Aerpro AMDHY21 9" Multimedia Receiver Hyundai iX35 S2 2013-15
9" Wireless CarPlay for the Hyundai iX35 Series 2 Reverse Camera, Vehicle Menu, and a Clean Factory Fit
Product Overview
The Aerpro AMDHY21 is a complete head unit upgrade kit built for the Hyundai iX35 Series 2 (2013–2015) without a factory navigation system. It replaces the factory unit with a 9" capacitive touchscreen at 1024x600 resolution, adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in DAB+ digital radio, and Bluetooth V5. Of the iX35-specific Aerpro kits, the AMDHY21 offers the strongest factory feature retention for Series 2 models retaining steering wheel controls, the factory reverse camera (if equipped), and vehicle menu access on selected variants.
The kit includes the AM905D multimedia receiver, a matte black vehicle-specific facia kit, SWC interface harness, and a 720P AHD universal rear camera. Factory USB and AUX inputs are not retained and no external adaptor is available for this purpose on this kit. Audio is handled by 4 x 50W max output, a 13-band EQ, time alignment, and 4V/5-channel RCA preouts for amplifier integration.
Features & Benefits
- Factory reverse camera retained (if equipped) — the AMDHY21 retains the iX35 Series 2 factory reverse camera via the head unit's reverse camera input, an advantage over the AMDHY17 which does not support camera retention on this platform
- Vehicle menu access retained (selected models) — preserves iX35 vehicle menu access on compatible Series 2 variants, consistent with the AMDHY17 on supported models
- Matte black vehicle-specific facia — matched to the iX35 Series 2 interior trim for a clean, factory-quality finish
- Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto — connect your phone over Wi-Fi for maps, music, calls, and messages; wired connection also supported for USB charging
- 9" capacitive touchscreen at 1024x600 resolution — a major step up from the factory display with smooth, responsive touch across maps, media, and settings
- Built-in DAB+ digital radio — digital sound clarity and expanded station access; AM/FM with RDS and 18 FM / 12 AM presets also included
- Bluetooth V5 with HD Voice — hands-free calling, audio streaming, and full phonebook access; internal and external microphone options for clear in-cabin audio
- Steering wheel controls retained — SWC interface harness included for plug-and-play retention of the factory SWC buttons
- 720P AHD universal rear camera included — Sony 225 1/3" CMOS sensor, 150-degree lens; works alongside the retained factory camera via the second camera input on compatible models
- 4 x 50W max output with 5CH 4V RCA preouts — supports external amplifier integration via 4V front/rear/sub preamp channels
- 13-band EQ and time alignment — 6 preset EQ modes plus 2 custom slots for iX35 cabin-specific tuning

Does this retain the factory reverse camera?
Yes, if the iX35 Series 2 is factory-equipped with a reverse camera, the AMDHY21 retains it using the head unit's reverse camera input. The included AHD camera connects via the second camera input.
Is the vehicle menu still accessible after installation?
Yes, on selected compatible iX35 Series 2 models the factory vehicle menu is retained after installation.
Are the factory USB and AUX inputs retained?
