Hyundai i800 / H-1 / Grand Starex (2015-2021) Android 15 Car Stereo Head Unit

Exceptional customer support

Package arrived in 2 days, beautifully boxed. I had a slight issue identifying the correct reverse trigger wire on the van's loom. Messaged SyncSonic support on WhatsApp, and they sent me a clear photo diagram instantly. Brilliant service.

Pure digital audio output for custom builds

I built a huge custom sound system for my motorhome. I bypassed the internal amp completely and used the optical TOSLINK output straight into a Mosconi DSP. The audio signal is completely pure digital. Audiophile dream.

USB ports routed nicely

The provided dual USB cables were long enough to route straight into the upper dashboard storage cubby. Keeps my flash drives and charging cables completely hidden out of sight from passengers.

Android 15 is exceptionally stable

Running live OBD2 engine telemetry via Bluetooth, streaming HD music, and running Waze simultaneously on the A18 PRO model. The system hasn't crashed or hung up a single time on our 10-hour drive to France.

Solid mounting hardware

The new fascia clips securely into the original factory mounting holes. The screen is rock solid and doesn't vibrate or shake at all over rough UK country and campsite roads. Very well manufactured plastics.

Highly responsive touchscreen

The capacitive glass feels premium, just like a high-end tablet. Swiping through the app drawer and pinching to zoom on satellite camper maps is incredibly fluid without any frustrating ghosting.

Massive 128GB local storage

Downloaded massive offline map areas for a European road trip in our camper, plus gigabytes of downloaded Netflix shows. The eMMC storage is very fast and I still have tons of space left over.

Flawless GPS lock in remote areas

The magnetic GPS receiver works flawlessly. I mounted it right underneath the plastic top dash cover. It locks onto 15+ satellites instantly with zero dropouts, even when we take the motorhome into the Scottish Highlands.

Kids love the Netflix capability

When we are parked up or waiting at the ferry terminal, I can fire up Netflix or YouTube right on the dashboard. The IPS screen has great viewing angles so even the middle row passengers can see the screen clearly.

A6 PRO base model is incredible value

I didn't need 4G or crazy RAM for my work van, just wanted Wireless CarPlay for my daily commute. The A6 PRO quad-core handles it perfectly. Very cost-effective way to get modern navigation.

Wireless Android Auto is flawless

I jump in, turn the key, and my Samsung links up wirelessly in about 5 seconds. No messing around with cables tangling around the gear selector on the dash. Rock solid connection that hasn't dropped once.

Split screen is perfect on a 9-inch display

The widescreen aspect ratio is practically made for split-screen. I have Google Maps running on the driver's side of the screen, and Spotify on the passenger side. Incredibly functional layout for long highway drives.

Bluetooth calls are crystal clear in a noisy van

Mounted the supplied clip-on microphone near the sun visor. Callers say they can hear me perfectly at 70mph over the diesel road noise, the echo cancellation software on the Bluetooth 5.0 chip does a stellar job.

Installation is very straightforward

Taking the i800 dashboard apart is actually very easy, you just pop off the surrounding trim piece with a plastic pry tool. The actual stereo wiring is strictly plug-and-play with the ISO harness. Very rewarding DIY project.

Button colours match the Hyundai blue perfectly

You can go into the system settings and adjust the RGB backlighting of the physical buttons on the side. I dialed it in to match the classic Hyundai blue instrument cluster. Looks gorgeous at night.

Zero lag with 8GB RAM (X73 PRO)

I went for the highest spec version. Bouncing between Waze, Apple CarPlay, and split-screen Android apps is buttery smooth. The Octa-Core processor handles heavy GPS rendering without breaking a sweat.

Audio quality improved dramatically

Factory Hyundai van speakers are notoriously tinny. The built-in 32-band DSP chip completely opened up the soundstage. I tuned the bass and mid-range, and it sounds 100x better without even changing the door speakers.

Fantastic anti-glare IPS panel

Vans have massive windscreens that let in a ton of light. The anti-reflective coating on this glass is excellent, keeping the screen completely visible and readable even on bright summer days.

Instant boot is brilliant for taxi drivers

I use my i800 as an airport taxi. The fact this wakes from standby in under 2 seconds when I turn the key means my navigation is instantly ready for the next fare. Massively increases my efficiency.

The X73 PRO 360 camera makes parking a breeze

Parking the i800 in the UK is stressful. Bought the X73 tier and fitted the 360-degree cameras. The high-res ultra-wide display shows a perfect top-down view, making parallel parking this minibus completely effortless.

Steering wheel buttons retained instantly

Plugged the main block in, went into the steering wheel control app, and mapped my volume, track skipping, and phone answer buttons instantly. The Hyundai resistive steering wheel controls work perfectly without needing a complex CANbus box.

Great unit, take your time running the rear camera wire

The stereo plug-and-play aspect is flawless. Just a heads up, running a new AHD camera wire 5 meters to the rear tailgate takes a bit of patience, but the 1080p camera feed on this massive screen is a game changer for reversing this beast.

Essential upgrade for campervan conversions

I'm converting an H-1 into a motorhome. Bought the A18 PRO specifically for the 4G SIM slot. Put an EE data SIM in it, and now the van has its own permanent Wi-Fi network. We run the Park4Night app straight on the dash. Absolutely brilliant.

Absolutely transforms our family i800

The original blue-screen CD player was so outdated. This 9-inch screen cleans up the center console beautifully. The fascia matches the factory Hyundai dashboard texture perfectly. With 8 kids in the back, having Google Maps on a huge screen makes road trips infinitely less stressful.
