Aerpro SWHY5C Steering Wheel Control Interface Hyundai and Kia Various Models
An analogue steering wheel control interface engineered for various non-amplified Hyundai and Kia vehicles, the SWHY5C retains factory steering wheel controls with a vehicle-specific plug connection that requires no cutting of the factory wiring harness.
Product Overview
The Aerpro SWHY5C is an analogue steering wheel control interface designed for various Hyundai and Kia vehicles without OEM amplified sound systems. It includes a harness fitted with a vehicle-specific plug that connects directly into the existing factory wiring in the vehicle without cutting or modifying the factory harness. The SWHY5C is compatible with SW-type patch leads (sold separately) and supports the OEM phone button when connected to a compatible aftermarket Bluetooth head unit. Voice Assistant support is available; if the steering wheel controls do not include a dedicated Voice Assistant button, the answer button functions as voice support instead, provided the aftermarket head unit and paired phone also support the Voice Assistant feature. Custom button remapping is available and requires a USB-C cable (sold separately).
Installation is simplified when the SWHY5C is paired with the optional Aerpro APP8 Headunit Secondary ISO Harness (sold separately), which connects between the aftermarket head unit and the SWHY5C interface. The aftermarket head unit must be SWC compatible and steering wheel control functions may vary from OEM functions. The SWHY5C is not suitable for OEM amplified vehicles. Use the Aerpro Vehicle Selector to confirm the correct part for your specific vehicle before purchase.
Features & Benefits
Retains Factory Steering Wheel Controls with Aftermarket Head Unit: The SWHY5C allows the factory steering wheel audio controls to operate with a compatible aftermarket head unit, maintaining hands-on-the-wheel control without requiring the driver to reach for the head unit directly.
Compatible with Various Hyundai and Kia Models: The SWHY5C is engineered for a range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles without OEM amplified sound systems, including the Hyundai Elantra HD (2006-2010). Use the Aerpro Vehicle Selector to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase.
Vehicle-Specific Plug - No Wire Cutting Required: The SWHY5C harness is fitted with a vehicle-specific plug engineered to connect directly into the existing factory wiring in the vehicle. No cutting or modification of the factory wiring harness is required, simplifying installation and preserving the factory wiring integrity.
Analogue Interface Type: The SWHY5C uses an analogue interface type, compatible with the steering wheel control signal architecture used in the supported non-amplified Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
OEM Phone Button Support: The SWHY5C supports the OEM phone button on the steering wheel when connected to a compatible aftermarket Bluetooth head unit, allowing hands-free call answering and ending from the steering wheel controls.
Voice Assistant Support: Voice Assistant support is available through the SWHY5C. If the steering wheel does not include a dedicated Voice Assistant button, the answer button functions as voice support instead. The aftermarket head unit and paired phone must also support the Voice Assistant feature for this to operate.
Not Suitable for OEM Amplified Vehicles: The SWHY5C is not suitable for Hyundai or Kia vehicles fitted with OEM amplified sound systems. Use the Aerpro Vehicle Selector to confirm whether your specific vehicle has an OEM amplified system before purchase.
Custom Button Remapping Available: The SWHY5C supports optional custom button remapping to customise the steering wheel control button configuration. Remapping requires a USB-C cable (sold separately).
Compatible with Aerpro APP8 Secondary ISO Harness: The SWHY5C is recommended to be installed with the Aerpro APP8 Headunit Secondary ISO Harness (sold separately), which connects between the aftermarket head unit and the SWHY5C interface for a simplified and complete installation.
