Upgraded UPSW-HY5 – Hyundai / Kia Stereo Replacement Data Interface
Retain more. Install faster. Integrate better.
The UPSW-HY5 is the choice for Hyundai i40, i45, ix35 and Santa Fe, and Kia Optima and Sorento owners with a factory amplified sound system. It keeps the original amplifier working with your new head unit, alongside full steering wheel control retention.
The factory reverse camera and USB connection are both retained, and a factory radio antenna adapter is included, so the upgrade keeps every key OEM function while adding a modern Android, Linux or double-DIN stereo.
As part of the Upgraded Stereo Replacement Data Interface range, the UPSW-HY5 is a true plug-and-play solution: it connects directly to the factory wiring, cuts installation time and keeps the OEM features you rely on every day, so your new head unit feels like it was fitted at the factory.
Key Features
- Retains factory steering wheel controls: Your original Hyundai steering wheel buttons continue to work with the new head unit, so volume, track skip, source and other supported audio functions stay at your fingertips while you drive.
- Compatible with factory amplified sound system: Designed to work with the factory amplified sound system, so the original amplifier and speakers remain in use and you keep the premium sound your vehicle was built with.
- Retains factory reverse camera: The original reverse camera stays connected, and the rear view automatically appears on your new screen when reverse gear is selected.
- Factory radio antenna adapter included: Connects your original Hyundai/Kia aerial directly to the aftermarket head unit for clear radio reception, with no cutting, splicing or sourcing a separate adapter.
- Retains factory USB: The original USB socket stays connected to your new head unit, so you can keep using it for music playback, charging and phone connection where supported by the stereo.
- CAN-Bus vehicle data integration: Reads the vehicle's CAN-Bus data and converts it into signals your aftermarket stereo understands, so factory functions are retained without manual wiring.
- Plug-and-play installation: Vehicle-specific connectors plug straight into the factory wiring, reducing installation time and complexity with no cutting of the original loom.
- Wide head unit compatibility: Compatible with the latest 9" & 10" Android and Linux-based infotainment systems and traditional double-DIN stereos from Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, Aerpro and other leading brands.
