Hyundai i20 upgrades, generation by generation.

GB cars from 2014 to 2018 with the basic radio, nearly always for the Android screen, which is the car in our published i20 case study. PB owners come for the same screen. BC3 owners come for a wireless adapter on the 10.25-inch navigation or for rear parking sensors, both quick jobs done while you wait.

No. Both share the GB dashboard and radio with the five-door, so the same Android screen, fascia and camera kit fit. The Coupe has a different tailgate, so the camera position changes slightly, but the work and the time are the same, and the steering-wheel buttons and USB carry on as before.

PB — 2008–2014 (three-door and five-door): CD radio with no screen; Bluetooth and USB on later cars. GB — 2014–2020 (five-door, Coupe and Active): Radio with a small display, Bluetooth and USB on most cars; 7-inch touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on SE and higher trims after the 2018 facelift. BC3 — 2020 on: 8-inch display audio with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto on base cars, 10.25-inch navigation with wired CarPlay on higher trims. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.

CarPlay: Android screen on PB and basic-radio GB cars; a wireless adapter on touchscreen GB and BC3 navigation cars. Car radio: A 9-inch Android screen in place of the radio on PB and GB cars; the BC3 keeps its factory screen. Reversing camera: Camera in the tailgate handle on the Android screen or the factory touchscreen; factory camera on most BC3s. Parking sensors: Four rear sensors and a beeper that speeds up as you close in; nothing on the screen. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED kits in doors and dash, extended factory ambient on newer cars, app controlled. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Dash cam: Hardwired from the fuse box with parking mode and a low-voltage cut-off, cables hidden. Subwoofer: Under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the factory unit, boot space kept. Soundproofing: Doors and floor treated with butyl and foam, trim refitted without marks.

CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. Reversing camera: two to three hours. Parking sensors: two to three hours. Most i20 owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

PB: the CD radio with no screen; Bluetooth and USB on later cars stays and we add to it. GB: the Radio with a small display, Bluetooth and USB on most cars; 7-inch touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on SE and higher trims after the 2018 facelift stays and we add to it. BC3: the 8-inch display audio with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto on base cars, 10.25-inch navigation with wired CarPlay on higher trims stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.

Send the reg or the year on WhatsApp or the form below and we confirm the generation, the route, the price and the next free slot. Every job carries a one-year warranty on the work, done at our workshop in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
