Good day all, Im in Korea and just picked up a 2010 i30 and have the most generic stereo ever in it, no bluetooth or nothing.
I am going to install a pioneer 2 din unit. I have found the wiring harness and antenna adaptor and even ordered the new facia from ebay/china.
But cant find the metal mounting bracket.....except in Austrailia (expensive).

Does it need one, or will the factory bracket inside hold it? I pulled the dash apart alreadt as its so easy, and it looks double din ready.

I been through all the topics here and did see one referance to a double din bracket, but that item cant be found anymore.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Shayne!

I can't help with your query, but a big welcome anyway. Hopefully someone can. 

Does this link for Aerpro help Hyundai i30 2007-2012 FD | Aerpro

yeah it kinda does....looks like according to that site I wont need it, since I have the double din facia dash peice coming. though it looks as though the stereo will stick out at the top a bit wihtout a proper face plate....but Im willing to bet I can drill new holes on the OEM bracket to get that angled back a bit to look right.

Thanks

You’re welcome

Hey mate, welcome to the forums!

I did an install using a fascia without cutting and I used the factory brackets. The head unit does stick out a bit. But I learnt to deal with it mainly because I only notice it when I look side on. I haven’t seen one with an aftermarket bracket so I don’t know if it helps with the sticking out. That being said , I do prefer it to stick out a touch so the fan at the back of my head unit has a bit more room to breathe.

Short answer: no you don’t need it.

Good info....Ill look into that...due to the heat I may have a shop install it for me....just cant see myself installing a sterieo in 95F + weather here in Korea...gonna be 101 and 102 for the next few days....

New fascia is taking long to get here....from China

Interesting you use Farenheit (but that is hot in any scale) 

Yeah, distance doesn't always make much difference with freight. Depends on the route it takes to get there.

  I am old enough to remember both scales and their relativity. I still occasionally convert them backwards and forwards in my head. In some ways I prefer the Fahrenheit scale. A couple of degrees Celcius can make quite a difference to how hot or cold it feels.

Yes, a slow boat from China is never a good thing.
