Title: HOW TO: UPGRADE YOUR GD-01/GD-02 TO A GD-03 HEAD UNIT STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
Post by: VTH on August 04, 2017, 10:24:24
Hi all,

After noting the level of interest on the forum and via PM from people seeking information on how to upgrade their current head unit to the GD-03 (Android Auto/Apple Carplay compatible) I decided it would be a good opportunity to share my knowledge on how this is done via a step-by-step DIY guide.

Recently I managed to successfully swap out my factory GD-01 for a GD-03 head unit. There were several reasons I decided to upgrade my head unit to the GD-03:

•   Larger screen size
•   Visually nicer looking GUI
•   Sound quality improvement for radio, Bluetooth and USB media as well having many more options on EQ if you’re into that.
•   Android Auto/Apple Carplay compatible – This was obviously the biggest deciding factor to upgrade and one of the best features about the unit.

The installation wasn’t exactly plug and play however and it requires a few extra steps to get the unit working perfectly. 

Please note that this guide covers how to upgrade your GD-01 head unit to a GD-03, although, having looked at the GD-02 pinouts vaguely I believe there shouldn’t be a problem with following my steps to achieve the same result.



WHAT YOU WILL NEED

These are the items you will need to have ready before commencing your installation:


GD-03 Head unit

I sourced the head unit from a wrecker and I recommend getting one through this way as you will also then be able to grab yourself the AUX/USB jack assembly and USB lead which are vital components of the install. If you purchase the unit online ensure that it comes with the lead and the jack assembly. All up it cost me $215.



AUX/USB jack assembly + USB lead

It is imperative that you have these two items. The AUX/USB jack assembly + USB lead will provide the data link that Android Auto/Apple Carplay needs from your phone to the head unit. Without this you will have a functioning head unit but no AA/Carplay. You will not be able to use the existing AUX/USB jack assembly in your car as Hyundai decided to change the ports for the GD-03 which I’ll explain later.

You can purchase this online for under $10 or you can find them at a local automotive store.

This will be needed if you decide to do the de-pining of a wire from the central harness yourself in STEP 6 of the tutorial. Otherwise if you think you can’t then get a technician to do it for you



REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION STEPS


STEP 1A - Remove right-side air vent panel:

Starting at the bottom we will use the plastic trim remover to wedge it between panel and the gear box cover and then pulling the panel outwards then towards the rear of the car. Work your way up the panel until you have it removed completely. Don’t be afraid to use a bit of force. The panel is held together by clips inside.

STEP 1B - Remove left-side air vent panel:

Repeat steps in 1A to remove the left side panel.

(https://preview.ibb.co/iycyCF/DSC_1080_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/fc0wzv)



STEP 2 – Remove Ac control panel:

Remove the screws holding the AC control panel in place, there are four in total as shown. To remove the AC control panel you simply hold the top half of the unit and pull it towards the rear of the car, you will need to use a bit of force as it doesn't come off easily. After that unplug the connectors at the back and set the panel aside. This must be done to access the AUX/USB jack assembly.

(https://preview.ibb.co/k9pBXF/DSC_1094_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/g2uOev)



STEP 3 – Remove existing AUX/USB jack assembly:

This initial step is optional, but I found by doing this it helped provide more room for me to access the AUX/USB jack assembly.
To the left you will see a white-coloured clip holding the compartment together. Using two fingers pinch this clip from the back and push it towards the rear of the car until it pops out onto the other side. You can pull the bottom plastic part where my left hand is positioned to assist with this procedure.


(https://preview.ibb.co/dUvksF/DSC_1100_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/hT7bzv)

Repeat the same steps on the right hand side.

(https://preview.ibb.co/n6tK2F/DSC_1099_2.jpg) (https://ibb.co/g3E3Uv)

It should now look like this:

(https://preview.ibb.co/j0YQba/DSC_1105.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kY9ywa)

Now you have room to access the AUX/USB jack assembly. To dislodge the jack assembly you will need to press down hard on the groove on both sides of the piece as shown and then either push it towards the rear of the car or use something solid to knock it out.


(https://preview.ibb.co/iFHkba/DSC_1106_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/dzvGhF)


Unplug the connector from the jack assembly. You will note how the existing AUX/USB jack assembly has only one large port that essentially powers both the USB and AUX. The new AUX/USB jack assembly you will be installing is different in that it has been split into two ports; one for AUX and one for USB. The GD-03 head unit rear ports also differentiate itself from the GD-01 and GD-02 by separating the USB functionality from the A/B and creating its own port. This is why it is important you source the new jack assembly for this to work. Getting the AUX to work will require some extra work (possibly an adapter) but since I don’t plan on using the AUX I’ve decided to leave it alone and only focus on the USB for Android Auto/Apple Carplay and USB media.

(https://preview.ibb.co/iVHkba/DSC_1112_2.jpg) (https://ibb.co/hhFGhF)



STEP 4 – Install new AUX/USB jack assembly

Simply take your new AUX/USB jack assembly and fit it into the slot that is now vacant. Plug USB lead into the rear and then loop up ready to connect it to the head unit later. Re-position the two white-coloured clips back to its original place.

(https://preview.ibb.co/j71NNF/DSC_1116.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kXuywa)



STEP 5 – Remove existing head unit

Remove the screws holding the existing head unit to the console. There are four screws in total as shown. Slide it out and then unplug the radio cord and the A/B connectors as shown (remove everything that is plugged into the head unit).

(https://preview.ibb.co/ird59v/DSC_1129.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cB8iwa)



STEP 6 – De-pin A9 (reverse cam) wire from central harness terminal

This step is essential if you own a GD-01 head unit WITHOUT reverse cam, although, I believe all GD-01’s do not have reverse cam anyway so either way if you own a GD-01 you will have to de-pin the A9 wire from the central harness terminal to have the head unit working correctly. Someone can confirm this but users who own a GD-02 WITH reverse cam I believe this step is not required at all and it is simply a matter of plug and play. Users who own a GD-02 WITHOUT reverse cam this step may/may not be required. If you are one of these users it might be best to first plug all the connectors in and test the head unit to see if it’s working. If you are having the same issue as I did re: the head lights then do this step.

The issue I encountered when I originally installed the head unit was that when any of the car head lights (parking lights, head lights, high beams etc…) were in the OFF position the display would switch to the reverse cam (even though I don’t have reverse cam) screen and you would not be able to navigate out. Putting the car into P, D, or N also did not make any difference. However, when the head lights were in the ON position the reverse cam screen would no longer show and I could use the head unit freely with no problems. After comparing the pinouts for the GD-01 and GD-03 it was evident that the A9 wiring (reverse cam) for the GD-01 was not in use (N/C not connected) However it was somehow still feeding voltage into this.

Picture of the reverse cam (I don't have a reverse cam) being shown on the screen:
(https://preview.ibb.co/fbvJUv/DSC_1138.jpg) (https://ibb.co/g8Wspv)

The solution was to de-pin the reverse cam (A9) wire from the terminal.

Before you do this you need to first make the decision on whether you are confident enough to perform this yourself after reading the steps. If you are not confident your next option could be to get into contact with a local technician specializing in car/audio installations and ask them to do this for you at a minimal fee, it is a 5 min job for them if you remove the head unit yourself. Your other option is to cut this wire if you don’t think you’ll ever be installing a reverse cam.
Disclaimer: Please do step 6 at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damages that may result from this.


This is the wire (A9) you will need to de-pin from the terminal. Black and yellow striped wire that is part of the A connector:

(https://preview.ibb.co/gvQA9v/DSC_1148_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/knu3Uv)


To de-pin the wire, you need to pry the guard back (grey part) on the underbelly of the terminal. This would then allow you to pop the lever back for you to de-pin the wire. Use the smallest pick you can find and insert into A9 hole and force the pick upwards you should then be able to slide the A9-wire out from the back. Then tape the wire up. I’ve tucked it away under black tape as shown here:

(https://preview.ibb.co/k9H7pv/DSC_1150_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/fPnU2F)

(https://preview.ibb.co/n8QGhF/DSC_1139_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/nkGNNF)

(https://preview.ibb.co/fk4sNF/DSC_1167_1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/e6U3Uv)



STEP 7 – Plug all connections into the GD-03 head unit

Once you have de-pinned the wire it is time to re-plug the connectors into the GD-03 head unit. Plug the radio lead, A/B connectors and the USB lead into the rear of the head unit. You will also now be able to test the head unit. Switch on the head unit and test that it is powering on and functioning correctly.

(https://preview.ibb.co/ikhAba/DSC_1132.jpg) (https://ibb.co/nbB3wa)



STEP 8 – Put everything back into place!

First start with slotting your GD-03 head unit into place and screw back in the nuts that you took out (x4 nuts). Next do the same with the AC control panel and screw it back into place (x4 nuts). Then re-insert the air vent panels back in.

This is an awesome guide, can't wait to do it. Just a quick one - I read somewhere this might not work with GD premium models with Navigation already installed? Is this correct?

I guess it should be possible :undecided: though you would likely require a GD03 head unit with satnav (if there is one :undecided:) as the unit fascia's are a different fit between the non and included satnav version, someone with more knowledge in this area will hopefully add their thoughts.

Thanks for the quick response mate. I don't believe the GD03 came with Sat Nav as it would just use the maps on your phone (I remember reading this somewhere but it may not be correct).

Here's a pic of mine which looks like it might work (hopefully). (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171010/07491e3d8da0a8adb2c1d507ff703782.jpg)

All I can say is that when asking wreckers for a GD03 unit they always asked with or without Satnav

If you look at the lower section of your unit fascia it is a different shape to the non Satnav models.

Ahh I see what you mean. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll do some research to see if there's a fascia that could make it work.

They’re out of late 2015 to 2016 models and have no CD player, they also have a sticker on the back of them which says GD03 :)

Can you just buy one of these headunits from eBay and it will work or is there some sort of radio code or pin that needs to be input? I notice that some sellers are mentioning there are no radio codes and the unit may need a Hyundai dealer to unlock.

No code was required when I upgraded the GD01 to a GD03 unit, easy change over :)

Thank you so much for posting this. Your step by step photos and instructions are brilliant! I'd love to do this, and upgrade my head unit to have Apple Car Play/Android but all those instructions leave me terrified. Might have to be nice to the husband and sweet talk him into it...  :D

I'd like to try it myself, and learn something new, but to be honest, it's a tad scary  :lol:

If I can't obtain a head unit from a wreckers, can they be purchased from Hyundai? Or anywhere else?

Again, thanks so much for this.

It's good that you would even consider trying it yourself. By all means ask your local dealer, but from our experience things like replacement Audios are way overpriced from most car companies. That is why we recommend buying a secondhand one on line or from a wreckers. Usually an aftermarket one from a reputable brand like say Kenwood, Pioneer or similar would be better and cheaper than a factory one from the dealer. But, they may prove me wrong.  :cool:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the motto of all car dealers is "Gouge, gouge, gouge", so I'll try the wreckers first and see what I can find.

Works like a dream (with exception to the AUX port, as this is not connected).  Has anyone worked out how to get the AUX connected?  Is there a harness you can connect to the old connecter that connects to the new one?

Mine's not that model so I don't know of adaptor harnesses but if I had to do that, I'd build my own adaptor by investigating pin-to-pin continuity. A multimeter, a length of old computer ribbon cable and a soldering iron would do it.

Great work on this diy!

Does all the steering wheel controls still work fine?
Does apple car play connect via USB?
Really not fussed with the aux, but was there anything that needs to be done/modded similar to the pin removal?

It all works as VTH has explained, steering controls work and Apple Play/Android Auto functions via the USB connection.

GUIDE UPDATE - USB CABLE

I did the upgrade from a GD-01 earlier this year and was able to get complete functionality without the USB port assembly and cable. Here are my results in case anyone is in a similar position.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

If you have a GD-03 compatible USB assembly but no cable buy a 5 pin USB cable for 2mm pitch header like this one
(https://image.ibb.co/nQe3yS/usb_2mm_2mm_1x5.jpg) (http://pcpartsandcables.com//product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=123)
(note standard USB headers are 2.54mm and will not fit into the port at the back of the GD-03)

or

If you do not have the GD-03 USB assembly you can buy a pre-made cable like this one
(https://image.ibb.co/jsEgk7/usbafem2mm.jpg) (http://pcpartsandcables.com//product_info.php?products_id=54)

or

If you are feeling adventurous you can follow my directions and make your own cable.

Start with a spare USB A female socket and a 4 or 5 pin 2mm pitch jumper header cable. I had some spare 5cm grove connectors which were perfect.
(https://preview.ibb.co/jYXvCn/gv5cm1_01.jpg) (https://www.iot-store.com.au/products/seeed-grove-universal-4-pin-buckled-5cm-cable-5-pcs-pack)
 
The pin out is standard for the USB protocol so:
Pin 1 - VCC - Red
Pin 2 - Data- - White
Pin 3 - Data+ - Green
Pin 4 - GND - Black
Pin 5 is the shield - I only had a 4 pin header so I can confirm it will work if this isn't connected.

Cut the ends off both cables and join (I had to move the pins around in my grove connector so that the colours lined up better).


STEP 4 – Install new AUX/USB jack assembly

I don't have a GD-03 USB assembly but if you do you just need to plug the 5 pin cable in. Looking at the keying on the cable it appears at pin 1 is closest to the centre (nearest the AUX connector), pin 5 is toward the edge.

