The Aerpro AKHY21 is a vehicle-specific installation kit designed for Hyundai iX35 2013-2015 Series 2 vehicles without factory navigation.
The kit provides the fascia, wiring interfaces, steering wheel control components, antenna adaptor and camera retention adaptor required to install a compatible 9-inch trapezoid-shaped aftermarket head unit while retaining important original vehicle features.
Aerpro AKHY21 Kit Includes
- Black vehicle-specific fascia kit
- Steering wheel control interface harness
- Steering wheel control patch lead
- Antenna adaptor
- Factory reverse camera retention adaptor
The vehicle-specific fascia is designed to provide a clean and integrated appearance within the Hyundai iX35 dashboard, while the supplied wiring and interface components simplify integration between the Pioneer head unit and the vehicle's original systems.
Hyundai iX35 Factory Feature Retention
One of the major advantages of using the correct Aerpro AKHY21 installation kit is the ability to retain important factory Hyundai iX35 functions when replacing the original head unit.
Steering Wheel Controls
The AKHY21 retains the Hyundai iX35 steering wheel controls, including the factory phone button, allowing compatible audio and phone functions to continue to be controlled directly from the steering wheel.
Factory Reverse Camera
The AKHY21 includes a camera retention adaptor and supports retention of the factory reverse camera where the vehicle is equipped with the compatible factory camera system.
This allows drivers to continue using the original reverse camera through the upgraded Pioneer touchscreen rather than requiring the factory camera to be removed.
Vehicle Menu
The AKHY21 supports retention of the vehicle menu, helping maintain access to compatible original vehicle settings through the upgraded installation.
Factory Amplifier
The AKHY21 is designed for vehicles without a factory amplifier. Factory amplifier retention is not supported.
AUX and USB
Factory AUX and USB retention are not supported through the AKHY21 installation kit.
The Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT provides its own USB connectivity and smartphone integration for compatible devices.
Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT 9-Inch Touchscreen
The Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT features a 9-inch WSVGA capacitive touchscreen with 1,024 x 600 resolution.
The large-format display provides a clear and responsive interface for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, music, Bluetooth and compatible connected functions.
The modern flat-screen design gives the Hyundai iX35 dashboard a significant visual upgrade while providing quick access to commonly used entertainment and smartphone functions.
Wireless Apple CarPlay
The Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT provides wireless Apple CarPlay, allowing compatible iPhones to connect to the head unit without requiring a USB cable.

Compatible applications can include Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, Apple Music and other supported services.
Wired Apple CarPlay is also supported for customers who prefer a physical connection.

Instead, the kit includes a dedicated steering wheel control adapter to interface the Pioneer head unit with the vehicle's original steering wheel controls.
During Pioneer setup, the steering wheel control configuration should be selected through:
