...edit - I may even try to install it myself :cry: - After taking the top tray out, the main piece of trim didn't want to move and I don't want to break it, so I put it all back together again. I wonder if there are any screws to remove that aren't in the pics (maybe/maybe not) ;)

Many thanks all.
Will make installing the hands free and speaker cut adaptor a much nicer job.
If I remember I'll take pics as I go and add them as a sort off 'how to' when I do ours (saturday ??)

Yeah, thanks Hemmi (and of course DR for asking the question in the first place) - My car goes in to have a Bury cc9060 hands free kit installed next Tuesday and the guy's never done an i30 before - I can print out these pics to help him. This thread is perfect timing for me (I booked the car in about 10 minutes ago!). So thanks again guys.

What the photos above do not tell you is that the plastic trim is held in place by lots of white nylon/plastic clips. DO NOT PULL THE TRIM DOWNWARDS AND TOWARDS YOU (as shown in the photos above).
I succeeded finally by pulling one side of the trim SLIGHTLY UPWARDS AND TOWARDS ME (being careful not to break it). You need to be brave if you've never done this before, but I worry that the trim could be broken. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" />
This tool is useful for removing two of the screws...

The whole install was done in no time as there was no testing of removing panels gingerly trying not to snap any hidden mounts. I just removed the top 2 screws, pulled out the little rubber mat in the top compartment to reveal the 2 screws holding the fascia plate to the dash, pulled the fascia panel forward and away from the dash with a firm click and then unplugged the wiring for the aircon controls and hazard lights. After that, there were only 4 obvious screws on the audio unit and it was out.
I was also very impressed to note that Hyundai have used ISO connectors on the back of the audio unit. Many manufacturers use their own proprietary connectors, which make installing handsfree car kits, amps and other audio mods more difficult as you have to find, cut and join the right wires. Many European models use ISO to standardise this, which makes it easier. I was glad to see that when they tried to copy the European design, they went right down to the wiring too - very nice.
All I had to do was remove the bottom 2 ISO connectors and plug them into my colour coded ISO sockets supplied with the wiring harness of my bluetooth kit, then I plugged in the ISO plug end of my bluetooth wiring into the back of the i30's audio unit and it all worked first time. There was even enough room around the audio unit to mount the bluetooth unit and wiring harness comfortably and also providing easy access to it if ever any changes are needed.
If anyone is curious about the car kit I used it was a Parrot CK 3100 and this has always been my weapon of choice as it provides excellent duplex voice quality where you don't have to shout over road noise and it simply works via your existing audio setup and speakers (I'm not trying to sell it, just offering my preference/experience). I've used and installed these kits in Subaru, Land Rover, Mazda, Peugoet and now the i30 and I must say that the i30 installation was one of the best.

Although this is an excellent self explaining thread I still have a problem. I'd like to install the bluetooth parrot MK6000 kit so I have to remove the radio. The problem is that our Hyundai distributor is obviously trying to save money everywhere he can, so my I30 came WITHOUT the top compartment above the radio. It just has a plastic hatch installed which can be seen on the attached picture. I tried to pull the hatch with a blade from behind (window side), but it wasn't moving at all. When I try pulling from the front side, I can't even stick a blade between the hatch and the dashboard. Does anyone have a clue? The main issue is that the plastics can easily get damaged as you stick different object between the hatch and the dashboard.

I can see how that might concern you. Must be possible tho. I await further input here. I'm sure you must have to remove that "closed" panel to access the retaining screws...
PS welcome to the forum oversc0re (are you from Slovenia?)
Post by: Dazzler on May 29, 2009, 23:03:40
Have you thought of asking the dealer to try and get it off for you?
If you haven't bought the parrot yet have you considered buying one of the very good bluetooth units that clips to your sunvisor (should come up on a search of this forum)
These simple things can be really frustrating (and often happen to me)
I would keep trying from the back edge or even see if you can get a look at it from under the dash with a good torch...
Good luck..
Post by: oversc0re on May 29, 2009, 23:12:56
I have already bought the parrot because I got a really good deal, and I am very satisfied with it in my older car. I was thinking about the sunvisor solutions, but they always require battery charging. I went to the dealer today (just the office) but I think the guy there didn't really understand what I was talking about. I am going back there on Tuesday but I will try asking directly in their garage.
I am a bit worried if installing such a device voids the warranty?
Post by: accim on May 30, 2009, 08:14:56
I think it shouldn't void the guaranty. I didn't know they sell i30's without that compartment on the dash.. Anyway I think the best thing to do would be to take your i30 to a Hyundai dealer and tell them to install the Parrot (where you want). Maybe it doesn't open there, maybe you have to open it from I don't know..somewhere behind, below.. And if you brake that plastic it will be almost impossible to get new one (at least here in Slovenia, where our dealer really sucks :) ) They will probably need 1 hour to install it so it should cost you 30-50 eur..
That's at least what I would do..
Pozdrav

As far as I know are the cars with the hatch produced in Czechoslovakia and it's related to the ordered interior equipment (correct word?) if there is just a hatch.
I saw posts in german forums according to that problem. The guy tried to remove that hatch - finally he damaged it, but now he know's how to :)
He wrote that the frontbezel with the ventilation is just cliped and not screwed. (Maybe there are 2 screws in the compartment located above the cigar lighter.) After removing the bezel one can see (and easy remove) 7(!) screws holding that hatch.
Probably you'll need to use babelfish or google to translate that link (http://www.hyundaiboard.de/t1589,2-i30-wie-geht-dieser-bloede-deckel-raus-kauf-radioausbau-einfahren-er-da.html) (last post at sitebottom) - but sadly no pictures

The radio removal is documented as it should be, so no need for more pictures.
I can attach four pictures of parrot MK6000 installation. Regardless of the parrot model, all you have to do is to install the parrot bluebox.
I have documented the
a) testing of the parrot device
b) the parrot cable installation
c) the foam on the bottom of the bluebox to avoid vibrations
d) the final installation position
Thanks for your help!