If you have an older USB assembly you will need to pull it apart. I originally tried to salvage it by hacking the existing cable and connectors but there were issues with the ground and which appears to be in common with the AUX cable so I simply removed the circuit board and hot glued the female socket in place. Easy and elegant.

(https://preview.ibb.co/fGcvCn/IMG_4616.jpg) (https://ibb.co/ei1Nsn)

Put everything back in the housing once you are done.


STEP 7 – Plug all connections into the GD-03 head unit

Once you've run your cable to the back of the GD-03 unit plug it in with pin 1 closest to the antenna socket.

Plug everything else in and you'll be good to go.

I just wanted to say that the part number tag was still attached to the USB lead I got, could come in handy for anyone who is looking.

Mine does this occasionally as well, thought it might be the lead though changing it had no effect.

It sounds similar to the interference we used to get on radios when the distributor capacitor needed replacing but as we don't have dizzies anymore and it doesn't happen when using the radio I'm guessing it's possibly interference induced through the usb modules connection or module to head unit lead connection :undecided:

I am thinking if that occurs because of the aux which is not connected to the radio therefore there the aux/usb assembly is not grounded?
Also when I switch the radio on, a pop sound comes out of the speakers once before it starts playing

I don't think AUX would have anything to do with it as it's a completely separate line :undecided: there's no interference when using maps, only music which is very odd and only happens now and again.


I'll have to experiment further, maybe having the phone to close to the usb connection might cause some Wi-Fi interference :Dunno:

Firstly, a big thanks to VTH for the awesome guide. I picked up a GD-03 last week from Stanvac to replace my faulty GD-01 (all sounds ceased working about a month ago).

Installed it today. Mostly seems to have gone well. The inbuilt Radio / Bluetooth / USB work great (yay sounds again!).

Android Auto works... with one issue. All interactivity works, I can speak to the google assistant and ask it to navigate to places and it shows the map etc. However, ANY audio from the phone is horridly distorted, be it helpful Google lady telling me where to go, or music / youtube videos played on phone. The distortion is somewhat reminiscent of the old days when you had a noisy distributor interfering with radio.

I've tried different USB cables. Later I'll borrow the wife's phone and try Android Auto with hers. Just wondering if anyone had the same issue?

Edit: I'm not the only one with my specific phone model (Oppo R7s -  :link: Android Auto - Audio issues | Oppo R7 Plus (https://forum.xda-developers.com/r7-plus/help/android-auto-audio-issues-t3442980)). Hmmm

Edit2: Ok definitely a software issue (phew, means I didn't break anything installing it myself). If I use Black Player to playback a variety of MP3 files, any files with sample rate of 44.1 kHz suffer the same distortion issue, whereas 48 or 96 kHz do not. Not sure what I can do from here.

Thanks Craig, Dazzler,

The head unit already came with the latest firmware (as per that link)... I think.. will check.

My wifes Galaxy S5 worked without distortion however, so it is likely an issue with my phone. Sigh

Craig, I'll have to dig through my spare parts bin to see if I have any ferrites handy. I don't think it would be an issue with EMI being a digital signal over the USB, but crazier things have happened. It kinda feels like a software issue (likely given that Oppo have their own UI layer on top of the standard Android stuff).

Wow thank you so much for this guide, the radio died on our 2013 i30 active not long out of its 3yr warranty.  Picked up the GD-03, cable and socket for $165 from the wrecker.  Fantastic.

I just trimmed the wire, instead of removing it from the plug, seems to have accomplished the same end.

I did indeed sign up just to thank you.  So once again, thank you very much for this.  Great write up and the pics helped enormously with the job.

First Off, great guide, thank you!!!!

I just purchased a GD-03 from a wrecker in Aus, but will be attempting to put it in my 14 GT (US i30). Talking with some of the guys in the elantra gt/i30 facebook page, I was able to source this image of the aux pinout, that I'll attempt to wire into the main harness. Also I think.... to be clear think... that the santa fe aux/usb plug PART # 961202W500 comes with an extension cable for the dash that would work for this connector (TOO bad we just need the cable). I should be able to chop-off the end for a quick splice. Thoughts?

If you do not have the GD-03 USB assembly you can buy a pre-made cable like this one

Thanks for your post Samgregory. I'm in the situation of having a GD-03 and the wrong usb/aux assembly (wrecker just pulled one from an early 2015 i30 and won't refund it)

Just to confirm, can you use a single-row (1 port) of a USB motherboard header to female USB cable? Such as one of these?

Edit: I now realise what you mean by pitch - the cables i mentioned are probably the traditional 2.54mm pitch and won't work. They need to be 2mm pitch, I understand. I'm now looking at  :link: Panel Mount USB Cable Assemblies (http://www.l-com.com/usb-panel-mount-usb-cable-type-a-female-panel-mount-to-female-5-position-2mm-pitch-housing) (since pcpartsandcables seems to be down) edit2: l-com want $50 USD for shipping for a $10 cable (shipping isn't calculated on their website - they email you after and ask for shipping)

I have bought some "seeed grove" cables from the iot website and will cut a usb extension cable instead. Probably 2-part epoxy it into place.

I popped the heatsink off the back of the GD-03 unit and it looks like it would be really easy to solder directly onto the mainboard where the USB socket is.

CONFIRMED. I GOT AUX TO WORK, at least in the american elantra gt - non sat/nav. This should theoretically work for the i30 as well.

I acquired the extension cable from a santa fe to the usb dock, that I assume runs to a lower point on the console. Part #961202W500. Removing the female end connector I was able to connect the cable and its 8 wires to the needed connections with the existing 16pin connector via t-tap connectors, and connected the male end to the 96120A5100 usb aux connection.  :link: Amazon.com: Ginsco 120 Pcs/60 Pairs Quick Splice Wire Terminals T-Tap Self-stripping with Nylon Fully Insulated Male Quick Disconnects Kit: Home Improvement (https://amzn.to/2tQazLP). This allows me to remove the HD-03 in the event that I want to add back the stock radio and without directly cutting the 16pin harness.

Just matched up the connections from the new to the old. It only works if you have the USB, as it provides power for the aux connection.

Hi,

I’m trying to complete this on a 2013 wagon with a GD-01, at the same time I’d like to install a rear view camera as it didn’t come with one, I’ve found one that goes directly into the provision for it on the trunk release.

My question is, being a standard video input would that work for this? Am I better of getting an aftermarket stereo instead?

The GD -03 unit has options for the rear view camera that functions with the factory emblem cam, I don't know what connection is required though :undecided:

The option I went for was to have The Car Kit Company come out and install a revision mirror rear view camera  :link: Reversing Cameras | The Car Kit Company (http://www.thecarkitcompany.com.au/products/reversing-camera.html) , I prefer this option as you're generally looking at the rear mirror anyway when reversing and you don't need to take your eyes off the mirror to look down at the head unit.

Originally I was trying to avoid the mirror route but I think there’s too many variables with an aftermarket head unit keeping all the existing functions as factory I.e the USB, the microphone etc but think I’ll just get the mirror thanks for that I am curious to know how much it cost you as I plan to DIY it relatively cheaply

As mentioned in my reply to your message, the units are a different shape.

If the later version satnav units have Carplay then that might be an option for you, the units should fit (dont quote me on it) though I'd expect there might be plug differences which a car audio shop could rectify for you if unable to do it yourself.

The other option is to get a third party unit fitted and matched with a new fascia from aerpro.

Hello everyone, new member here.

I'm about to do this DIY but had a couple of questions first. Firstly thank you to VTH for the amazing and detailed DIY notes.

My question is about the auxiliary and cable assemblies. Anyone from Australia know where to buy the two parts online, or in Sydney? I'm having trouble with the international sellers previously posted.
The part numbers i'm after are (or perhaps there are alternatives?):
- Cable: 96595 D3000, or 96595 A5000
- Auxiliary: 96120 A5100

Thanks everyone! Love the community here.

Hey everyone, just signed up as I'm looking at getting a 2015 i30.

I'd love to do this upgrade, but would prefer the AUX to also work.

Since the A/B plugs going onto the GD0-03 head unit are the same as the GD-02, I was thinking could you install a GD-03 head unit, keep your original AUX/USB component and simply de-pin the USB pins from the A/B plugs that go into the GD-03 and redirecting them into the USB specific pins/plug next to the aerial plug?

An aweseome chap posted the GD-02 pinout in another post:  :link: GD-02 Pinout (https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=35248.0)

Does anyone have the GD-03 Pinout?

Only issue I can think about is if some grounding is shared, but I can potentially think of a few ways around that.

EDIT: Found a picture of the GD-03 Pinout

Fantastic guide VTH - I'm enquiring about a new head unit for my 2012 i30.

With regards to pin outs, I'm presuming with exception to the USB and AUX, the head unit is just literally a plug in swap over?

The GD-01's did come with reversing camera in the Premium line up (and IIRC the next option down from that), and from what I can gather online, the GD-03's certainly had SAT Nav in that range (at least in the Premium option).

There were satnav units though they were not allocated GD-0”model numbers, supposedly the units were built/supplied by another manufacturer hence their slightly different shape on the lower fascia.

Hi Plasticphyte - I also have a 2012 i30. It is literally plug and play with the GD-03, but you do need to de-pin the reverse cam as per VTHs instruction. I just did it a couple of days ago because my GD-01 headunit stopped producing sound suddenly. Took me around 40 minutes because I took my time (I'm not a mechanic/electrician by any means). I reckon it would take me closer to 20 minutes next time now that I know how rough I can be with the trim. It is so good having sound again! Thanks again VTH!

As an update from my post above - I ended up ordering the Auxiliary jack and wire harness from  :link: Parts Hyundai | Factory OEM Parts Discounted | Online Dealer (https://www.partshyundai.com). They've been shipped but haven't arrived yet. Will post how it goes!

@Skoobij If Plasticphyte has the premium unit as his signature suggests then it's not plug and play as a GD-0" unit as I previously mentioned wont fit a satnav vehicle.

Thanks CraigB! Didn't notice the signature! I think I misunderstood the post. In that case my post above is just another success story of a GD-01 to GD-03 conversion. :goodjob:

Hi aanastasiou4 - My line of work is in no way mechanical/electrical so I may have stated the parts incorrectly. I am referring to these two parts which make up the USB/AUX input and the USB connector that go from the USB/AUX to GD-03 headunit:
- Auxiliary Jack: 96120-A5100
- Wire Harness: 96595-D3000

Post by: todd on September 11, 2018, 11:50:57
Thanks VTH for the great guide.  I replaced the GD-01 head unit in my 2014 on the weekend and it is working great.

In case anyone else is interested I had trouble getting a USB cable as the wrecker supplied the head unit and AUX port but cut all the cables!

Hyundai spare parts told me the USB cable was part of the main harness and couldn't be purchased seperatly and the main harness was AU$1500!

I managed to order the USB cable (96595-A5000) from Four Green (https://www.fourgreen.com) for much less (US$12.62 + postage), however a few days later they told me they didn't have the part and gave me a refund.

There is an alternative KIA part (96198-3W000) which both Four Green (https://www.fourgreen.com) and Korean Auto Parts (http://www.koraps.com) have in stock.

While researching the cable however, I discovered I could order the connectors and make the cable myself.

The connectors are GT17 Series (https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/HiroseGT17Brochure.PDF) from Hirose and are made up several components which include:

Housing -  GT17HS-4S-HU (You'll need two of these)
Insulator - GT17H-4S-2C (You'll need two of these)
Outer terminal - GT17HS-4S-5CF (You'll need two of these)
Centre terminal - GT8-2428SCF(70) (You'll need eight of these)

It might be a good idea to buy a few extra in case you mess up the crimping.

I ordered all these parts from Digi Key Electronics (https://www.digikey.com.au)

For the cable I used a shielded USB cable, the specific cable used in the Hyundai part is "DUSUNG E203693 AWM 2725 VW-1 80C 30V Low Voltage Computer Cable", however if you can't find this cable any shielded USB printer cable should work just fine.  Look for AWM 2725 on the cable and you should be fine. 

I happen to find some of the same cable used in the genuine Hyundai part and used a 45cm lenght which was enough to reach with some slack for ease of install.

Using some wire strippers, crimping tools and tweezers it took me 20 minutes of steady hands (the center terminal pins are tiny) to make up the cable.

(https://preview.ibb.co/gDuEQU/IMG_20180909_123527.jpg) (https://ibb.co/i1wiKp)

(https://preview.ibb.co/ctZ3Kp/IMG_20180909_125432.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kjFokU)

As I mentioned earlier the wrecker cut all the cables and sent me the cut off ends so I also have the plug with some wires that go into the AUX port. 

I'm working on making up an adapter that will allow me to plug the cable in my car to the new AUX port.  I'm currently sourcing the connectors from GD-01 AUX port (96120-A5000) so I don't have to cut up the one I have to get the plug, but I'll keep you all posted if that turns out.

Does anyone know if you can get an extension cable/part for the B plug that goes into the head unit? Or know the male and female part numbers so I could build one, similar to Todd?

I'd like to try re-routing the USB pins without messing with the original cables.

Its not easy identifying the connectors used unless they have some kind of marking on them.

The USB cable connectors had a manufacturer and model stamped on them so they weren't to difficult to find.

The other connectors, like the connector for the AUX port are a bit harder to identify.  I did find a marking on the plug on the back of the GD-01 AUX connector "KET" which turns out to be a manufacturer Korea Electrical Terminal (http://www.ket.com/kr/product/feature-search.ket?categoryCd=CA01). 

