Combined with the Aerpro AKHY19, the Pioneer head unit can be installed using vehicle-specific components rather than attempting to adapt a universal radio directly into the original Santa Fe dashboard.
Aerpro AKHY19 Hyundai Santa Fe Installation Kit
The Aerpro AKHY19 is a vehicle-specific installation kit designed for Hyundai Santa Fe 2006-2009 non-amplified models.
The kit provides the fascia, wiring and steering wheel control interface components required to install a compatible 9-inch trapezoid-shaped aftermarket head unit while retaining the vehicle's steering wheel controls.
Aerpro AKHY19 Kit Includes
- Black vehicle-specific fascia kit
- Steering wheel control interface harness
- Steering wheel control patch lead
The black fascia is designed to provide a clean, integrated appearance within the original Hyundai Santa Fe dashboard, while the supplied interface components simplify connection between the vehicle and the Pioneer head unit.
Hyundai Santa Fe Factory Feature Retention
Using the correct Aerpro AKHY19 installation kit allows important factory functionality to be retained when upgrading the Santa Fe's original head unit.
Steering Wheel Controls
The AKHY19 retains the Hyundai Santa Fe steering wheel controls, allowing compatible audio and connected functions to be controlled from the steering wheel after the Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT has been installed.
Factory Amplifier Compatibility
The AKHY19 is specifically designed for non-amplified Hyundai Santa Fe models.
The kit does not suit factory amplified vehicles. Customers with a factory amplified Santa Fe should confirm compatibility before purchasing, as a different installation solution may be required.
Factory Reverse Camera
The AKHY19 does not provide factory reverse camera retention. The Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT does, however, feature camera connectivity for compatible aftermarket or separately integrated camera systems.
Factory USB and AUX
Factory USB and AUX retention are not supported through the AKHY19 installation kit.
Feature retention is dependent on the vehicle specification, original factory equipment and head unit configuration.
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.
For an older Hyundai Santa Fe, the large Pioneer touchscreen creates a significant visual and technological upgrade over the original factory radio while providing access to current smartphone connectivity.
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.
Apple CarPlay provides access to supported navigation, music, phone, messaging and other compatible applications through the Pioneer touchscreen.
Compatible applications can include Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, Apple Music and other supported services.
Wired Apple CarPlay is also supported.
Wireless Android Auto
Compatible Android smartphones can connect using wireless Android Auto or through a wired connection.
Android Auto provides access to compatible navigation, music, calls, messages and supported applications through the 9-inch Pioneer touchscreen.
For customers searching for a Hyundai Santa Fe Android Auto head unit, the DMH-AP6850BT provides modern smartphone integration without compromising the large-screen experience.
Bluetooth 5.4
Built-in Bluetooth 5.4 provides wireless connectivity for compatible smartphones.
Use Bluetooth for hands-free phone calls and wireless audio streaming while keeping your smartphone connected to the Pioneer head unit.
Dual Camera Inputs
The DMH-AP6850BT features dual AHD 1.0 camera inputs, providing additional camera connectivity for compatible installations.
Although the Aerpro AKHY19 does not retain the factory reverse camera, the Pioneer provides camera inputs for compatible aftermarket camera installations and future upgrades.
Premium Pioneer Audio Processing
The DMH-AP6850BT provides advanced audio processing, making it an excellent foundation for a Hyundai Santa Fe sound system upgrade.

- 3-way network mode
- Manual time alignment
- High-pass filter

The 4V RCA pre-outs provide a strong platform for adding aftermarket amplifiers, speakers and subwoofers to the Hyundai Santa Fe audio system.
OEM Integration & Steering Wheel Control Setup
The Aerpro AKHY19 does not use Pioneer CAN Bus features for this installation.
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:
Menu ? Steering Wheel Control ? With Adapter
rather than selecting CAN Bus Adapter during initial setup.
This configuration helps ensure the retained Hyundai Santa Fe steering wheel controls operate correctly with the Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT.
Full HD USB Playback
The Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT supports Full HD video playback via USB and provides USB connectivity for compatible devices and media.
