Mr. Fredrik, I noticed that you just joined the Hyundai Forums 1 day ago. Welcome to the Hyundai Forums.
You have selected a great android unit. However, I found out just like you that these units claim that they are plug n play but they really are not. However, once they are setup and configured correctly they are amazing. I am assuming they have provided you with instructions on the installation.
Few questions need to be answered.
The original head unit is it an OEM Hyundai unit or is it aftermarket?
The amplifier you mentioned is not JBL or Infinity. I looked it up and it comes up as a 2012 Santa Fe amplifier. Maybe they might used it for later years.
Now the seller should offer different harnesses one without factory amplifier and one with factory amplifier. Make sure you confirm that they sent you the correct harness.
When you connect the harness make sure it plugged in very firmly and listen for the click.
Then from the harness make sure that your canbus is firmly connected and plugged into the right spot on the back of the unit.
Plug in your USB connector to the right port on the back.
There should be another cable with the audio inputs and outputs. Make sure you have the cable plugged into the right port at the back.
Then make sure to plug in FL OUT to FL IN and FR OUT to FR IN.
The unit may also need to be setup by region, so please ask them how to get into their engineering settings and configure it for Europe. Mine was setup for China and needed to configured for North America.
Also, make sure they walk you through setting up your canbus as mine was set for a different make and model. Once we configured it for Sonata 8th Gen everything started working. Yours may need to be set to Sonata 8th Gen or ix35/45. Not sure but please confirm with the seller. They need to consult their distributor.
Not sure if your harness is the same but here is a diagram that was provided to me. View attachment 445617
RCA RED and WHITE GETS CONNECTED TO YOUR AMPLIFIER. Your unit should have another cable that has all the inputs and outputs.
Example:

Only one connection you will have to make and that is FL (White) to FL (White) and FR (Red) to FR (Red).
The android unit sends the audio to amplifier which then disperses it to all speakers. you will have no control using fade or balance.
Please make sure your antenna cable is plugged in.
Please try that and report back. Steering wheels control is another issue. There is a pink wire with a clip try unclipping that and leaving it disconnected and then retest steering wheel controls.
Good luck.

Hi 2XPLICIT, thanks for posting the review and pics. Do you have a picture of the 12-volt to 6-volt Step-Down Converter connection?
On my non-tesla-style unit I also had no sound out of the box. I fixed it by doing this (which may not be the same for you, but you never know):thanks
the original headunit is a hyundai one never changed it model LAN2100EHDM
took some pictures ot the stereo and the wiring harness, tried to change some protocols for the canbus but no luck.
still no sound i even tried with another canbus decoder (got 2 extra from the seller)
when i google my amplifier and the jbl one, the connections looks the same so must be something else or??
do i need to connect the amp wire from the android stereo??
As for which CANBUS protocol to use, I was able to tell by the imprint on the plastic of the CANBUS box. It had a brand name, and there was a matching protocol in the CANBUS settings. Under that I chose the 'GM' option (IX45 also worked I believe)....the head unit needs to be hooked up so that the Front left and right RCA plugs going to the CANBUS/SPDIF box.
In Car Info > Audio-A make sure to center every setting. Ignore the numerical value that shows up, the center is the proper setting.
For me these were:
In the equalizer app turn off Surround Sound as it relies on the rear channels to work and with the Infinity system, we lose the rear and sub channels (they get recreated from the front channels instead). I'd suggest turning it off in general since it's only good for the driver and bad for everyone else anyway.
- Sound at 25 instead of 0.
- FAD at 10 (50% front, 50% rear) instead of 0.
- BAL at 10 (50% left, 50% right) instead of 0.
- Treble at 0 instead of -10.
- Middle at 0 instead of -10.
- Bass at 0 instead of -10.
Also in the equalizer app I suggest turning on Loudness (tap Settings button on the screen with all the sliders) so that you have some bass at lower volumes. I also use Preset Mode 1 and have Bass Enhancement to 4 at < 68hz I think. I'm still changing these all the time to find a good balance between sound quality at lower and higher volume. An alternative that I didn't mind was leaving the equalizer flat, no Loudness, no Bass Enhancement, and just turning the Treble slider (which is really Bass) in Audio-A.
I have santa fe 2016 steerkng wheel working but sound no working i have many cables RCA maybe need amp to work how can give ordrr to amp to workMr. Fredrik, I noticed that you just joined the Hyundai Forums 1 day ago. Welcome to the Hyundai Forums.

HiThe unit came unconfigured.
I had to speak with engineers to configure it for our model of vehicle. Which included me getting into their engineering mode.
2014 Santa Fe Sport Limited 2.0T.
Several changes were made. However, I will post pictures reviewing everything once I get the 12v to 6v reverse camera adapter installed.
They also sent me a Android 9.0 firmware update. (which I haven't installed)
They will also provide me Android 10 once they have it available.
Will keep you posted.