The problem I've found is if you can identity the the connector, the suppliers usually have a minimum order amount, sometimes in the thousands of units!  However you can sometimes get around this by asking for "samples" which they will send you for free  :)

@Skoobij If Plasticphyte has the premium unit as his signature suggests then it's not plug and play as a GD-0" unit as I previously mentioned wont fit a satnav vehicle.

I do still have my 2012 i30 Premium. I've been able to find a lot of what appear to be the "standard" head units fitted to the Sports models on eBay, but unfortunately not been able to find one from a Premium model. I'll probably have to physically scrounge through a wrecking lot to find something (I suspect the Premium models will be a bit harder to track down as they're not likely to have sold in as large a number as the "lower" end models).

Failing this I'll likely end up finding a third party head unit and install that instead. As much as I'd love to trade in for a new i30, I can't justify going through all that financial responsibility again! Paid my car off now and I rather like having that money back in the bank again! :)

It seems to be fairly common. Most likely done to make extracting the goodies a quick affair rather than fussing about with properly removing the units with all cabling intact.

Cant say I've heard of anyone else receiving their cables cut in half, it wouldn't make extracting the units easier either because the unit and air con panel have to be removed first to gain access to the USB/AUX module and the cable simply unplugs, cutting the cable is just a foolish mistake or done on purpose by some numbskull and should be replaced at the wreckers cost :disapp:

Hi Guys

I picked up a mint GD-03 unit and a new AUX/USB jack off eBay last week to replace a dead GD-01.

Afterwards, I mistakenly ordered the USB cable from Four Green who have not responded to my any of my emails even though I ordered and paid for the original (96595-A5000) cable. Absolutely useless company. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!

I'm considering ordering the replacement part (96198-3W000) from Korean Auto Parts... has anyone ordered from them? or going the DIY route from Digi Key Electronics like the previous poster did.

Great forum!

GD-03 stereos are an Australian unit supplied on certain 2015/2016 models, your unit appears to have the same fascia shape so it should fit, others in Europe have fitted our model so I'm guessing radio bands will be compatible.

You could try contacing Stanvac  :link: Contact Us (http://www.stanvac.com.au/contact-us) via email and see if they will post to the UK, you'll need to ask for the - GD-03 head unit - usb module and connecting usb cable.

The car has just come out of warranty so no problem there. Some of the navigation models do have car play/AA in the UK, but they are expensive even used units I have seen for £600.
The GD-03 sounded like the perfect solution but they are not easy to find. I will keep looking for alternatives see if anything pops up.

I meant issues with the GD-03. If you go to the trouble of switching it over then it has issues. Long way to send it back and get issues sorted.

I would be hesitant buying something electronic and used from the UK to put in my car in Tassie.

There should be an aftermarket (brand new) option available. Not sure how price would compare though. :cool:

I purchased the Gd-03 unit from Australia and I live in Cyprus which is an EU country. I have not been facing any issues with it except from carplay’s music playback which is a fault in iPhone’s software (will be fixed in the coming iOS updates)!

Yes, I had the exact same as yours and the new one is just plug and play except from the camera wire which you will have to disconnect it! I bought it from an Australian seller on ebay (ultimatejap is his ebay name). He has many of them as he told me and he ships worldwide so, give it a shot!

I have just had a quick look at there feedback and I see a couple of GD-03 units being sold recently.

Seems like they are cutting the end of the wires
I didn't see any reviews mentioning their cutting of cables :undecided:

I have found a unit with thanks to @aanastasiou4 and @CraigB

Now all I need is the usb cable to connect the port to the stereo unit as they have none available. Is there any of these for sale anywhere?

Hi All

First post. I purchased the GD-03 head unit last week from ultimatejap in Smithfield via ebay and it came quickly and well wrapped. $215AU shipped but ebay had 5% off on top so a little less in real life.  The AUX unit came but with the USB cable cut  :-[ but they were clear about that, so no problem there. I have purchased the parts to make the cable Digi-Key Electronics as per a previous poster. I will build the cable and install over the next week and post. Digi were very efficient and the parts came from the USA in 4 days. the parts are cheap but shipping is UPS only for about $25. Still the overall is about $40. I ordered a 'pigs tail USB' cable which means one end is a plug and one bare wires ready to connect which saves a little time. I'll post images and updates

Hey all, just an update on my progress.
I have ordered a GD-03 unit from ultimatejap on ebay for $288 (£160) with express posting to the uk. It was difficult with the time difference because I would be in bed as they would be at work, and when I get up they would be finished work  :sleeping:
Still got there in the end  :goodjob2: :goodjob:
Now it didn't come with the cable for USB but I have ordered one from Lithuania. It is the 96198-3W000 model from KIA SPORTAGE III, £25 for that delivered.

After all the digging and searching now I just wait. I will update once they have  arrived and I have it fitted and thanks to the person who posted alternative part numbers for the cable it was a big help.

hi All

all worked as shown by VTH. thank you VTH and then Todd for the cable tip from Digi.

What went right and wrong

1) When I ordered the cable parts I though 'I like the blue plastic interiors more'. Wrong - stupid me! The blue and grey are keyed slightly differently so the blue will not fit into the i30 radio sockets. It is basically the same , just a little plastic tab stops it sliding in. Lucking I work in a place with a workshop and they machined off the offending bit. Would have been very fiddly by hand. Moral is buy the parts Todd said
.

2) The USB cable itself is easy enough to make if you have the right tools, strippers etc etc. Again I was lucky to get help from friends in the electronics workshop at my work. Can be done with basic tools at home but you need to be patient as Todd said.

3) Taking the dash to pieces was OK as per VTH's excellent guide. Patience and more strength than yo think at times to unclip. It is make to assemble quick, not disassemble! The AUX step was a bit tricky and in the end I just cut the reverse cable in a way I could re-splice it together if I ever needed. I didn't have the right tools and trying to remove the grey cover was just tearing it to pieces.


I did get some plastic trim tools and they helped a lot prying things without damaging.

4) Radio worked fine and no pin was asked for. It still had loaded music from the previous owner who wrecked the car in a prang. Car looked not too bad in images so I am sure they were OK but still, they have my sympathy!

A sincere thanks to the club, moderators, VTH and Todd.

Installed the Nav head unit in my Elantra GT 2014 (not the GD-03, not available in the US), i wonder if i try to install the "tll3000h.hdf" update for the GD-03 it Will work in my NAV system? It looks like the GUI is very similar.

HI

I am having that occasional crackle form the left front as well on usb. Did anyone solve it?

I suspect maybe the AUX connector ground lines need to be grounded. I know it is seperate but the usb line has 4 wires plus the external shield line and their is a little circuit board on the whole AUX assembly. maybe the gorund is shared somehow.

Ok so I have received the head unit, I can't believe how fast the delivery was, it was posted on the Friday afternoon in Sydney and delivered Monday to the UK.

(https://preview.ibb.co/kZoLgz/IMG_20181001_174058.jpg)[/url]

Now the usb cable I ordered from Lithuania is still waiting to be despatched and they were purchased at the same time, probably would of been quicker ordering the cable from koraps haha. Hopefully have it by the weekend though so I can get started on the swap.

Overall that is one of the harder steps, you only pull our the top part of the lighter/AUX unit and lean it forward. That gives you access to the the clips that hold in the AUX unit. I only replaced the AUX unit but having the whole assembly from the wrecker makes it easier to study how it all works. Be a little careful removing the AUX unit as the plastic tabs that hold it in are very thin. The unit from the wrecker had one of those snapped but as I used my existing lighter 12V socket assembly it didn't matter.


As I said, study the whole assembly you got first. Good Luck


PS: In defence of numbskulls, they would get paid nothing and the lighter 12V unit is not easy to remove without damage. Finally as the wires are normally part of the wiring loom you need to cut them. Unless you know the exact details of the GD i30 GD-03 unit you probably wouldn't realise the USB is a standalone cable. Be nice if we all got a USB cable but I reserve my criticism for dealers and Hyundai. When I rang a dealer they couldn't work out the part and really didn't show much interest. Hyundai themselves ( or other brands) could join the internet age and have official parts for sale online retail. I imagine dealers sell 99% of parts via servicing cars so you wouldn't remove much business.I am sure they order via some online system.

Hello, I haven't started yet as I am waiting on the cable for the USB module, but hopefully get started this weekend.
Where did you purchase your head unit from and does it come complete with the usb module and cable?

Also the link for the pinout you posted is for a GD-01 head unit which is different to the GD-03. This post has the pinout for the GD-03

I got the headunit from eBay from rockleaautoparts in Australia, I already sourced the cable and aux unit in advance.

Sorry, should have been more clear about why I posted the diagram. The current wiring is on the left, showing a9 is "detent", whatever that means...

Thanks for the GD-03 pinout link though :)

@LargePig
Oh I see what you mean, a quick Google suggests it maybe connected to the illumination. On reflecting what the original poster had trouble with when retro fitting the unit, it sounds possible as when they switched on the head lights the head unit went into a blank screen to a non existent reverse camera.
Maybe it was to dim the screen when the headlights were turned on.

Here is the head unit fitted, no usb yet but it fitted perfect.
The USB Aux module was actually very easy to remove from my car surprisingly, as it was very tough to remove from the part I received.

I couldn't wait no lol, :mrgreen: it was gathering dust and I had to fit it. It was good to test it which was flawless.
I know the only downside I suppose taking it apart again, although it was an easy job. I reckon I could have the cable plugged in within 10 minutes it was such a breeze.
I have thought ahead on the USB module and left it out for now until the cable is plugged into it.

I have a question about the USB port, can you use a USB hub to make two USB connections? so I can plug my phone into one and a USB stick drive in the other and have functions of them both?

I haven't tried tbh, might be possible with Android but doubt it would work with Apple...even the cables used need to have the correct chip with Apple otherwise they're non-discoverable.

Another successful install here!  :happydance:

Plastic vents off, aircon module, dead GD-01 unit and AUX/USB module out in less than 30 mins... plastic removal tools made it easy.
Then plugged in replacement GD-03 unit along with USB cable and AUX/USB module to test. Headunit powered on but didn't get past the rear camera screen -- snipped the rear camera wire and unit came alive. Afterwards I upgraded to the latest software but had to do it twice as SW + Platform updated the first time but Micom did not. This took around 10 mins each time. Everything installed in around an hour.

Awesome headunit... Google Maps, Waze and Spotify all work great! The sound output and response time is much better compared to the original GD-01 unit -- especially after tweaking the equaliser etc.

Thanks to everyone for the easy install guide, tips and the software update links!  :goodjob:

Headunit powered on but didn't get past the rear camera screen -- snipped the rear camera wire and unit came alive. Afterwards I upgraded to the latest software but had to do it twice as SW + Platform updated the first time but Micom did not. This took around 10 mins each time. Everything installed in around an hour.

Awesome headunit... Google Maps, Waze and Spotify all work great! The sound output and response time is much better compared to the original GD-01 unit -- especially after tweaking the equaliser etc.

Thanks to everyone for the easy install guide, tips and the software update links!  :goodjob:
How you got the software?

I have updated it! But I connect my phone with usb. It shows the song that is playing but there no sound from the speakers. Same goes for bluetooth, apple carplay and ipod. Also when there is nothing connected I can hear the beep when I press something, when I connect the phone, the radio doen’t make the beep when I press something. Any help please?

You'll likely need to run the update twice to get all components of the update installed, and when each update is completed you need use the initialise tab "don't just exit/finish"

This is all explained in the update procedure manual if you had downloaded and read it from the same first post where you were directed to.

What do you mean initialise? After update, hyundai logo comes on, then tap on agree. Go to settings> system> default settings then press yes. Unit restarts and then do the update again and lastly procedure for default settings. Isn’t that it?

After pressing default then press initialise, make sure your version numbers are all correct as pictured.

Did you install the update from a blank USB formatted in fat32 ? you cant use the same USB with music on it  to do the upload :undecided:

Was the USB music previously uploaded to the stereos memory/storage ?  might need to reinstall the music, does audio play from the USB on your computer ?

Other than that I don't have any other ideas what may be causing the problem :Dunno: I only plug the iPhone into my USB port and that works fine.

I don't think that the usb is the issue! No sound comes through when I plug my phone and I also plugged in 2 more phones which didn't solved the problem.... The unit recognize all the devices, music titles etc. The only issue is the sound! The radio stations play normally though!

One last thought...try downloading another copy of the file and start fresh.

If update is done correctly the phone and everything else should be wiped from the stereo requiring you to re-sync phone and retune radio stations.

I can only assume something has gone wrong in the update process, there are reports on the web and here of some having clock reset issues though I've not read any reports of the no sound issue you described, just seems strange how I have the same upgraded GD-03 unit and don't see any of the issues others are reporting :confused: though I dd cut the reverse wire and haven't connected the AUX port, only the USB port is connected for myself.

Hello, another quick update.
USB module is all hooked up now and it is working fine. I even tried a USB hub to connect my phone and a USB stick at the same time and it does work, which is fantastic as I can still play the music stored on the USB stick whilst using android auto  :goodjob2:
Also my unit is on 2.04.07 firmware, is it wise to keep it as it is?  And wait until a new update will be released

Hello All

Some further updates having had the upgrade in for 2 weeks with the latest firmware.

