Our returning customer wanted to remove the original Hyundai radio and replace with a full European Navigation AV touch screen head unit.
The main concerns for the customer were, no loss of steering wheel control, rear parking sensors to continue to work and to add colour coded front parking sensors.
We have a new section on our website called ‘Bargin Basement.’
Our stock turns over so fast and models seem to change so quickly in our industry that we are continually finishing lines and must make way for new products.
This means that any small quantities of these products, including the last items / clearance models / ones off display models, must be cleared out as soon as possible.
But hurry, these prices are obviously unrepeatable. When they’re gone, they’re gone…

The AppRadio features the industrys first capacitive touchscreen that lets you use touch and motion gestures
AppRadio is the first in-vehicle product designed to utilise the processing power, storage capacity, network connectivity and apps of the iPhone and iPod touch (4th generation) as the primary source for its information and entertainment capabilities. The AppRadio also features the industrys first capacitive touchscreen that enables control of most functions using similar touch and motion gestures as many of todays most popular smartphones, but in a larger 6.1-inch screen designed specifically for safer in-vehicle operation. For safety and convenience, AppRadio features built-in Bluetooth for hands-free calling and an input for an optional vehicle mounted rear facing back-up camera.
When connected to an iPhone and iPod touch (4th generation) with the Pioneer AppRadio application and compatible third-party apps, the full potential of the AppRadio is unleashed, bringing an ever-expanding world of convenience and connectivity directly into the dash. The Pioneer AppRadio application, available free in the App Store, enables access to the data and connectivity of the iPhone 4, providing users the ability to access Google Maps and stay current with recommended compatible third-party apps.
Google Maps appears on the AppRadio screen with the same mapping information and features that consumers are familiar with. The system enables users to search, route to locations, view route directions and create bookmarks with the ability to drop pins directly on the map.
Pioneer are partnering with app providers to integrate AppRadio compatibility into popular navigation apps, traffic information and speed camera alerts, formatted specifically for safe use and access in the vehicle.
With the vehicle parked and the parking brake fully engaged, additional apps featuring second screen video output can be viewed on the AppRadio screen.
Access to the future
As the library of AppRadio compatible applications grows, users will be automatically notified via the AppRadio iPhone application, with a link to the respective app(s) page within the App Store. Additionally, the AppRadio software itself is updatable offering the potential for future hardware, software and app compatibility changes.
Music and communication
AppRadio continues our strong audio heritage, with a built-in AM/FM tuner with RDS text information display (when available) and full iPod audio control/playback. Pioneer employ Apples iPod Out feature enabling the AppRadio system to display the familiar iPod navigation menu, displaying album art, song title and artist. This promotes a safer driving experience, as all of AppRadios controls have been designed specifically for in-vehicle operation. This newly developed interface technology supports iPhone 4 and iPod touch (4th generation) running iOS 4.2 or later. In addition, AppRadio enables direct access to the latest iPod functions, such as custom playlists and Genius Mixes, which let users automatically create playlists of music with similarities from their music library.
Safe, in-vehicle phone functionality is simple with built-in Bluetooth, enabling hands-free cellular phone operation using the cars speakers and the included external microphone to turn the car into a rolling speakerphone. Access to the users phonebook is provided via Bluetooth phonebook transfer, with browsing and searching available by touchscreen controls.
The AppRadio includes a 30-pin connector, external GPS antenna, external microphone for hands-free calling and input/output connections to support the addition of an optional rear view camera, wired remote steering wheel control adapter and an external amplifier via one set of preamp outputs.
The AppRadio App is available now from the App Store for the iPhone 4 and iPod touch (4th generation)
If you frequently use your phone in the car, for music or calls, a car kit is an accessory worth investing in. A car kit will probably be the most expensive accessory purchase you can make for your phone, so its worth spending some time looking at whats available, reading reviews and making sure that the kit you are about to buy does everything you need it to and most importantly that its likely to work with your future phones too.
If you are looking to buy a car kit, then a Parrot car kit is the way to go. Over the last few years, Parrot have grown from a relatively unheard of company to one that produces excellent car kits that even the big names in mobiles, such as Nokia, can not compete with.
Parrot CK3100 Advanced Bluetooth Car Kit
The Parrot CK3100 has been around for a long time now, but its still a firm favorite, particularly among fleet managers. In terms of features its pretty simple with hands free calling with voice dial and phone book synchronisation. It has a clear LCD display that shows you the name/number of callers and allows you to scroll through your address book without having to touch your phone. Installation is pretty straight forward as the CK3100 connects using the standard ISO connections on the back of your car radio, although not all cars use ISO, so you may need to purchase some additional cables.
As with all of the Parrot Car Kits, the CK3100 doesnt use an external speaker in the passenger footwell, instead, all audio is routed through your car stereo speakers. This gives you much more control over volume levels and callers are much clearer and easier to understand.
Parrot MKi9100 Bluetooth Car Kit
The main difference between the MKi range of kits and the CK3100 are their music capabilities. In addition to being able to handle calls, the MKi kits do a brilliant job of streaming music from your phone, MP3 player or USB flash drive through your existing Car Stereo. Controlling the Car Kit is done through a small remote that can either stick to your dashboard or attach to your steering wheel.
Each MKi kit has a connectivity cable that has a 3.5mm line in, USB port and Apple Dock connector. This allows you to connect pretty much any audio source to the kit and enjoy the sound through your car stereo. If you connect an iPod or iPhone using the Dock connector you can also use the remote to control your music playback. Every Parrot Car Kit is easily updated. Frequent software updates are available free of charge from the Parrot website and will often improve compatibility/usability.
If the idea of a screen sitting on your dashboard makes you nervous, dont worry, its detachable and can be taken with you when you leave the car. In terms of features and usability, its very similar to the CK3100, but with music support. The MKi9100 is still worth choosing even if you dont plan on using it for music. The difference in price is minimal when you take into account the extra features that you get like easy software updates, removable screen and better phonebook sync & voice dialling.
Parrot MKi9200 Bluetooth Car Kit
The MKi9200 is significantly different to the MKi9100. Most obvious is of course the screen. It comes with a 2.4 inch colour screen that will not only show names and numbers of callers, but also their photo and during music playback, album art is displayed (if present on your phone). The screen also has an SD card reader built into it. This means that instead of storing your music on your phone or USB stick, you can put all your music on an SD card (max 32GB) and have it in the car permanently.
Controlling the car kit is done using the same remote that comes with the Mki9100 kit, but with the bigger display, navigating the menus is a little bit quicker and easier. If you have use your smart phone or an iPod as your music source in the car then you may not need the extra features that you get with the MKi9200 as the MKi9000 will be more than adequate.
The AVIC-F930BT is a handsome solution that offers navigation, audio/video playback and hands-free telephony in your car. The 6.1 inch (15,5 cm) WVGA hi-res touch screen with intuitive interface operates smoothly and is customisable to your preferences. So many possibilities without any hassle or distraction. Driving safely is what matters.
Highlights include:
The latest maps covering the whole of Europe, AM/FM radio and many popular audio or video formats (CD, DVD, USB, MicroSD card, DivX supported) and direct iPod/iPhone control (with optional cable) a partially detachable front panel to prevent theft the new App mode enables listening to music and video from your iPhone and iPod touch Apps.
Text-to-Speech (TTS) provides detailed voice guidance messages in 18 languages. It is also used to safely relay traffic information, flag events and suggest new routes based on Traffic Message Channel (TMC) bulletins.
With audio, there is no compromise: alongside high-end components, the Auto EQ (with optional microphone) lets you best match your device to the acoustics of your car. It will measure and tune the in-car environment to obtain a full frequency response.
If you prefer more muscle, 3 RCA outs are on tap to connect additional amplifiers, speakers and subwoofers.
A Parrot Bluetooth module allows you to leave your phone anywhere in the vehicle or in your pocket. It remembers up to 5 users and their contacts are automatically available to browse and call.
Customise your navigation: available for your PC, iPhone and smartphone, our online NavGate Feeds PC application allows you to add POIs using Google Maps and ViaMichelin (6.1 million POIs are pre installed).
Additionally, you can track and analyse journeys (useful for expenses) through the Drive Report function and evaluate your driving performance with Eco Drive (including acceleration, braking and CO2 emissions).