You will have to find a replace facial surround from the dealer or aftermarket(I havn't been able to locate one yet.)
If you can find that then the rest is easy.

So just to be clear if your i30 does NOT have a small glove box storage unit on the top of the dash but DOES have a square blank plate BEWARE....
DO NOT attempt to prise or level this blank plate out...... It is screwed (from underneath) into the complete radio/aircon fascia trim. Any levering willl simply wreck the dashboard and serve no purpose as it does not need to be removed.
Simply (and yes it is simple) place a flat non sharp blade into the gap where the lowest edge of the fascia trim (Below Air Con Controls) meets with the plastic console (Just above the centre console glovebox/compartment).
Lever gently until you have sufficent space toput your finger tips behind the trim and then firmly pull towards you.
This should release the trim and then continue to move upward repeating along the edges gently removing the fasia by pulling toward you.
Voila you have now removed the trim without damaging the dash - and no need for a scredriver.
The Parrot (Blue Brain) )can be very neatly cable tied / secured in place at the very top of the area (Under where the blank plate sits (atop) the dashboard - it looks like it was made specifically for it. :idea:
BTW The Parrot website suggests that a Converter cable is required for use with the 2010 i30. It doesn't. Simply remove the lower 2 iso connectors from the rear of the radio unit and replace with the Parrot ISO connectors - loop the original cables into the Parrot connectors and away you go.
Took approx 2 hours to do - mainly because - I couldn't decide on the best location for the blue box.!!!!
Hope this helps and saves you having to cut and paste german forum entries into Bablefish!!!!!
BTW - I didn't connect the mute wire (single flying lead within the parrot loom) has anybody connected this and did - it cause the radio display to show "MUTE...??"

does anybody know if you can install a 7 inch touch screen in here, and replace the facia surround?
Yes, I bought a Pioneer 12.301142-08 2 DIN fascia kit and sliced my dashboard :). I have a manual A/C, so I couldn't use the Pioneer 391143-30-BA kit.
Here are some pictures about how I did it. Sorry about the picture quality, Nokia E63 has a lousy camera. :P
(http://i9.aijaa.com/t/00571/6301091.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6301091.jpg)
First I masked the fascia plate with tape and draw the cutting lines.
It doesn't show in the picture, but I added more tape to cover the vents and buttons.
I did the cutting with a Dremel rotary tool.
(http://i6.aijaa.com/t/00319/6301105.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6301105.jpg)
Here's the finished product. Even though I tried to be precise, the edges didn't come out straight.
That's because the plastic started to melt of the heat from the friction. "Like hot knife though butter" comes to mind.
(http://i6.aijaa.com/t/00895/6301107.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6301107.jpg)
Here's the radio trim from the Pioneer kit. As you can see, it didn't sit straight,
so I had to re-shape the edges before I glued the trim onto the fascia plate.
(http://i8.aijaa.com/t/00424/6443407.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6443407.jpg)(http://i5.aijaa.com/t/00141/6443408.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6443408.jpg)(http://i5.aijaa.com/t/00330/6443404.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6443404.jpg)
I had to buy an adapter for the antenna, because Hyundai are using their own strange kind of RF connector.
I got the adapter from the local Hyundai dealer in two days. :)
(http://i6.aijaa.com/t/00012/6863864.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6863864.jpg)
These are the rest of the connectors behind the i30 radio.
(http://i10.aijaa.com/t/00254/6301148.t.jpg) (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6301148.jpg)
This is how it looked after I had put all back together.
In this picture, the trim isn't glued to the fascia yet, because I didn't have the antenna adapter until later.
I glued the trim with Loctite. Now it's really locked tight. :D

nice guide! and ahhhh...that means that if one changes the headunit, the stock usb/aux port wont work as it is not a standardized cable e.g. usb input at back of headunit, but a multipin connector..
thanks for the review though!

No problem, I hope someone finds my guide useful. :)
I went for a single din head unit, because I had one left over from my previous car (which was a Getz btw :wink:). At first I considered about getting a double din unit, but they're quite expensive even without navigation, so I decided to settle for my old head unit for now.

Wow! - Got the radio out at last (and no damage done yet).Good stuff i30'ers... I've now managed to fix my crackly MW reception & intermittent loss of FM... Using this guide I got the radio head out easy peasy! My problems were fixed by using electrical contact cleaner on all the radio head plugs including the aerial input... BUT...
What the photos above do not tell you is that the plastic trim is held in place by lots of white nylon/plastic clips. DO NOT PULL THE TRIM DOWNWARDS AND TOWARDS YOU (as shown in the photos above).