1) The firmware is not causing me issues but I also have a cut reverse cable so the unit will not pick up reverse

2) Gosh the whole combo  is buggy ( iPhone 7 or 6s, cable, ioS12/.01 and GD-03 Head and whatever car play app you run ).

EG

        a) Waze talks and AM band audio is turned down automatically, on waze being done, AM audio is like you are 100KM form the transmitter - full of static. You need to power off the radio and all fine then. FM doesn't seem to have the issue.
        b) Random disconnects - seems helped greatly if you shut down ( swipe away ) all the other background apps that may be running on the iPhone. Various cables make no change
        c) Once ( in only two weeks ) after about 30 seconds of starting and maps talking fine the audio became a loud screech on any input, like audio feedback - USB, Bluetooth etc and thence to silence. Disconnecting phone and power cycling radio no change. After the car was turned off though it went back to normal

        d) Siri works about 50% better understanding what you said if the iPhone is on speaker phone rather than via the voice button on the unit


I would have been happy to say cartronics is crap at software but a friend with a VW Polo has constant issues too ( not sure of manufacturer of head unit ) and as above, there are so many places for bugs from phone to car. I would be curious what everyone else finds, especially those with an original factory fit.

I still enjoyed the fun of having done the job but some of the gloss is gone. If I had paid more than $200 from a wrecker I wouldn't be amused. Maybe I understand why the likes of Toyota and Mazda have been slow to release apple car play. In OZ law you need to get what you paid for and if the bloody thing crashes every second trip it would be a grey area if carplay meets that test. Does capplay do what you paid for in the advertisements?

Hopefully over the next year of so the bugs get ironed out but carplay isn't exactly new!

Interestingly, I am having mixed experiences with Android Auto in my PD. At one stage it was working seamlessly,  but now rather than press the voice command on the wheel I'm getting better results just saying ok google.  :crazy1:

Still been a bit buggy lately even using that option.  :Pout:

I had the occasional disconnect of the phone from head unit if the phone was laying down somewhere (fixed buy pulling USB for 10 seconds and replacing) though when upright on its mount it's fine, my voice on the unit works well.

Never used AM so I cant comment on that, though I believe most AM stations are also available on FM now days :undecided:

Only real issue I get is the Car Play clicking noise when listening to music but that's an Apple issue we're all waiting for them to rectify.

Thanks so much for all the helpful information here.

I was having some issues with my third party Android head unit so thought I would give the GD-03 a go.

Managed to get one to the UK from Australia and fitted it this morning before work. I got the new HU, Aux unit, and USB cable all fitted with a snipped and taped A9 cable, firmware updated from 2.0 to 2.05.05 (I couldn't find the 2.04.x firmware anywhere) all in just over an hour and everything seems to be working well :D

Thanks again,

Great stuff!
It is buggy at times, where as it won't change audio volume at time's unless the voice command is pressed then cancelled. Also the skip song button sometimes stops working on the steering wheel. 
Other than that great. 
I do also have a usb hub so I have my usb stick and phone plugged in at the same time

On the drive home from work I have noticed that these issues only occur when I try to change the volume, but instead of it changing the audio volume it will change guidance volume. Once I press the voice command button then again to cancel it the controls return to normal and work fine. Something is happening to make the guidance volume change instead of the audio, not sure what or how this happens but it is random.
It seems to me that the unit thinks that it is either listening/waiting for a voice command or something to do with the maps. I am going to look through my android auto settings and Google assistant to see if there's anything I can change.

Guidance volume should only change while directions are being spoken, once speech has stopped then audio (music) volume should be available again, that's how it works on mine.

Not sure, my phone volume is set to max for music and 60% for ringer and calls, the head unit defaults to 8 for guidance every time the vehicle is started which I'll turn up as needed via steering wheel controls while guidance is being spoken, in-between directions (guidance waiting)  I can adjust music/radio volume which defaults to 12 at startup that I've pre-set in the head-unit settings.

I had this on my first drive this morning.

As it happens Waze was on "No sound mode", when I enabled sound the volume control worked correctly: Adjusting Guidance volume when Waze was speaking, and Media when Waze wasn't.

Untested theory: Volume adjusts Guidance when Waze *would* be speaking, even if set to "No sound"....

The main issue I am having seems to be specific to Spotify. Sometimes Spotify is playing but there's no sound. All other apps are fine. I think this is due to Spotify having support for remote control of devices on the same account and getting its knickers in a twist...

I know it's not the point of the GD-03, but my word the radio functionality is the most basic I've seen in forever. Doesn't even read the RDS info like channel names.

I thought channel names were only read out with DAB units :undecided: I think DAB functionality is in the latest 2018 i30 units though even if I had it I would never see it as I always have Apple Car Play connected and running.

You can always upgrade to an aftermarket system if you want :)

Nah, RDS has been about since the late 90s, every car stereo I have ever had has shown channel names, until this one.

I'm coming to GD-03 from an Android aftermarket head unit. It was great but with annoying bugs.

I will almost always be using Android Auto so it's not a problem, just weird.

Weird, on reading it looks like RDS features didn't take off much in Australia.

Things like automatic frequency switching, traffic announcements, channel names, all useful!

It was even on the Bobby basic radio that my i30 came with.

Yeah not a big thing here that I know of though some cars may have it :undecided: mostly AM/FM with CD which the latter is being phased out now that Apple and Android are the in thing, all radios are gradually moving to DAB.

I've got DAB on the house stereo and it's better sound and signal than FM :)

CONFIRMED. I GOT AUX TO WORK, at least in the american elantra gt - non sat/nav. This should theoretically work for the i30 as well.

I acquired the extension cable from a santa fe to the usb dock, that I assume runs to a lower point on the console. Part #961202W500. Removing the female end connector I was able to connect the cable and its 8 wires to the needed connections with the existing 16pin connector via t-tap connectors, and connected the male end to the 96120A5100 usb aux connection.  :link: Amazon.com: Ginsco 120 Pcs/60 Pairs Quick Splice Wire Terminals T-Tap Self-stripping with Nylon Fully Insulated Male Quick Disconnects Kit: Home Improvement (https://amzn.to/2tQazLP). This allows me to remove the HD-03 in the event that I want to add back the stock radio and without directly cutting the 16pin harness.

Just matched up the connections from the new to the old. It only works if you have the USB, as it provides power for the aux connection.

Hey - thanks for your guide. I've had a hard time matching up the wires based off the two images you send of the pin-outs. What do you do with AUX Video, Illumination, and AUX Video Ground?

Annotated your picture of the GD-03 end. If you could remember what the matching was that would be seriously helpful! thanks.

Hey,

my 2013 i30 Elite has this head unit with Sat Nav;

(https://i.ibb.co/G27zb2r/image.png) (https://ibb.co/NjxcHjG)

and I'm not sure if there's a compatible GD-03 unit with matching fascia, can anyone advise if it's possible?

I've noticed this for sale in a wreckers, it's got the wrong shape at the bottom so no good for me but is there a GD-03 head unit that will match my fascia shape?

Frankyg, the NAV units have a slightly different shape surround so a GD-03 unit will not fit your car, you might be better off looking at a third party aftermarket system which I’m sure a local car audio shop could help you out with some advice.

Some members here have also replaced their system with Android units which generally require aftermarket wiring harnesses and sometimes a new centre fascia.

HI,

I am planning to buy this 2016 i30 set nav unit for this trip. can someone please confirm if it is possible on this version? I can't see any mention of the GD-03 part number.

I understand that I will have to source the Aux-USB assembly and cable separately.

I want to upgrade the head unit on my 2013 i30 ( UK) to enable apple car play. Also, can some one please confirm if apple has sorted the noise issue yet?

thanks in advance

If your vehicle already has a satnav unit fitted then a GD model (non satnav)stereo will not fit due to different fascia shape, satnav units are not even allocated with a GD “ “ label
The picture you linked is also a satnav unit, specifically a GD-03 doesn’t have satnav or a CD player.

Lastly, yes the CarPlay noise issue was fixed with the recent .10 software update from Cartronics.

I upgraded my unit to the GD-03 from the image below. If yours is the same, then the sat nav unit will not fit the fascia correctly.

Thanks for your feedback guys. I currently have the non sarnav version in my car so I think GD-03 should fit.  Stanvac is asking for 550 aud including shipping. Is the reasonable ? I emailed ultimatejap but didn’t receive any reply. Is there anywhere else I can source it from ?

If Stanvac are going to ship internationally for you then I'd stick with them, currently their GD-03 units are going for $400+, due to the high demand of these units now they are getting rarer so with shipping included to UK I think that is a reasonable asking price $550au = 312GBP.

I've dealt first hand with Stanvac as I bought one of their GD-03 units and they are the only company I know of that doesn't cut the cables and they will ship complete with usb module if you ask for it :goodjob2:

Hi guys,

Having a bit of a problem here. How is your experience dealing with stanvac? They had 1 GD-03 system in stock for which I paid via western union money transfer on 18-Dec. However, soon after, they have disappeared from radar and stopped replying to my email in last 2 weeks . Western union has confirmed money was deposited in receiver’s account. However, despite my repeated emails to verify the transfer and status of the shipment, stanvac haven’t replied to a single email. I think I was n correspondence with someone called Dale.

Hi Tapan, sorry to hear about your issue. Hopefully another member who has dealt with Stanvac can offer some additional guidance and I really hope you are able to resolve the issue.

As a friendly word of warning, be very careful buying any goods using Western Union as a payment method. You have no consumer protection at all purchasing this way with Western Union! If I didn't personally know and absolutely trust the seller I would avoid the risk personally...

See the FAQ here for more info -  :link: Consumer protection FAQ | Western Union UK (http://www.westernunion.com/gb/en/faq-consumer-protection.html)

I really hope this is just a snag with them mate and you get it all resolved!

Tapan, Stanvac are very reliable from my experience, you’ll probably find your package is already on its way.

Being the holiday season it’s very likely many of their staff are away or they might even shut down for a short period.

Thanks once again Craig for your help in this - really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, it all gone sideways. Turns out, the parcel was actually shipped on 18-Dec and a delivery attempt was made on 28-Dec. But Stanvac had made a typo in the address - they wrote house number 25 instead of 26 that I confirmed to them.  :P. Obviously, person from house 25 refused to take the parcel and as a result, the parcel is now on the way, being returned to sender  :neutral:

i had a long conversation with Parcelforce and they claim now it is too late to reverse this (also as it wasn't due to their fault). Had, stanvac sent me tracking number on time, i could have monitored to the progress of the shipment and could have stopped the parcel from being returned.

I have already paid 550 AUD, and don't think could afford to spend any more on the shipping again. Hopefully, stanvac should be able to absorb the additional cost considering it was their mistake.

really unlucky.

You would have thought if the neighbour recognised the name they would have taken the parcel and then just handed it over. Not all neighbours no each other unfortunately and therefore just return to sender stuff.

Assume the address was correct on the  order confirmation email? Also assume there was no shipping confirmation email? As you say had you seen the shipping confirmation had the wrong address or had a tracking number you could have intercepted it and / or spoke to the neighbour and made provision for it not to be returned.

100% if the address was provided correctly and then sent somewhere else they should sort this out for you at no additional cost. Good luck with it! What a pain....sure you will get there.....

My 2012 GD01 suffered from sudden loss of audio output last weekend, and a quick google search led me here.

I managed to pickup a GD03 head unit and USB point from ultimatejap for $170. Fitted it tonight following this guide, took me about an hour and it’s better than new! Much more functional, and better sound quality to boot!

Haven’t got the USB hooked up, as unfortunately the supplier cut it. But will order from KORAPs this week, unless someone has a local source for one?

Given that the satnav units are different shape.
wouldnt a gd-03 and surrounding panel fix the issue?
might cost more, but should work?
we should ask our wrecker friends of the panels/fascias have the same attachment points.

If you wanted to fit the GD-03 in place of the satnav unit you would also need to buy the standard aircon control panel and swap the fascia with the existing aircon.

The wiring of the factory sat nav is different from the gd-03 so you will have to re-pin them if swapping for the gd-03.

CraigB and aanastasiou4
I think you're right
I just had a look at the premium head unit and AC control.
they seem to both have a bump in the bottom,  so i got excited.

however, looking closely, it would appear the bump in the premium AC controls, is not as deep as the GD-03 radio. though from pictures, is very difficult to tell.
we'd need a brave soul to try.

Premium users would need to get the AC controls (climate control, if it exists in that shape) as well as the radio, which could add up to more than just going aftermarket..
I don't think there's any fasia there, just the right climate control unit with the more pronounced bump.

yeah, that and re-pinning

Howdy all,

Question:

Does your new USB socket charge your phone?
(this could obvs be from my dodgy cable but just thought i'd ask)

Currently my partners Samsung S10 picks up a charge, but a message displays about slow charging and to use a proper cable.
But my iphone does not pick up any charge. Also i ask this because, the wreckers supplied cut cables for the AUX cable sockets and it looks like more than just an aux cable the amount of wires on there i suspect maybe it was giving charge to the USB port as well?


Should i update my software on the unit? (SW VER: 2.04.02 Micom: 3.27.00 Platform: 1.76)

The option for clicking android auto-apple car play seems to be greyed out on the audio options screen. Not sure if this problem is due to the dodgy cable, or needs a software update.



Preamble ramble: I installed a GD-03 in my 2014 i30 recently after my old head unit stopped playing any sounds.

