We have a 2010 with the basic radio, not the navigation unit. Our state has a hands-free phone statute, but the Hyundai Bluetooth function quit in 2014. I installed the cheapest generic Android that I could find on the Amazon River. If we buy something from the world's longest river, we can always return it to the jungle. The radio antenna converter was a mismatch, so I spent $20 extra for a splitter, a Fakra, and a HFC converter to enable the OEM antennas. I had invested many hours of how-to videos and read everything I could find on Google before I bought the bottom of the line unit. My goal was a backup camera and a hands-free phone, not state of the art performance. If our children are not content with this head Unit, they can always buy a better one. Most of these units, regardless of price, use an
MTK-8227L microprocessor that can only address up to 2GB of RAM. Vendors can refuse to acknowledge and answer technical questions, and buyers may not know what questions to ask. Therefore, we bought the cheapest one with an old hardware design.
Installation required using multiple plastic levers and a #2 Philips screwdriver. The OEM CD changer will no longer work, so eject your favorite disks before you disconnect the battery. The online videos do not provide all the information required to remove the bezels. Look for two screws under the instrument panel bezel. The knee level bezels must be lowered first, but not completed removed, to reveal the two hidden screws.
We retained the CD player face plate, so it still looks original.
So far, it does what it claims to do. We immediately linked our phones to the HU, programmed the navigation to our neighborhood, and set our favorite radio stations. Everything appears to work as intended. If you can't install a car radio yourself, a local technician should be able to install it for a couple hundred dollars.
