
They look compatible in the pictures though its deceiving, the GD-03 is a slightly deeper in the lower fascia which will leave gaps on both sides where the stereo meets the aircon fascia.Correct, the base shape of the head unit fascia and aircon will not match.
Am I getting the head unit models correctly? Just did this quick comparison based on my search at eBay AU:

Tend to think that (3) would indeed fit. And (4) won't.
I want the GD-03 so bad, I'm tricking myself to just believe it will fit in my car.If you're a crafty fellow you could make it fit, make something up to fill the gaps.
I'm going to give this a go and will report my results here.If StokeyBry has fitted one with the same setup as yours then you could be in luck, all the small variances between countries makes these mod's so confusing at times.
Cheers guys.
Anyone found somewhere that stocks just the USB (blue one) that works the Apple CarPlay? I’m sure mines dodgy and need to replace it.Replied to your msg.

Sorry I should’ve been more specific. It was becoming a real problem prior to the update it would happen more times then not, but since updating it has been continuous. I think I’ve managed to temporarily fix the lag 2 times but just happens the next time I turn my car off and on. The parts were from a wrecker but my phone and the actual screen are fast that’s why I’ve leant towards the cable connecting the two being an issue.Today is the first time in months that I've had a whole day out in the car listening to music via CarPlay and I was also getting a lot of lagging when trying to change songs via the touchscreen, must be a bug in the current Apple iOS 15.1 update.
Hi all
I have managed to get a GD-03 from ebay. The piano black plastic is a bit scratched and there's a small mark on the screen but it cost $350 so I can't complain. It didn't come with the aux/usb assy and cable unfortunately.
I rang Hyundai parts and they can't seem to find the parts based on the model number of the headunit (which I find strange). He suggested I find the year model of the car that definitely has the GD-03 and call back.
Has anyone bought the parts new from Hyundai in Australia? If so, did you take note of the part numbers?? If not, would it be safe to say the 2016 i30 year model definitely had a GD-03? Apparently a VIN number of a i30 with GD-03 would be helpful.
TIA!

UPDATE.
Spent a bit of time on the phone with the local Hyundai parts dept. Apparently you can't buy the USB cable separately - you have to buy the whole dash wiring loom?? approx $4k worth!! :eek:
He quoted the KIA part number the he found on the net (possibly from here ;) ) - 96595A5000. He checked with the local Kia dealer and apparently that part number is unavailable in Australia!
Almost bloody impossible to get one!! :lol:
@jprice46 I'm assuming you already had the correct cable? and that it was just tired?
Ive tried a few wreckers - most have no idea what you're talking about, or, they won't sell the USB cable separately from the unit.
Any other ideas??
Thanks!
Has anyone installing the GD-03 been required to put in a code for the new unit ?I don't remember requiring a code when I installed mine.

Hi everyone!
I'm wating for ma GD-03 unit to arrive and I've made some research. In the back where the original camera should have been, I found something like this
(https://i.ibb.co/vctgH3s/IMG-20220629-WA0000.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cymM16b)
It may be a connection to the camera, but I do not have A14 and A15 pins in the radio connector.
Does anyone have wiring diagram instructions where do these cables go? Or does anyone know what this cube is for?
Hi there, great tutorial - thanks to all contributors.Try JayCar
just wondering if anyone knows of a place here in Perth to buy the 2mm pitch connector.
cheers.
Just joined this fantastic forum to post my results:Firstly, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this very helpful thread across the years. My 16yo daughter just bought a 2015 Active-X for her first car, so this thread continues to give in 2024!
I sourced a GD-03 unit from Ebay for about $300 and followed VTHs guide to install. As a lot of people have found, the usb/cable is a bigger issue than installing the unit itself!!
There is a quick workaround though - the cable Teegan linked to on Aliexpress does work. It's also available on ebay sellers with Australian stock for about $16. There are two versions so buy the one that terminates with the usb port.
Then, just plug the cable I to the back of the head unit and run the usb end down the back of the a/c unit and out the bottom of the fascia (near the glovebox) and that's it!!
The only parts that needed to be removed were the air vent trims and 4x screws holding in the head unit