Everything went better than expected. Only problem was I nearly broke the damn USB unit pushing to the front of the car instead of the back when trying to remove it! doh!
Everything's working fine except android auto/apple car play is not working. The wreckers did supply a cable but it had a tasty gash on the side that seems like it has only just shredded one of the internal wires.
I have just ordered a cable from Koraps.com ( :link: Auto Part Item View : 961983W000 (96198-3W000) CABLE ASSY-USB for HYUNDAI / KIA SPORTAGE 10- (http://www.koraps.com/shop/item.php?it_id=511278)) hopefully that will be the go.


Cheers!

Yes the USB also supplies power and Apple car play wont work unless you use genuine quality cables, cheap cables don't have to correct chip in them.

Definitely upgrade the units firmware to the latest 2.05.10 which fixes several issues, 276.5MB file which is currently still live thanks to a member on the Whirlpool Forums   :link: MEGA (https://mega.nz/#!4VNS1CBC!TDtyBj-i0walRinImFxvqR2U9YLgyPwrU5hdx96FhMM)

Hi Everyone - first post here so please be nice  :sweating:

I've got a 2014 GD01 setup. I'm attempting to remove the AUX/USB ass'y but am having issues with those white clips that will give me better access to removing the AUX/USB.

Does anyone have any tips? I've been pushing and prodding those white clips but nothing is happening.

Thanks!

I can’t remember exactly how I removed it but I know it took some brute force to pop the USB/AUX module out, stubborn little bugger it is.

If you push the usb assembly from the back it comes out easily. No need to remove the whole panel!

Thanks for the advice. It took a bit of brute force but I managed to get it out ... always feel like I'm about to break something and then it comes free!

The wrecker I got the GD03 didn't provide the updated AUX/USB ass'y. I'm still looking online for one - they seem to be in short supply. I've trawled back through the posts on this thread but can't seem to find a reputable dealer. Anyone got any option for me to track down?

Stanvac wreckers are whom I usually recommend for the GD-03 head units, they might separate the USB module for you :undecided: Ultimate Jap also sell the units though they do cut cables unfortunately.

Just got this in the post today
Only took two weeks to arrive which isn't bad from korea!
Everythings working perfectly! Phone is charging and apple car play working a treat.
havent updated the system yet though.
It looked like a genuine part as well was in a KIA stamped bag.



The above poster-im pretty sure someone has written the part number down for the USB unit in one of the posts you should be able to use that to order from koraps.

They were really good sent me an email after i purchased to let me know there wont be a shipping number and to contact if there is any issues!

Cable was about $53 after conversion to US currency and postage which is reasonable considering car play is pretty epic.

Hi there,

I also have a 2013 i30 Elite and want to do the GD-03 upgrade. Did you ever discovery a way of doing this, given the facia at the bottom of the unit is a different shape?

I want to avoid going aftermarket if I can, but seems like us Elite owners have no option!

You can buy the aircon panel from a base model and change over the fascia, I think you then need to drill a few holes in the fascia where the climate sensor is.

I have one facia which I don't need. It can be fitted on your existing aircon unit. Send me a message if you want it!

You don't mention what year the vehicle is but if the factory usb/aux assembly is the single cable type (pre Apple/Android) then you'll need the cable and assembly as the usb Apple/Android cable becomes it's own with a separate plug for the aux side, the aux remains disconnected.

Hopefully you can purchase the part from a wrecker, Koraps also sell the cable as mentioned previously...not sure about the usb/aux assemble.

I have an 2013 i30 Elite (SatNav model), with reversing camera hidden under the Hyundai badge at the rear. Does anyone know if the GD03 head unit supports connection to the reversing camera? The aftermarket CarPlay head units do not, and would require a separate (new) reverse camera to be installed, which would be silly.

The GD-03 unit is a different shape to the satnav units and won’t fit without also changing the aircon fascia.

There are adapters to make the cameras video cable fit any stereo, I’d suggest speaking to a reputable audio dealer/installer.

That is a navigation unit so not a GD-03, the GD-03 is a cartronics unit with Apple Carplay/Android Auto and no CD player which you'll see pictured in the first post of this topic, they are only available from Australia.

You will need a new air con  facia as well as re-pinning the connectors at the back of the unit.

As mentioned it can be done though it’s more work, aircon fascia needs swapping with the climate control type, aerial and wiring need changing to the GPS type and re-pin the connections.

It is possible to purchase a GD-03 unit from Australia via Stanvac Wreckers, email them for a quote  :link: New/Recycled Korean Parts | Stanvac Korean Auto Parts | Lonsdale SA (https://www.stanvac.com.au/)

Thanks, I've just had a quote of $550 from stanvac which seems reasonable.
One question, as this is an aftermarket unit, does it use Google maps?
How do you update the maps?
Or do you use the Hyundai unit sd card?
Thanks everyone

They're not an aftermarket unit, they are installed in some of the late model GD i30's here.

Being a Apple/Android unit you use the maps off your phone, there are no built in maps or SD card ports, the installation process is described in detail in the first post of this topic by VTH.

Remember to ask Stanvac to send the unit with USB cable and the AUX module as these are required to complete the installation and make use of the Carplay/Android functions.

Your best option I would say is the GD-03 from Australia, you plug your phone into it and you can use apple maps, google maps or waze if you like.
I have done the swap from the head unit like yours and it works flawlessly

With the gd-03 you won't need to update the maps every now and then since you use the maps from your phone which are always up to date! You will also get siri or google assistant depending on your device so you won't have to take your eyes off the road when you want to make a call or send a message.

I've just gone ahead and replaced my GD-01 head unit with a GD-03 from a wrecker here in Perth (cost $225). It was very simple with the help of VTH's original post.

My only issue was being unable to get the USB cable, seems a lot of wreckers cut them when removing the AUX/USB assembly. As he wanted $60 for the AUX/USB assembly without the cable I gave it a miss. Having seen a previous response suggesting the use of a USB cable I thought I'd order one and give it a go - http://www.pcpartsandcables.com/support/images/usbafem2mm.jpg (http://www.pcpartsandcables.com/support/images/usbafem2mm.jpg)

Any other suggestions for sourcing the AUX/USB assembly and cable?

GUIDE UPDATE - USB CABLE

I did the upgrade from a GD-01 earlier this year and was able to get complete functionality without the USB port assembly and cable. Here are my results in case anyone is in a similar position.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

If you do not have the GD-03 USB assembly you can buy a pre-made cable like this one
(https://image.ibb.co/jsEgk7/usbafem2mm.jpg) (http://pcpartsandcables.com//product_info.php?products_id=54)


Has anyone used these cables before? I got a price from PC Parts and Cables and it works out about $15 incl shipping to Australia.

I fitted the oem camera but an aftermarket camera will work as well.

Hi All - love this guide and I’m keen to do this upgrade.

Does anyone know if this module is compatible? Looks the same apart from the flip down cover. Part number is a5110 rather than a5100.

I don't suppose you know if the wiring is all there (eg from the boot to the dash in models that do not have the camera as standard).  If this is the case I could just get a camera from the wreckers and hook that up to the wiring in the boot.  Alternatively I'm assuming its a matter of getting an after market camera and finding the right pins and wiring the camera directly to the harness behind the head unit??

The twin plug connections at the rear look right, haven’t seen one with a flip face before though.

Yeah I thought it appeared to be the same. I’ve found a decent priced GD-03 so thinking I might roll the dice on this.

I think you might need to take off the hatch interior panel for inspection, then you’ll see if there is a plug connection waiting there for you and you’ll also want to make sure it’s possible to mount the factory camera.

The camera plug is not present if you don't have a camera fitted from the factory since the harness that includes the camera connector has a different part number than the normal one. You can run new wires from the boot to the radio. That's what I did!

It fits. You can take off that open/close cover and fit the one which is on your current usb module.

Super helpful info on the wiring harness part numbers.

by chance do you remember how you wired it in?  I'm assuming that:
- power from the reverse lights goes to  connector a pin 9 (to activate camera on display when in reverse)
- video ground (outer part of RCA connector) goes to Connector a pin 14
- video center connector from RCA goes to Connector A pin 15?

this is based on the awesome diagram from I justkowstuf  :goodjob: who posted it a while back.

Another successful upgrade complete.  Ordered one last week from ebay. Looked a bit beat up but for $130 delivered I figured I would roll the dice.  Turned up on Friday. Wires were cut but that ended up being a good thing.  I managed to splice my own USB cable by connecting the end that was left in the unit from the wire cutting with using a standard USB extension which I trimmed the Male end off.  Bit of trial and error with the USB.  Initially I had the USB data wires backwards.  For any one attempting this, get the power pins right which is an easy check with a multi meter.  Data cables should not kill your device (based on the iPhone not getting fried when I tested). I owe a credit to someone here who posted up some USB wiring stuff.   I have a reverse camera on the way. I will try to remember to get some pics of that when the camera turns up.

Following up from my earlier post

My earlier post (https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=45851.msg489315#msg489315)

I have now managed to get the reverse camera installed.  I didn't grab pictures.  I was really short on time and the better half had been bundled inside on a wet day with the kids so I was 'on a short fuse'.  It took a lot more than I thought to get the camera installed and wired up so sharing a few lessons.

some pointers for people that want to do the same
this is the camera I purchased
Cheap generic ebay reverse camera (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-Reversing-Rear-View-Backup-Parking-Camera-For-Hyundai-i30-Genesis-Coupe/112494612979?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649)

1) Take the back of the rear seat off on the drivers side - it will save you time in the long run
2) Removing the material lining in the rear quarter was made easier after I did step # 1)
3) There is no access (that I could find) to the bumper from inside the car.  I ran the wires for the camera past the indicator wiring (also on the drivers side).  I did this by cutting a slit in the boot that provides a seal for the wires.  Granted it's no longer 100% waterproof but its probably about 98% which I was OK with.
4) Camera doesn't work with a flat battery - don't flatten your battery by listening to the new Radio while you do this bit. 
5) I ran the sensor/power wire all the way to the bulb in the hatch I suspect there is an easier option but I'm not sure where the wiring harness for the reverse lights runs inside the cabin.  Looks like it may run across the roof??.   
6) Power from the reverse lights hooked to the sensor as well as the power for the camera works fine (no delay in image displaying).
7) In the wiring for the GD-01 harness there are no pins in the harness for the reverse camera in pin 14 and 15 of harness A.  Hopefully if you got a radio with cut wires you can extract a couple and insert them in the right holes, this is what I did. Make sure the terminals are seated all the way in.  Pin 14 Ground should connect to the outside of the RCA connector for the camera.  15 connects to the inside pin of the RCA connector.  Pin 9 Adapter A (the one you have to cut to make the GD-03 radio work) should connect to the reverse sensor wire (to tell the radio to switch to reverse camera mode). I had an old female RCA connector I wired up to make this connection easier.
 

The camera unit purchased did not support the stock light fitting for the number plate illumination light. The light fits OK in the hole but the locking pins don't enable it to lock the light in place.  I wrapped it with electrical tape which will hold it in place.  I also notices the globe was blown so I will need to revisit this bit.

RESULT: it works. 

OPEN ISSUES: There are two sets of  red/yellow/green lines on the screen when in reverse mode.  One set from the headunit and one set from the camera.  I didn't see any wires to cut on the camera to disable fro there and can't see and way to disable on the head unit.  Any ideas on how to do this on the head unit???

GUIDE UPDATE - USB CABLE

I did the upgrade from a GD-01 earlier this year and was able to get complete functionality without the USB port assembly and cable. Here are my results in case anyone is in a similar position.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

If you do not have the GD-03 USB assembly you can buy a pre-made cable like this one
(https://image.ibb.co/jsEgk7/usbafem2mm.jpg) (http://pcpartsandcables.com//product_info.php?products_id=54)


Has anyone used these cables before? I got a price from PC Parts and Cables and it works out about $15 incl shipping to Australia.

I bought this cable and installed it using my original AUX/USB assembly. I removed the cover and the PCB, then the USB socket clicked into place.

Apple Carplay works great, now to upgrade the firmware.

No need to disconnect the battery.





Thanks,  so it is safe to disconnect all the wires from the existing head unit while the battery is connected?

Various Google results seems to indicate that I need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

Just want to make sure I don't stuff this up

As long as the ignition is off it will be fine, there is no need to disconnect battery.

One has GPS and the other doesnt :D GD-03 has Apple Car play/Android Auto, Satnav units don't, GD=03 units don't have a CD player either.

Satnav units have a different shape at the base of the fascia, Satnav models are also not allocated a GD-03 model number...no satnav unit for that matter has the GD model number as the nav units are made in Korea and the GD- units are built by Cartronics Australia.

Thank you Craig for clarifying that but still I'm confused,this seller on eBay is selling this GD03 unit and is written Sat nav see the pictures and another seller is selling same GD03 without Sat nav both of them are from Au now I don't what is better to buy.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/a8e6b12a97ffcf3d8c5cb20f13e23f10.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/14a72a5e21a1654fdcf5f884263c4ada.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/46844865631df25c237eef0dcc7ef527.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191010/d3f92e261b871129842b5a5b894d6a18.jpg)

The first seller has listed it wrongly with satnav but that may be due to whoever put the newer sticker on the unit, it’s a GD-03 looking at the face and original sticker so I’d expect he’s trying to do a dodgy  :undecided:

Hi,

(https://i.ibb.co/94qggZG/DSC09993.jpg) (https://ibb.co/SmKyyfJ)

First post... I'm the one who grabbed the recent AUD250 unit :)
7 days from Australia to Poland, two weeks for me to pry it out of the hands of the border control comrades. Nothing out of the ordinary, unfortunately.

