Hyundai i30N Amplifier Install (Pioneer GM-D1004) - Cheapest upgrade to sound [Read Description]
CORRECTION: The right T-Harness is the CT10HY07
I also tried to use the youtube video editor to fix something and accidentally blurred the centre at the beginning for no reason lmao 😬
Installed on a 2018 i30N (PFL). For $220-ish and a bit of DIY, this was one of the best quality of life upgrades to the i30N. I was pretty disappointed with the sound quality when I got the car and everyone on the Facebook groups recommended this upgrade.
Everyone linked instructions to a comment someone made that walked through how to install it but the guy left the group and deleted his account, removing his comment in the process. Hopefully this resource helps someone!
I had some footage initially that showed what I bought and how to plug it together to set it up but the footage got corrupted. :(

Its the wrong T-Harness. We need the CT10HY07 right?

CT10HY07 is for the facelift model afaik. I have the pre-facelift one, which needs a different T-harness

@Tungg_ the one in the video description (CT10HY04) is actually not the one that he has in the video. The one in the video has those 3 big vertical grooves in both connectors that goes into the stereo.... CT10HY04 has different pin layout (as seen in the picutre in the link). Correct one is indeed CT10HY07. I have both, learned the hard way :)

I dont want to swap my i30N audio, just glad people still do something for others, thanks for the video :)
Thanks for the guide! I will be doing the same install next week... also for some reason the harness goes only for 5 Euros in my country lol
Timely video bro. My amp and harness are arriving next week and I'll be following your guide. Hopefully not FL same as PFL.

Thanks for this video was a great help i also have ordered the amp and patch harness. Is there anything else needed besides the amp and extra harness? Also are you happy with the sound

You do realise that the blue and white wire you cut is the remote turn on wire for the Amp, I can see in the video that you're amp isn't even powered up so it's doing nothing

You need to cut that blue and white wire and hook it up to an accessory 12 volt power supply
Was this install on the facelift model i30N? Just purchased the 2023 model and wondering if the same t harness youve used will work?

This was for the pre-facelift model. According to a post I saw on the FB group you'll need the CT10HY07 for the facelift. But I'd double check to confirm.
Is the harness compatible with any pioneer amp? Also, what is the blue wire? I understand why you're cutting it, but what was its purpose in the first place?
@Tungg_
6 ай бұрын
It should be, long as it has the same connection as to what I linked. But I haven't tested or seen anyone try any other models of amps for the i30. The blue wire is labelled as 'satellite' if I remember correctly. I'm not 100% sure on its original purpose tbh, everyone just said to cut that HAHAHA.

Love the video did you also do a speaker upgrade video

Thanks for watching! Didn't do the speaker upgrade, wanted to see how much of an improvement the amp would give and it's definitely night and day. It's still not as good as my partner's Cerato GT which uses JBL speakers though. I can hear that there is room for improvement by replacing the stock speakers, but for me and my budget this is perfectly fine. My next DIY project is the FL head unit, but the problem is trying to source one!
Did you cut both wires? My amp should be here this week.
