All the best

Good evening.
Here’s a link to a video showing how to replace the rear speakers with coaxial speakers in the Hyundai i30 GD:



Best regards

Solved it!

No need for some fancy control box.

You can just connect the supplied cable to B4 (steer control) & B17 (gnd) then turn on the custom controls in the Sony unit, hold down the buttons and program them.
Everything was working except Mute but I reprogrammed that to pause which is way more useful for me.





I ended up just cutting and soldering these 2 directly to the steering input cable that came with the new head unit.

With how many patch cables I needed to buy, how confusing it was to figure out and how expensive it was I would honestly just recommend anyone with even the tiniest but of soldering/crimping skill to just bite the bullet and make their own patch cables or wire it up directly. For the most part things could be connected directly looking at the old and new head unit wiring diagram.

I can bin this piece of expensive junk.

good choice , ive driven all the ev,s you mentioned and then alot more for work everything from the cheapest chinese right up to maybach eqs680 and the byd drove really well and look great along with the hyundai ioniq , i hated teslas they just seemed rubbish to me but thats just my opinion .
