Hyundai i30 Factory Feature Retention
The Aerpro AKHY1 is designed to retain important Hyundai i30 factory functions when used with a compatible aftermarket head unit.
Steering Wheel Controls
The AKHY1 retains the Hyundai i30 steering wheel audio controls, including the factory phone button, allowing compatible audio and hands-free functions to continue to be controlled from the steering wheel.

The included camera retention adaptor allows the factory reverse camera to be retained where the vehicle is equipped with a compatible original camera system.
Factory USB
The AKHY1 includes a factory USB retention harness for later Hyundai i30 models fitted with the GD-03 factory head unit. This allows the original USB connection to be retained where supported.
Important: The supplied USB retention harness only suits later-model vehicles equipped with the GD-03 factory head unit. Vehicles fitted with GD-01 or GD-02 factory head units require an APHYUSB4 adaptor, sold separately, to retain the factory USB connection.
Parking Tones
Parking tones are supported through the compatible installation configuration, providing additional integration with the vehicle's original functions.
Factory Amplifier

The AKHY1 is specifically designed for Hyundai i30 models without factory navigation. Vehicles equipped with factory navigation should be checked for compatibility before purchasing.
Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT 9-Inch Touchscreen
The Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT features a large 9-inch WSVGA capacitive touchscreen with a 1,024 x 600 resolution.

The modern flat-screen design gives the Hyundai i30 dashboard a significantly more contemporary appearance while providing quick access to commonly used functions.

The Aerpro AKHY1 does not use Pioneer CAN Bus features for this installation. Instead, the kit includes a dedicated steering wheel control adapter.
During Pioneer setup, the steering wheel control configuration should be selected through:

For vehicles fitted with the earlier GD-01 or GD-02 factory head units, the supplied USB retention harness is not compatible. An APHYUSB4, sold separately, is required if factory USB retention is desired.