Repaired the USB cable and all was well.

(https://i.ibb.co/LrFNPw5/DSC09995.jpg) (https://ibb.co/pQ7hPDy)

I had a blonde moment getting android auto to install: it told me it was 'incompatible with my phone'. After some googling it turns out it's just not available in my country's Play Store. So I got it from APKmirror and now works just fine. FYI...

My 2013 GD was probably the 'rental' special... barebones as all heck. Thanks to this forum I now have not only cruise control but Android auto running, brilliant!
Have a few others errands to run (phone button on steering wheel not working, adding remote camera) and the GDS is a blessing. Really, the #1 requirement for running a 2nd hand car is a community like this.

Thank you all!

Hi Guys,

Ive just finished upgrading from my gd-01 to a gd-03. I've changed over the AUX/USB assembly unit and everything seems to be working. I can connect  my iPhone via USB and it will CHARGE but WONT ENABLE ME TO CONNECT TO APPLE CARPLAY. Have just updated the software to SW VER: 2.05.10 MICOM: 3.28.00 Platform: 1.76.00.
When I press the 'MEDIA' button, it will show all the correct options on the screen but everything is greyed out except the BLUETOOTH option.

Any ideas on how to fix? Did i go wrong somewhere?

Thanks!

Hi kirstenp, sounds like your not using the Apple certified cable :undecided: try using the genuine cable that came with the phone.

Tried the genuine cable to no avail. Just to confuse things more, it will charge with a non genuine cable, but won't charge with the genuine one. Still won't connect to AA/car play regardless of the cables I try. Any other suggestions??

What model iPhone do you have?

Do you see on the phone CarPlay option under Settings/General/CarPlay?

I've got an iPhone 6s. I can see the CarPlay option in my phone settings but I didn't think i needed to use that at all when using the USB chord?

No need to use those phone settings while driving, just checking whether your vehicle is listed in the settings and turned on.

Head unit is the latest software.
I can’t find anything under ‘CarPlay’ in settings. The vehicle doesn’t come up 😩
And Siri is definitely enabled. If I clock on the ‘voice’ button on the head unit it will activate Siri and lets me request things and answers all through the car.
But I’m still unable to select ‘apple CarPlay’ on the head unit. I’ll attach a photo. The option is there but it’s not lit up.

You should see in the phone carplay setting whats pictured below

If you're not seeing these options and with the other issues described of still charging but no carplay sync then I can only assume there is possibly a fault with either the lightning USB cable or possibly the interconnecting cable between the USB module and head unit., was the genuine interconnecting cable from the donor vehicle used?

You could also try running the firmware file again followed by initialising the system, sometimes the update needs two goes at it.

Definitely not seeing that as an option on my phone 😩

And no it’s Not the original cable from the donor vehicle. The guys at the wreckers used a pair of side cutters to take the head unit & AUX/USB jack assembly out. So the chord was cut in 2. I got one end but they said they couldn’t get the other 😩 so I made a chord using an old computer fan cable. The pin sequence is all correct and I know I’ve got all the wiring correct. Yet still no luck.

Might cut my loss and just use the head unit for Bluetooth audio & radio! At least I can still charge my phone on the USB.

Reported symptoms all pointed to a lead/cable fault, you can purchase the lead via Hyundai or Koraps or via a link posted previously in this topic that aanastasiou4 placed  https://www.fourgreen.com/store/mobile/prodView.asp?idProduct=6145963#mobileMain (https://www.fourgreen.com/store/mobile/prodView.asp?idProduct=6145963#mobileMain)

Well worth getting the correct cable for such a handy feature, don't think I could go back to a car without AA/CP now that I'm used to it :)

Go on your iPhone. Settings > Screen time > Content & Privacy Restrictions (if off turn it on) > Allowed apps. Make sure that carplay is on from there.

Apple carplay should be turned ON from restrictions so idk maybe he somehow turned it off that's why I had to mention the above process. It's very weird for the headunit not to recognise  apple carplay when the phone is plugged in!

Did you miss the part where the interconnecting cable used was home made :whistler: :D

And I meant the complete Screen time function should be default disabled at the home screen which would in turn mean that any options there after should not be available, which is how I have mine set.

If you get no luck then you may need to buy a genuine usb cable for the head unit. Have you tried a usb stick with music or another phone?

So I have a late 2012 GD i30 Premium model, with the sat nav head unit. I just bought the NON sat nav GD-03 and was delivered today. I hit “buy” just before I realised this might be quite a big job, as I think this requires quite a lot of rewiring etc. Not to mention a new fascia.

Two questions. First, am I right in thinking this is quite a big job?
Second, I’d say this is too hard for me to do myself, and what car audio installation places do you trust and recommend to get this job done?

Thanks!

Not a big job at all it’s all plug and play, but you may have to use the facia from your current head unit for the gd-03

You can't swap the head unit fascia from a NAV to GD-03 as the buttons are different, you would need to swap the climate control fascia from current Premium to Active (base model).

Everything else should be plug and play I think :undecided:

Great - I've been looking at getting a standard fascia, but it doesn't seem like anyone is selling them without the actual controls. Thinking I could get it for much cheaper if I could find that. Any ideas here?

No wrecker will separate the aircon fascia, they would be left with a aircon module that they couldn't sell.

If you get the whole unit, the glossy black trim can be pulled off and installed on your current climate unit.

Thanks Craig - I figured that might be the case. Wasn’t sure if 3rd parties might sell this part aftermarket or something. Will have to get the full unit in that case.

Yes! Get the cheapest one you can find but make sure that the glossy part is not full of scratches

Contact this seller  (ultimatejap)on eBay and ask him for the OEM cable.

I would be very surprised if it's the cable. There's nothing special about it, I measured it when I repaired mine and it's simply 4 x 2 feet of copper.

Did you follow the full instructions while upgrading? There are several parts to it, and afterwards you are supposed to do a full settings reset. Did you do all of these?

You can get away with repaired cables on Android Auto but Apple CarPlay is extremely fussy when it comes to cables.

If the chip doesn’t receive the correct voltage or sync data then the phone will charge but will be unable to recognise CarPlay.

I soldered together the two ends of the cable. It was cut by ultimatejap's dismantlers.

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ksoAAOSwqgFdnlfN/s-l1600.jpg)

4 wires and a shield. Nothing to it. We're not talking about GHz signals through these cables. If we were, I'd have used the spectrum analyzer to to a DTF (https://www.anritsu.com/en-US/test-measurement/solutions/en-us/distance-to-fault) analysis.

It took me 10 minutes, 7 of which was making spent on a cup of coffee.

Hello, guys! Today i've bought GD-03 and already installed it (unfortunately without USB and camera). It was a piece of cake.
So here's the question - is there a chance to find USB cable or 2mm 4pin connector tomorrow in Sydney? I was in Jaycar and Strathfield car audio - they don't have anything similar.

If you want to guarantee correct functionality I'd stick with genuine, I believe the are some links placed further back in this topic to Koraps...or obtain from another wrecker or Hyundai.

You'll need the USB module as well to complete the connection.

Hi Guys, created an account to say thanks for all the info. I've just completed my upgrade. I had issues with Android auto initially (connection would drop out immediately on start up)  due to I think using an unshielded cable to replace the chopped cable I received with the unit. I rejoined the ends using a shielded usb phone cable soldering/heatshrinking everything carefully. Everything now works perfectly.

Appreciate the detailed info 👍

Hi to everyone! As i've already posted here - i recently upgraded to GD-03 and got USB lead and panel from Tynan ($108 extra).
So i've updated firmware and started testing maps, spotify and other features.
After i've opened google maps all of sudden my sound stopped, even when i unplugged phone and diconnected bluetooth, my radio was silent till i turned off and on the HU.
And this happens all the time, if anybody encountered something similar? I've tried different phones and cables, and also it's important to mention that my AUX is not connected.

Thanks! I will definitely try, and also i've found another solution that will try:

FIX WORKAROUND Third party EQ app from the play store fixed the issue it must be running before hooking up android auto. I tried a couple eq apps and they both seem to fix the no audio issue. Do not use the bass boost it strips out bass on both apps I tried. I also added the EQ to my battery exempt apps. I am using Huawei Mate 10 pro running android 8.0 emui 8.0. Hope this helps someone I was banging my head on the wall.

New day - new problem :) while attempting installing reverse camera faced problem with missed pins (i've bought new HU, so no old connector was there), does anyone knows where to buy pins separately.

Temporarily i've soldered two wires directly to the mainboard.

Quick question.  Is there an easy way to source a replacement for the USB cable from within Australia? I’ve had no luck with wreckers they are always cut.

Stanvac Korean auto wreckers would have but whether they'd sell the cable without a unit I don't know, other late model car play compatible Hyundai's would likely use the same cable.

You can always order through Hyundai.

I’m sure if you call Hyundai service/parts desk and enquire about the USB cable for a 2016 i30 GD-03 head unit you should get your answer  :)

Thanks VTH for the great guide.  I replaced the GD-01 head unit in my 2014 on the weekend and it is working great.

In case anyone else is interested I had trouble getting a USB cable as the wrecker supplied the head unit and AUX port but cut all the cables!

Hyundai spare parts told me the USB cable was part of the main harness and couldn't be purchased seperatly and the main harness was AU$1500!

I managed to order the USB cable (96595-A5000) from Four Green (https://www.fourgreen.com) for much less (US$12.62 + postage), however a few days later they told me they didn't have the part and gave me a refund.

There is an alternative KIA part (96198-3W000) which both Four Green (https://www.fourgreen.com) and Korean Auto Parts (http://www.koraps.com) have in stock.

While researching the cable however, I discovered I could order the connectors and make the cable myself.

The connectors are GT17 Series (https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/HiroseGT17Brochure.PDF) from Hirose and are made up several components which include:

Housing -  GT17HS-4S-HU (You'll need two of these)
Insulator - GT17H-4S-2C (You'll need two of these)
Outer terminal - GT17HS-4S-5CF (You'll need two of these)
Centre terminal - GT8-2428SCF(70) (You'll need eight of these)

It might be a good idea to buy a few extra in case you mess up the crimping.

I ordered all these parts from Digi Key Electronics (https://www.digikey.com.au)

For the cable I used a shielded USB cable, the specific cable used in the Hyundai part is "DUSUNG E203693 AWM 2725 VW-1 80C 30V Low Voltage Computer Cable", however if you can't find this cable any shielded USB printer cable should work just fine.  Look for AWM 2725 on the cable and you should be fine. 

I happen to find some of the same cable used in the genuine Hyundai part and used a 45cm lenght which was enough to reach with some slack for ease of install.

Using some wire strippers, crimping tools and tweezers it took me 20 minutes of steady hands (the center terminal pins are tiny) to make up the cable.

(https://preview.ibb.co/ctZ3Kp/IMG_20180909_125432.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kjFokU)

As I mentioned earlier the wrecker cut all the cables and sent me the cut off ends so I also have the plug with some wires that go into the AUX port. 

I'm working on making up an adapter that will allow me to plug the cable in my car to the new AUX port.  I'm currently sourcing the connectors from GD-01 AUX port (96120-A5000) so I don't have to cut up the one I have to get the plug, but I'll keep you all posted if that turns out.

Anyone knows if this is the same cable for PD/PDE vehicles? Looks the same to me. Im trying to upgrade from 5" to 8" and all I need to do now is create the cable for it.

Just made an account to put a post of thanks to everyone on this post - I've just successfuly upgraded my i30's head unit. Just wanted to share a few details of my expereince in case it helps someone:

 >>>Regarding head unit
 -Hot property it seems, places I called seemed to think it was 'faulty' unit because they sell quick - I wonder if they know the real reason. They don't seem to come with the aux/usb box and cable often. I got just the head unit for $275.

>>>Regarding installation
 - Since I couldn't find the GD-03 compatible aux /usb box and associated cable or the 1x5way 2mm pitch I went through the route of 'making' my own with an old usb male/female cord and my own crimping as suggested by Samgregory. I found it very difficult as this was the first time I crimped anything and the tiny connectors involved, but ultimately worthwhile for experience and value. Don't be afraid of making your own cable - seems like finding the aux/usb box and associated cable was much harder
- I bought 2mm pitch housings and connectors from RS. Note it has to be 2mm NOT 2.54mm which is the 'standard' motherboard connection size. Links below
Housing -  :link: PHR-4 | JST, PHR Female Connector Housing, 2mm Pitch, 4 Way, 1 Row | RS Components (https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/wire-housings-plugs/8201478/)
Connectors -  :link: BPH-002T-P0.5S | JST, PH Female Crimp Terminal Contact 24AWG BPH-002T-P0.5S | RS Components (https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-contacts/8201456/)
Crimping Tool - something like this which accomodates AWG24 (size of wire/connector)  :link: Crimping Tool for Non-Insulated Lugs | Jaycar Electronics (https://www.jaycar.com.au/crimping-tool-for-non-insulated-lugs/p/TH1834)
 - I Youtubed crimping technique and seemed to work ok - example video here  :link: How to crimp your own cable harness - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sHeR4Uozck)

All up took about 2 hours of my time, hardest part definitely crimping the wires and about $275 + $8 + $17 = $300 in total equipment cost.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone and thanks for everyone's previous advice!

