DIY adding OEM steering wheel stereo controls (Hyundai Elantra)

[@ALKayaker]

Just added the volume controls to an 15 Elantra and kept the OEM cruise module. FYI: there is a screw holding both the volume control and cruise control on the back of the steering wheel, a 1/4" drill bit reversed works pretty good for releasing the air bag, the steering wheel nut has to be released (21mm) to give access to the replacement wiring harness but make sure to mark the steering wheel so it goes back on originally installed (also mark the 21mm nut so you know it's torqued correctly). Easy mod :)

[@dannyboy2237]

Maybe it’s just my 2014 Hyundai Elantra but you skipped the two screws from the back. I also wished you showed how you removed and threaded the new wiring harness. I ended up disconnecting the battery, completely removing the airbag, and removing the steering wheel. After that it was very easy. Thank you for this video which gave me the baseline and belief I could do this myself.

[@TacoRick]

I ended up doing the same. I didn't disconnect the air bag. Just removed and loosened up the steering wheel enough to tread it in.

i have a 2012 manual which was limited for options, so this is good to see

Great job bro

[@MMolina95]

What was the part number for the harness?

[@Xx_Sterbern_xX]

Not sure but the description is about tacoma and not the elantra. Could post the links in the description of the parts you used for the elantra? BTW awesome I too have 18 trd offroad and my wife has an 12 elantra.

[@TacoRick]

I have no link as I had to search all over ebay for it.

Hello. I would like to know more about the tool you used to pop off the horn/air bag assembly from the steering wheel,

[@TacoRick]

Just a pin tool. Any small screw driver will work too

@@TacoRick Please help! Sir, i have only one serious minor issue in my Hyundai i20 2011. The Head Unit, MID Display Unit are all OK. No issues. I do not have issues with HORN. All parts are OEM. However, none of the steering button controls are functioning when the MID Display is in STANDBY SCREEN MODE. First, I have to play media either via Aux, CD or FM using the buttons on the Head Unit. Only thereafter, all steering audio controls are working as normal. Is this normal? Are the steering controls designed to work only when first media is being played. I have also confirmed changes in voltage to the signal input line whenever any steering buttons are pressed. This confirms the signal line is OK. Please help to fix why buttons are not working when MID Display is in standby mode. Thanks.

[@robanimahizan9186]

hi sir. my elantra 1.6 auto just like your steering wheel button. can i install the button just like that? i mean just plug and play

[@TacoRick]

Stereo has to support it

[@seangrim3293]

its near impossible to unscrew the back screw of steering wheel switch because you cant see anything.

[@joshvargas120]

Hey where did you buy the cable for your hyundai elantra, i need to buy one?

[@TacoRick]

Ebay

[@ryanrodriguez1234]

How much would it cost to hire someone to do all this?

[@TacoRick]

Parts for the stereo and wiring and wheel controls are around a grand install probably around 800.

[@854Justin]

Does cruise control still work?

[@TacoRick]

Yep

Hey Rick, I had a question for you about tonneau covers. I know you have the gator trifold soft cover and I wondering your thoughts between the soft trifold cover and the hard trifold cover. How has your experience with the soft trifold cover been and do you recommend the soft or recommend get the hard shell? Thanks!

[@TacoRick]

I like my soft and uts cheaper and lighter to store when not using

Thanks Help me a Lot! Whats the part number for volume control and cables set that you add to the steering wheel bro! My Car disn’t came with it

[@luislugo43]

Do you have details the item do you used I have the switch but where I found the another piece? Thanks for your video

[@TacoRick]

Check the first video when I installed the stereo. I bought everything on crutch field they have a builder that provides everything you need

[@7439norma]

Have you ever added fog lights to a Hyundai Elantra 2011

[@TacoRick]

No have not

[@gonzogonz915]

Man I just did this and none of the controls work now. Unplugged and reconnected all the plugs and still nothing not even the cruse controls work. Not sure what the problem is.

[@kylepindar1234]

I have the same issue and noticed the wire pins are different on the new harness. Maybe its cause mine was made in Korea and they used separate pins?

[@CorazonDmelon]

Maybe vinyl wrapping trim inside elantra

[@AnthonyakaTh3B3ast]

So I just tried going from factory no steering controls to steering controls and they aren’t lighting up ?!? Any suggestions ?!? I feel like I hook them up right

[@brooklyngt2592]

Great explanation! Where did you get the controls from? Thanks

[@TacoRick]

Ebay had to find a stock used one

[@zai1997]

Thank you so much!

Make a mod on the truck by making more bass

i added the new double side harness for both steering controls and now cruise control doesnt work. suggestions anyone?

[@TacoRick]

Weird. Should change anything. Mine worked fine. Loose wire?

[@seangrim3293]

@@TacoRick i ordered wrong wiring harness. can you verify the part number of wiring harness? might wana mention that in video because there are multiple ones per us made and korean made cars. the one i just ordered looks like yours in the video so i hope it works.

[@Gino20202]

Are you disconnecting anything related to the airbag?

No
