Hi guys n gals.
My first post was solved by some awesome members.
But now I have another problem

My radio turns on. All the functions work. But I get no sound.
Iv used a multimeter and got continuity on all the speakers. Everything is plugged in and tight.

Iv seen an awesome write up on how to upgrade to a newer stereo
But that’s not for me. My question is...

If I go to a wrecking yard and pull a stereo from an identical vehicle. Will it plug and play? Will there be any coding issues etc?

Thanks in advance. Also I’m open to suggestion on what else I can check. But fairly certain the head unit is cactus.

GD-01 stereos unfortunately are quite poor quality, yes you can plug and play and no codes are required.

Thank you. If I was to order a facia from eBay. And a dbl din stereo from say super cheap. Could I get it to operate with my steering controls? Total noob at stereos. And I try to YouTube everything before asking

Depend on the head unit I guess and whether there are harnesses and patch leads to suit, find a stereo you like then use Aerpro to search what wiring and fascia are needed by adding the stereo model number into the space provided.

Just a thought..... Your controls are not on mute by chance

Unfortunately not. It went in stages. First the radio dropped in and out. Then only Bluetooth worked (I was fine with this ) then Bluetooth stopped working.

There’s aslautomedia who do repairs on the GD stereos though at $295 I would do the plug and play upgrade to a GD-03 unit from a wrecker.  https://www.aslautomedia.com.au/hyundai-i30-stereo-repair-service

Went to a local auto wrecker. 5 mins I had a stereo ripped out of a 2015 i30. Paid $100 (prob too much but oh well) 5 mins later had it plugged in a belting out some AC/DC. That’s a win in my book. Thank you all for the help and advice. Loving this group

$100 isn't bad, I guess it was a GD-02 model otherwise you would require the usb lead and attached usb module.