If someone could reply with where to download the new firmware that would be great - I've had no luck on the cartronic website unfourtunately!

The last firmware update for the GD-03 was December 2018 and I doubt we'll receive another, unless a serious compatibility bug arises after phone firmware updates.

Most wreckers will sell the USB/AUX module with the GD-03 unit, though from my experience only Stanvacs Korean Auto Wreckers supply the interconnecting USB cable without cutting it in half.

Koraps can supply the cable also at a fraction of what Hyundai service parts will charge.

Last available 2018 firmware version 2.05.10 https://mega.nz/file/4VNS1CBC#TDtyBj-i0walRinImFxvqR2U9YLgyPwrU5hdx96FhMM (https://mega.nz/file/4VNS1CBC#TDtyBj-i0walRinImFxvqR2U9YLgyPwrU5hdx96FhMM)

Hi Guys,

Relatively new to this forum with my change from a long time ford guy to my first hyundai i30. Had the car for about 6 momths and having an issue with the radio cutting out randomly and going mute and the only thing that will bring sound back is turning it off and on. Gotten worse more recently where I start the car and only 50% of the time will i have sound without turning it off and on. Decided either to fix it or upgrade.

I've found a second had GD-03 unit selling but it seems to only have the part of the USB cable that connects to the back of the unit itself, some numpty must have cut the line and sold the other side or something else, either way the thread mentioned they upgraded the plug from the GD-01 to the GD-03 and my question is, was it the back of the unit itself that had the change? and if so can I use the half with the unit and simply splice my old one into that to make a complete cord?

Cheers

You'll require the USB/AUX module as well and then you might be able to splice together but the cables are quite different.

A genuine cable would be my personal preference.

Correct, they're not compatible.

The first post of this topic explains in detail the differences between parts and what's required for the changeover.

Trying to source the GD-03 unit is becoming harder with lots of GD-01 headunits now approaching max life expectancy :)

I actually had the GD-01 headunit replaced under warranty for Bluetooth problems and audio cutting out occasionally. But in the last 2 months, it started again. First lost FM radio, lost all radio and finally in the last week lost all Audio (Bluetooth/CD). It also often freezes. I pulled it apart hoping the connections were perhaps loose and it all looks fine. Really struggled to remove the screws - Hyundai technicians must have wanted to ensure the headunit will never ever be removed from the car. I needed a cordless drill driver to do it.

If none of the wreckers have this GD-03 unit what are the other options for retaining steering wheel controls and Android Auto + Carplay? I don't want to spend too much but clearly another GD-01 unit is a total waste of money. I don't think they are worth $50

Stanvac Korean auto wreckers are who I usually recommend, if they don't have any then searching all Hyundai wreckers Australia wide is the next step, you'll require the interconnecting USB lead and AUX/USB module as well for the complete changeover.

Hey Guys,

So I managed to finally source a GD-03 from a wreckers on the West side of Melbourne. $200 to come and pull it out myself which was a brilliant deal. It had seen a bit of sun but was in good nick overall and had a go installing him over the weekend.


(https://i.ibb.co/Dw4vJcv/IMG-20210122-200358.jpg) (https://ibb.co/qmBcSqc)

(https://i.ibb.co/P9tpFtc/IMG-20210122-202412.jpg) (https://ibb.co/qWxG7xN)

(https://i.ibb.co/N2XKvg6/IMG-20210122-210741.jpg) (https://ibb.co/nMTjGqs)

Did everything including the wiring for the reverse camera and it works brilliantly. Still having a few issues with the passenger side 12V socket which has been dead for some time now but fuses and relays are all good and I even swapped out one from the same wreck but still dead. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.

Also side note, does anyone else notice the sticker on the Aux/USB port from the GD-03  :lol:


(https://i.ibb.co/X29F0jT/IMG-20210122-202347a.jpg) (https://ibb.co/ZL3c4GC)


Very happy overall with the install, was super easy with the instructions from this thread. The link for the firmware upgrade didn't work for me but little bit of a google search got me another link which came with a pdf of instructions so the upgrade for android play was pretty simple too.


There are a few different Gd-03 units I came across, at the time I was looking to buy there were 3 available but they are going fast it seems. I found looking for a 2015 i30 wreck yielded the best chance of finding one rather then looking for a GD-03 specifically but not sure if all of them have one.

Yanked mine out of this bad boy with some acrobatics  :wink:

For anyone in Australia looking for a GD-03 Unit. There is 3 wrecks in  Melbourne at the moment all with their units intact. Wiring and everything should still be there unless some loot goblin has taken them. Found them on facbook marketplace under "2015 i30 Wreck"

Found one on ebay (ultimatejap was the seller - wrecker in Smithfield NSW) but got snapped up before I hit buy :(

It was $420 inclusive of postage with the USB cable + AUX/USB assembly so not as good value as the $200 come get it out yourself deal...

Found a great deal on a new Pioneer SPH-DA250DAB imported from Amazon UK so I might spend a bit more but get something new... I think DAB would also be cool to have but it's def a bit more expensive once you get the fascia and extra adaptors necessary

Has anyone here had recent dealings with Stanvac Korean auto wrecker? I've emailed them and got a quote of $550 + $35 postage. This is a "changeover" price so they pay postage for me to send them my old headunit. Seems nice and convenient except it's the highest price I've ever seen... :faint:

Is it that hard to sources these units atm? I was sure the price would be a bit lower than the ebay stuff I've seen around $400-$420.

They must be getting rarer now, Stanvac's were $400 six months to a year ago and about $350 when I purchased mine a few years ago.

No changeover back then either.

It was $420 inclusive of postage with the USB cable + AUX/USB assembly so not as good value as the $200 come get it out yourself deal...

That was me  :whistler: Have been looking on and off for a while, when I saw it with cable and plug I jumped on it!

Massive thank you to VTH. Guide was easy to follow.

Managed to snag one from Aus Auto Parts in Laverton. It seems they usually cut the cables, including the USB but if you ask nicely they may have one available.

All up was a steal at $375, compared to the $450-500 I was seeing elsewhere.

They are repairable, about $600 the last time I'd heard of one being done.

There will always be people that prefer to stick with the standard system, crazy init :crazy1:

G'day all,

I have sourced a GD-03 from an interstate wrecker to be mailed to me to do the upgrade. I have asked if the AUX/USB jack assembly and USB lead are able to be included too and was advised that I would need to remove it myself as it is a big job.

Is someone able confirm/deny this please?

Once the head unit and aircon is out (15minutes) it’s only a 5 minute job to get the AUX module out with USB lead intact.

afternoon all,

This thread and the photo's are dead set legendary.  I'm 90% thru doing a gd-02 to gd-03 upgrade.  However I've hit a snag and couldn't find any clues in the impressive thread history. 

Short version, the usb port has no voltage or connectivity.

Long version. 
If I'm reading it right, its a plug-n-play job providing you have the usb cable and you tuck the old aux-cable into the dash void.  I'm stuck whereby the usb port won't energise.  The multimeter says the 4 cores on the aux-usb cable are solid, but when I turn on the radio there's no voltage present.  As a result the firmware upgrade and apple carplay won't start.  It feels like there's a fuse blown, or the usb port on the gd-03 is blown.   I tried getting the multimeter probes onto the gd-03 pin's, but my eyesight and dexterity are not up to the job while its half hanging out of the dash.

I also tried with the air-con panel back on and engine running, just in case it was some other logic/power quirk going on.  Sadly no go.

Any suggestions from the brains trust?

thanks in advance.

Have just made the jump from my dead (12 months) GD-01 to the GD-03! Will be glad to see the back of my USB speaker!

Firstly, thanks to VTH for the in-depth tutorial! For someone not particularly mechanically minded, I was able to execute in a fairly reasonable time.

I do however, have some questions. I haven't installed the USB cable yet, still awaiting for that to arrive, so am unable to upgrade to the 2.05.10 firmware until then.

I didn't de-pin the A9 reverse camera wire and encountered the reverse screen pop up on first test of the unit. However, after turning on the lights and navigating away from the page, the reverse screen disappeared and has never been seen since. Has anyone had this? Is it a problem?

I noticed there is no backlighting appearing on the GD-03 buttons/dials, which i'm expecting they have? Could someone confirm they do have lights please and if something I haven't done is a contributing factor?

If the above problems never get fixed, I am still happy to say this is a major improvement and I have no regrets! Thanks for the thread guys and girls, unreal!

The dials and buttons have blue backlighting when the driving lights are turned on, I wouldn't know why your one doesn't light up though.

Turns out it does have the backlighting, but depending how high the illumination is set it can actually turn them off (I think the 3 highest settings).

Hi everyone,

I've owned a 2013 model i30 for a while and have been following this thread, particularly in the last 4 months as my GD01 gradually died. This week I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade - thank you so much to the OP for the writeup, as well as everyone else who has contributed. Here's my experience if it helps anyone:

I tried to find some local wreckers, but no one had a new enough i30 in stock. I then went to eBay, and searching 'GD-03' turned up plenty of parts. I noticed that most of them were in the $350-$400 range plus postage, with the cables cut - prices are definitely increasing as more GD01 units fails. I found a GD03 non-sat nav unit for $400 + $20 postage which included the USB cable and the AUX/USB facing. When I was weighing up my options, I noticed that one other seller had this for sale separately at $85 (they had the GD03 for $350 from memory). What a rip off! Although I paid more than the $200 odd I'm seeing in this thread, I thought I got a pretty good deal.

Installation itself was smooth, following the directions in the OP was very easy. The only hiccup I had was trying to de-pin the yellow and black cable. I thought I could do it, but struggled for about 15 minutes trying to figure out the lever system before I simply cut the wire and insulated the ends with tape. This did not affect the operability of the unit.

I then upgraded the firmware to the 2.05.10 version, and I now have an i30 with a much more modern looking interior!

Thanks again forum for all your help, I've never done any work on a car like this before and am pretty clueless about them :) now that I've succeeded in this maybe I should move on to trying to DIY supercharge it in my garage???

Thinking and hoping that it was a faulty GD-03, the ebay seller (kudo's to ultimatejap) agreed to replace the unit.  I installed the new unit today and the exact same fault condition exists, USB devices inserted into the port are not recognised (or energised), and if I pull out the multimeter I'm not picking up any voltage directly of the head-unit pins. 

Am I missing something where I need to "turn on" the gd-03 usb-aux port?  I tried de-pinning the aux-detect cable, no joy.   This unit is a higher firmware rev where it has android auto in the menu, and I tried turning AA on/off, similar no joy.

The unit is installed in a 2015 i30 Active which had a GD-02

You've got me stumped :Dunno: not a problem I've seen or heard of before.

Are you positive you've followed the OP's installation instructions correctly...De pinned or cut the A9 wire and not one of the other wires :undecided:

Afternoon Craig.  Yep followed the spec.  Up until yesterday and the 2nd headunit I'd not de-pinned anything.  Just now I tried de-pinning A9 (reverse cam) and that gave me no reverse cam (we have one) and no usb.  At a minimum it confirms I yanked the correct cable. 

The only obvious thing is the new B16 Speed cable.  Its pinned on the original wiring loom.  I tried de-pinning it, no joy.  (and I know I got the right cable because first time round I inverted the picture, de-pinned B4, and had no steering wheel controls)

1/ source a gd-03 + aux cable + aux module
2/ pull apart the dash
3/ if I do not have a reverse cam, de-pin A9 (I do have a cam)
4/ put it together leaving the original aux pin block unattached in the void
5/ get ready for a AAuto/ACarplay happy dance (and firmware updates)

I should be able to detect a static 5V voltage on the usb pins right?  They always read 0.0VDC. 

I swear it feels like radio is making the logic decision based upon the inputs, that a AUX-USB moduel does not exist, so don't energise the on-board port.

Very strange how yours is acting :confused: Is it possible there's a missing fuse under the dash :undecided: I'm assuming both A and B blocks are plugged into the head unit firmly, I think the USB lead only connects one way.

If you press the Media button do the AUX and USB options display...looking in there myself and I don't see any options to enable the USB module though.

Does anyone know what AUX/USB Jack assembly is required for the GD-03 model. I have purchased a GD-03 aftermarket headunit to put in my 2012 GD i30 which currently has a GD-01 in it.

When they sent the headunit they didnt send anything with it except for the headunit. What do I need and where can i buy the rest of the cabling required?

Thanks

You'll need the interconnecting USB lead and the USB/AUX module pictured in the first post of this topic.

You'll have to track the pieces down via a wrecker or last option is to order them through Hyundai service an parts.

Hi Guys,

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread, you have given me the confidence to attempt this on my own.

I have a GD-01 head unit at the moment, and am looking at upgrading to the GD-03 for that sweet sweet carplay.

Today i bought the GD-03, with the AUX/USB assembly, and the USB cable. I have overthought this process and worried myself so need a question answered.

Apart from the USB cable, should i have bought my head unit with any other cables? or do the old cables plug into the new unit? (apart from the new USB cable, of course)

Thanks!

Just wanted to clarify that the A9 de-pinning was taking place on the old head unit cable, and not some extra part that came with the new head unit.

Will update the thread with my progress!

So an update to my previous post. I recieved the head unit, usb lead and jack assemby and fitted it all as per the instructions, and bam, head unit works but USB module isn't working

not taking a charge at all, does that mean i can't update the firmware? as that means i'd need to plug the firmware update in through the USB port?

