  Hi there bobbyd, i was only there about 3 months ago asking the same question from Liam and after him chasing it for a few days he got back to me and said  this mod wasnt possible. Maybe i didnt ask nicely enough. I will be ordering and installing soon.

Further to my last, anyone else wanting to get the audio controls- give Liam at Bunbury Hyundai and Volkswagen a call, he was great and excellent prices.

Well i got my controls and loom yesterday and being the impatient person i am i went ahead and fitted it- the steering wheel pulled off by hand, its a pull and the all of a sudden type of action but no puller tool necessary. 

The biggest pain was not knowing how to undo the airbag loom, its not a simple plug/unplug of any sort.  Guess they dont want someone removing it and not replugging it in.

So i had to leave the airbag sitting there, which made getting the blanking cover off a bit difficult- you have to unscrew the back of the steering wheel off to get a screwdriver then facing forward to remove the blanking cover and screw the controller in.

But i got it done (took and hour which was longer than i expected but worth it) it all works perfectly, I'm glad Hyundai maintain a loom from the clock spring to the head unit for all models including the SX

Anyone needing advice pls let me know

I try to be hands on mate, but man i would love to get my hands on a workshop manual for the i30, i reckon i could probably rebuld the whole car with one of those, much quicker than some of the guesswork involved whilst not breaking things you intend to pull apart

We should start a business together (we could call it "Bobby Dazzlers"

[agentr31]

LOL!!!

[agentr31]

thats it LOL im gonna do this mod!

[bobbyd]

"bobby dazzlers" Ha ! sounds good :-)

I did previously see that thread/link and i signed up but never received membership in order to download, perhaps they don't like any non US subscribers??  Has anyone else managed to subscribe and download from there???

Agentr31- its worth the time and $$ for this mod, a cheap investment, the controls look good (especially at night), are functional (good to keep your hands on the wheel and a selling point to later on) and not expensive by any means.

I priced up a top box (glove box above the head unit) as part of my install- going to put a centre speaker there- it came in at $240 just for that, so $85 plus loom for the steering wheel audio control is cheap.

[agentr31]

doesnt yours have the storage compartment on the top of the dash?

I'm going to use mine to house a centre speaker (actually a 4 inch mid and 2 inch tweeter- so 2 speakers) so i wanted another to keep in order to restore it to original one day, came across a fascia and storage compartment from a local wreckers for $120, but i was just comparing the price of that to the steering wheel controller to point out this is a good value for $$ mod in my opinion.

On a side note i just found a workshop manual on CD from USA ebay and ordered it, hoping its a decent quality and the $40 will be worthwhile.  Keep you all posted on that

[agentr31]

ahh i see! i usually keep my oringinal parts... even though ill never use them again! i mean, once you do something its usually there for the cars life!

[bobbyd]

Yes well that has been my previous experience, doing an install and then selling the car with all the mods in it at a massive loss. No one wants to pay much more than market value for a car regardless of what's been spent on it.  So this time around I'll make it all removable and have the ability or at least the option of getting it back to standard or close to it. But with this install it requires cutting the radio fascia and top storage compartment, maybe the boot trims etc, so I've gathered duplicate parts in order to do that.

And hopefully i can get an adapter to allow the Alpine head unit to hook up to the steering wheel audio controller !!  It should be possible.

[agentr31]

makes sence if you dont plan on keeping the car for a while!

[bobbyd]

PS if you attempt this mod yourself, make sure you read the clock spring alignment note on the yellow sticker of the clock spring, otherwise if it isnt aligned properly it may break

[agentr31]

umm... there is a note? someone got a HI-res pic of the yellow sticker?

[bobbyd]

I can take a photo if you need but all clock springs have the directions on there- you turn it all the way clockwise til it stops, then turn 3 turns anti clockwise and continue a little until the alignment marks meet up (little arrows).  Then the steering wheel can go back on and the loom plug on the clock spring will be up the top.

I worked out the airbag loom- at the back of the airbag (not the clock spring side of the loom) use a small flat head screwdriver to pull the yellow section of the plug out a little, the plug will then pull off the airbag and this makes it heaps easier to get the wheel off etc and put the audio controls on.

I'm out of time but anyone wanting more info or photos i can post up next week- right now im off for long weekend holiday, hope everyone else as a great weekend !

..."The part numbers i have stated here are correct for volume module only. I have cruise control as well therefore i had the wrong wiring loom for this plug. The hyundai dealer worked out the correct pinout for the right side plug and added volume all into one plug."

Hi

I am considering the purchase of an i30 manual diesel wagon with factory cruise, but there are seemingly none in Australia. I'm told by one dealer they can take the base model manual diesel wagon and add a factory cruise module; if I pay for them to take the wheel off I may as well have the radio controls added as well. Do you mind sharing what the correct loom part number is if there is a cruise control module in place as well? Thanks.

part number for cruise and audio loom is  561502L500

[agentr31]

yeah i got on to a dealer who has the audio controls for $85 and a y loom to suit

WOW i paid almost double that BUT its from someone i know, so if anything is wrong with it, i can give it back no probs...

[eyecon]

Yeah great stuff Pauly and bobbyd. I had a hit a dead end with this some time ago, but not now. Thanks heaps.

Bobbyd, are you taking your car to Hyundai to have the parts inserted or are you attempting this one your self?

[bobbyd]

Did it myself mate

[eyecon]

Well done. Can I assume the battery is disconnected before removing the steering wheel?

[bobbyd]

 Ensure steering wheel is straight.  Yep, disconnect battery, remove hex screws on the side of wheel.   Pull out airbag and disconnect the air bag and horn looms.  (airbag loom has a little yellow sectino which needs pulling out using a flat blad screwdriver before the rest of the loom unclips)

Undo the steering wheel nut (easiest with a rattle gun and socket) Pull steering wheel off so you can take backing trim off wheel.  Then you can unscrew blanking cap and screw back in the audio control.  Be careful how you route the audio/cruise loom otherwise it will push on the backing trim.  Set the clock spring according to instructions on the spring yellow label.

Put steering wheel back on and tighten nut + washer with rattle gun til firm.  Put airbag loom and horn loom back on and place airbag back into wheel.  Refit hex screws into sides and vwala !!  Hope that all makes sense.

[agentr31]

rattle gun!!!

another tip, DONT undo the nut right off... leave it on 2 or 3 turns then bang the wheel on the sides and pull it off the splines

the reason for this is, sometimes the wheel gets "stuck" on there and when you remove the nut right off and start reefing on the wheel what happens...

FACE FULL OF FAIL!! thats right you get a face full of steering wheel...

[agentr31]

wow... looks like i just wasted $200... my clock spring is different... it only has the lower row of connectors... so to put it nicely "im f#%73d"

Don't despair.. I'm sure someone will come up with a solution.. maybe an exchange with another member..

[agentr31]

well... im making a plan as we speak...
