Example of installed Smarty Trend car stereo in the Hyundai Santa Fe 3 (2012-2018) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features.
The standard car configuration
Obviously, when you want to buy the in-dash head unit you do not want to say goodbye to your useful and comfortable car factory functions. Therefore, car owners are often concerned with the question: does the new multimedia device support the car factory features? Often, this doubt holds the motorists from the purchase of head media device. Today we offer you a review of the compatibility of in-dash Android head unit SMARTY Trend with factory functions of Hyundai Santa Fe (2012-2018).
A Little bit about design
The plastic of head unit is matte as regular car plastic. In vehicles with factory navigation screen, the geometry of the plastic strip (at the bottom of a head unit) is a little different. But this problem has already solved. The correct size plastic strip in a form of a glove box is available from the SMARTY Trend factory.
The car with factory navigation system.
Parking system and rearview camera
The work of parking sensors and a rearview camera will also be available after the installation of head unit SMARTY Trend. The factory function of displaying the dynamic lines while turning the steering wheel also keeps. Also, you will be able to disable the parking lines.
Climate control
The climate control information is not transmitted via the CAN bus, so it will not be displayed on the screen of the head unit.
The buttons on the steering wheel
The buttons on the steering wheel also retain their functionality. Voice control is not supported. Also, you will be able to reconfigure the buttons for the functions you need. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Even lighting of the head unit buttons will fit into the interior since it is also blue.
USB
All Hyundai and Kia cars have USB protocol 1.1. So if you have selected this protocol in the settings head unit will support the regular USB. This protocol is not speedy. To make it faster it is practiced to move USB in the glove box and select USB protocol 2.2. It is for you to decide what will be more convenient for you.
Microphone
Factory microphone is also working after the head unit installation.
Now we can summarize: the head union SMARTY Trend supports Hyundai Santa Fe (2012-2018) factory functions, which is another advantage of the head union SMARTY Trend and the reason to install it in your car as soon as possible.