Not sure what else to do, as i sourced all the three new parts from the same vehicle

I think you’re about the third person to recently have no power to the USB port after the install, it’s got me baffled as to why this is happening as it’s generally a plug an play setup  :confused:

Yeah i'm not sure whether it's the USB cable, aux/usb module, or the actual head unit that's the problem. Everything works atm apart from the USB connection  :crazy1:

i'll take it apart and test it all uninstalled this arvo. Just checking that the AUX/USB module only needs the USB cable connected to work? The aux part isnt connected to anything atm.

Just really annoying :(

Yes it's only the USB cable that's required, I can't remember if the USB lead only plugs in one way...thinking it's directional :undecided:

Is it a blue plug black cable as pictured in the first post of this topic?

my receipt said (GD-03), GD, 2/2015-02/2017

i'm assuming that means there were models released in 2015, 2016 and 2017 with the GD-03 stereo?

idk, you know a lot more than i do about cars ahah

Either way, the head unit and USB module fit perfectly. Just no charge or connection through the USB port. Acting like a dead port. Should there be any lights in the USB module? Should the text light up? Cause i aint seeing any lights either

Possibly through Hyundai Parts an Service :undecided: you might be able to match something through JayCar but whether it'll function correctly with an Apple device I wouldn't know.

I got mine with the unit from Stanvac Korean Auto Parts.

I wonder if the few units recently that are having these same issues are all bought from the same wreckers :undecided: just seems odd that there has been no connection problems with any of these units for years then all of a sudden in the last few months there have been three with the same USB problem, there hasn't been any firmware updates released that could have screwed things up either.

Yeh I'm still gazumped here.  No voltage of the port.

I tried the dealer (Westpoint Auto Brisbane) and they flatly said "nope not interested" (even when I'm happy to pay the $155/hr rate).
I tried a small car audio guy, hoping they'd like to have a crack at it (and be paid for it).  Nope, he said car compatibility means its not worth his time/rate, and would steer me towards an aftermarket replacement.

I still feel like its a logic condition (say +1V on the aux-detect pin) which is preventing the usb port from activating, but I don't have the tools or skills to effectively troubleshoot it.  Or its a hidden software setting which is a simple usb enable/disable.

PM me if you'd like to buy a discounted GD-03, aux unit, and aux-usb cable and try your luck.

I'll remain in innocent hope that someone finds a solution, before I remove the GD-03 and put the GD-02 back in so that I have access to usb charge/ipod mode from the old aux unit.

Looks like I'll have to wait until a new car to get carplay.

What car did you originally have?

I upgraded mine from a GD-01 to a GD-03 headunit from a 2016 i30 and had no issues.

I also don't know if it means anything to anyone, but these days the AUX cable isnt used as much as it used to, so you will find that if your intention is to use the GD-03 Headunit for Apple Carplay then you all need is the USB adapter lead and not the aux. Personally, I just tucked it back in behind the head unit itself and that seemed to work fine for me.


You didnt damage any cables during the installation by chance?

Could also be worth double checking both ports are fully plugged in on both ends; being the headunit and the usb assembly adapter.

Good luck :)

Hi Divv,
2015 i30 Active Hatch with a GD-02.
Yep am using the newer aux port with the newer aux-usb cable, and yep same same I just tucked the original aux connector into the cavity..  The newer aux-usb cable is ok (I also tried making my own cable with a JST-4PH header connector) and tracing back with a multi-meter I simply do not get any vdc off the rear-side usb port on the GD-03 .  Chatting to Mark, we've followed the instructions to the T and are stumped as to why we're unlucky enough to be different.  Sort of relieved that a couple other people are now having the same issue, but also sorry for them given for the majority this has been a straight forward swap-out.
Ta, Jeff.

So i had the same problems with my head unit swap as jprince.

I decided to get a refund for the USB cable and assembly that came with the head unit, and chose to buy the same USB cable and assembly from another wrecker. Almost 2 weeks later and now apple carplay works!

I'm a 2013 GD owner in Chile. I was wondering if I can swap my head unit for a GD-03, since models vary in different regions too. I see some A/C units, dials and buttons in this forum that I don't think are the same as local models.

Edit: Just to clarify, I read the whole thread and I know it is feasible to do this job. I just need some peace of mind as to whether you know / see any obvious constraints based on my model & region.

Just FYI mine's got OEM camera, which displays on the mirror.

Also a picture of the exterior, in case anyone wants to know how GD was in my country :)

GD-03 units are also an Australian Cartronics built unit and can only be bought nowadays via Australian Car Wreckers, they're getting pretty rare to find these days too.

Also note that being the top model with the climate control aircon you'll have the head unit that is the same shape as the navigation units which prevents the GD-03 from being fitted.

Hi as Craig said installation is easy, I replaced my car head unit with a GD-03 which looked exactly like yours. My only difference was I had the standard climate controls

Thanks a lot for your response, but I'm not sure if I got it correctly. GD-03 won't fit in my car because of a mismatch in shape of the unit itself and my car? Sorry but just by looking at the pictures I thought it was going to fit fine!

I bought the LED taillights from this eBay seller (https://www.ebay.com/usr/finedayshop) around year 2014. They had the best deal the time.

Correct, the base shape of the head unit fascia and aircon will not match.

Am I getting the head unit models correctly? Just did this quick comparison based on my search at eBay AU:

Tend to think that (3) would indeed fit. And (4) won't.

They look compatible in the pictures though its deceiving, the GD-03 is a slightly deeper in the lower fascia which will leave gaps on both sides where the stereo meets the aircon fascia.

You can see the height difference when looking at the GD-03 fitted in my car

I want the GD-03 so bad, I'm tricking myself to just believe it will fit in my car.

If you're a crafty fellow you could make it fit, make something up to fill the gaps.

I’m fairly confident it will fit ok, as your head unit is exactly like mine was regardless of the air conditioning controls.

If StokeyBry has fitted one with the same setup as yours then you could be in luck, all the small variances between countries makes these mod's so confusing at times.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you :fingers:

Anyone found somewhere that stocks just the USB (blue one) that works the Apple CarPlay? I’m sure mines dodgy and need to replace it.

Replied to your msg.

Try running the update again before thinking about replacing components, it's unlikely a cable issue being the problem started after an update.

Sorry I should’ve been more specific. It was becoming a real problem prior to the update it would happen more times then not, but since updating it has been continuous. I think I’ve managed to temporarily fix the lag 2 times but just happens the next time I turn my car off and on. The parts were from a wrecker but my phone and the actual screen are fast that’s why I’ve leant towards the cable connecting the two being an issue. I can’t find the actual part but found something that looks the same, do(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211202/08e5928e80c90949bda26bbb3af2ad66.jpg)

Today is the first time in months that I've had a whole day out in the car listening to music via CarPlay and I was also getting a lot of lagging when trying to change songs via the touchscreen, must be a bug in the current Apple iOS 15.1 update.

Pulling the USB cable from the AUX module fixed it twice for me today.

some good news.  Another success which can be put down to aux-usb cables that have had a rough life (or rough extraction by the wrecker).  I procrastinated for AGES before pulling apart the dash again for what I feared would be another round of disappointment (and the dash is now a 60sec job knowing where and how hard to yank the panels!).

I FINALLY got around to soldering up a JST cable to a Jaycar female USB cable, and it works!!  My wifes phone was a bit hit and miss, but I think that's because car motion was causing a dry joint in the female pin socket.  So I pulled it apart again tonight to remove the pins (which were a just in case if if I got the pin order wrong) and solder up properly, when Mr Murphy struck and my soldering iron ran out of gas.  Literally with one cable to go, sigh.  At least I can see the end of the road for this journey.

The JST cable.

A pretty picture of my very dodgy solder of USB cable to pin to female pin socket to JST head..... and a OMG SO BLOODY HAPPY a working carplay.

Hi all

I have managed to get a GD-03 from ebay. The piano black plastic is a bit scratched and there's a small mark on the screen but it cost $350 so I can't complain. It didn't come with the aux/usb assy and cable unfortunately.
I rang Hyundai parts and they can't seem to find the parts based on the model number of the headunit (which I find strange). He suggested I find the year model of the car that definitely has the GD-03 and call back.
Has anyone bought the parts new from Hyundai in Australia? If so, did you take note of the part numbers?? If not, would it be safe to say the 2016 i30 year model definitely had a GD-03? Apparently a VIN number of a i30 with GD-03 would be helpful.

TIA!

UPDATE.

Spent a bit of time on the phone with the local Hyundai parts dept. Apparently you can't buy the USB cable separately - you have to buy the whole dash wiring loom?? approx $4k worth!!  :eek:
He quoted the KIA part number the he found on the net (possibly from here ;)  ) - 96595A5000. He checked with the local Kia dealer and apparently that part number is unavailable in Australia!
Almost bloody impossible to get one!!  :lol:

@jprice46 I'm assuming you already had the correct cable? and that it was just tired?

Ive tried a few wreckers - most have no idea what you're talking about, or, they won't sell the USB cable separately from the unit.

Any other ideas??

Thanks!

Hi legend,

I purchased a GD-03 headunit through Grant Walker Parts.

I was of the undertstanding they were going to send the cabling as well, but they only sent the headunit.

I called them up and asked them for them to send the cable, and they informed me that they would have to get the cable out of a car.

SO it is possible, 4K$ is not true, and not accurate. I would not reccomend buying a cable through Kia or Hyundai simply because those companies charge way too much.

Going through a wrecker is much easier however you have to be pretty demanding and dont be a pushover.

Explain to them your situation, and say that you know its possible because you know they have done it in the past.

Let me know how you go,

Divv

@general2460 my original cable never worked, which started my great tale of woe.

I soldered my own using the pin out and pictures from page 1, a JST cable ($3) from the link above and a USB-A Female from Jaycar ($25).  In hindsight I could have gotten a cheaper usb cable from the JST suppliers.  oh well, still better than the $75'ish quoted through the previous 16 pages of posts for a proper cable)

Dear All,

I've read this great post on how to upgrade to a GD03 head unit and am about do this job on my 2013 diesel wagon.
My car has the OEM parking sensors and after  market camera that plugs into the after market dash cam / parking assist unit.
Would it be possible to run the camera into the GD03 ? would anyone have any info regarding what wires I need to tap into ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Kind regards , Gary

Just joined this fantastic forum to post my results:
I sourced a GD-03 unit from Ebay for about $300 and followed VTHs guide to install. As a lot of people have found, the usb/cable is a bigger issue than installing the unit itself!!

There is a quick workaround though - the cable Teegan linked to on Aliexpress does work. It's also available on ebay sellers with Australian stock for about $16. There are two versions so buy the one that terminates with the usb port.

Then, just plug the cable I to the back of the head unit and run the usb end down the back of the a/c unit and out the bottom of the fascia (near the glovebox) and that's it!!

The only parts that needed to be removed were the air vent trims and 4x screws holding in the head unit

Hi everyone!
I'm wating for ma GD-03 unit to arrive and I've made some research. In the back where the original camera should have been, I found something like this
(https://i.ibb.co/vctgH3s/IMG-20220629-WA0000.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cymM16b)
It may be a connection to the camera, but I do not have A14 and A15 pins in the radio connector.
Does anyone have wiring diagram instructions where do these cables go? Or does anyone know what this cube is for?

Just did the upgrade, and I'm stoked - it worked perfectly and it's so much better than the GD-01!
I pulled it from a car myself at the wreckers, but it was missing the brackets. Modified the original brackets to suit and away we went.
Thanks again to the original poster - looks like this has helped a lot of people out!!

Dear VTH.  I just want to say thank you so much for this tutorial!  I had it saved for a while now cos my wife's GD-01 head unit only just died and it gave me the opportunity to have the confidence on to "just do it".  Only thing I sorta digress and cut the (black/white) wire off! :) 

Just doing the firmware updates now and really looking forward to Andriod Auto!!!  Thanks again.

If there is any way I can donate a small toke, please let me know!  Cheers!!!

2023 and this thread still delivers!.  Thanks heaps VTH, Samgregory and everyone else. 

I Recently picked up a GD-03 from New Model Wreckers for $250 via ebay.  Did not include the USB cable or AUX panel.  Figured I would go Samgregory's route and make up a cable.  The USB cord was snipped and the plug was still in the back of the head unit with maybe 15mm of lead attached.  Rather than wait for the 2mm header cable to arrive I thought I would connect on to the original lead. So I snipped off the end of a USB extension cable and connected up the coloured wires. It was a fiddly job trying to join up the wires with so little room to work, but I got there in the end - even remembered to put heat shrink on first  :P.

It installed smoothly (again big thanks - there's no way I would have been confident to remove the trim without the instructions) powered up and all worked, except the USB - it would charge the phone but wouldn't detect a device.  I thought I may have damaged one of the solder joints while trying to coax the blue plastic shroud back down onto the plug.  I tested each wire for continuity - all good, usual troubleshooting - tried different leads etc.  I eventually realised I had managed to get the data +ve and -ve wires the wrong way around.  Here's a picture of the original plug after I opened it up.
(https://i.ibb.co/Lrw38rh/PXL-20230619-014422608.jpg) (https://ibb.co/zFczrFH)

The green and white wires are the opposite to all the USB pinout pictures I looked at.  I swapped the pins around and success!

That's the reason for my post - just to highlight the wiring of plug for anyone else who might go down the same route.
