CarPlay Head Unit for Hyundai H350 (2015-2021): how to install Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

Anyone who works with a Hyundai H350 spends more hours behind the wheel than most private drivers. Delivery routes that change every day, new addresses, customer calls while you drive and a lot of van miles. And yet the radio this van came with from the factory is among the most basic in its class: no navigation, no decent touchscreen and no way to bring the phone into the dashboard. Replacing it with a model-specific Android head unit is one of the most worthwhile upgrades you can make to a working H350, because it affects something you use for hours every single day.

Does the Hyundai H350 come with CarPlay?

No. No version of the H350 was sold with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto from the factory. This van, aimed at professional use, came with simple audio units: radio with CD or USB, Bluetooth for calls on the better-equipped trims and a small monochrome display. Navigation was never a common option, so almost every professional ends up with the same workaround: the phone in a mount stuck to the windscreen, sound coming out of the phone's speaker and one hand tied up tapping the screen. That is exactly the scenario a CarPlay head unit removes.

The solution: Android head unit for Hyundai H350

The model-specific Android head unit for the H350 replaces the original unit and fits its opening with its own fascia and connector, without universal adapters. It includes:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you do not depend on a cable at every stop
• HD touchscreen, far bigger and more legible than the original
• GPS navigation with maps of Spain and Europe, working offline
• Android system with the Play Store: Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, online radio and WiFi
• Bluetooth hands-free and two USB ports, to charge the phone while you work
• Built-in DSP, which helps compensate for the hard acoustics of a panel van cab
• Reversing camera included, switching on automatically when you select reverse
• Hyundai-specific CAN Bus connection, keeping the steering wheel controls

On a delivery van, the reversing camera included is no minor extra: in a load-carrying vehicle with a blind panel and no usable rear window, it is the difference between manoeuvring blind at a loading bay and actually seeing what is behind you.

Hyundai H350 compatibility: supported versions

This head unit is built for the 2015-2021 period of the H350 and covers all three body styles:

• Hyundai H350 van (2015-2021)
• Hyundai H350 chassis cab (2015-2021)
• Hyundai H350 minibus (2015-2021)

The fascia and the harness are specific to this van's dashboard, so it fits with no gaps and no cutting. If your vehicle has a different audio trim or you are not sure which connector it uses, send a photo of your current radio over WhatsApp: compatibility is confirmed for free within minutes before you order.

What is the installation like?

Fitting is plug & play, with no vehicle wires cut or spliced:

1. Remove the console trim and take out the original H350 radio (clips and screws, basic tools).
2. Connect the specific harness supplied to the van's original connector: it only fits one way.
3. Plug in the CAN Bus module, which keeps the steering wheel controls and factory accessories working.
4. If you are going to use the camera supplied, run its cable to the rear door or bumper and power it from the reversing light.
5. Slot the screen in, switch it on, connect to WiFi for the OTA updates and pair your phone.

Without the camera, swapping the radio takes 30 to 60 minutes with the guide supplied. Fitting the reversing camera as well adds some time because of running the cable along the vehicle, which in a long van is the most laborious part. Any auto electrician can take care of it, and since the original wiring is not modified the whole process is reversible.

The model-specific head unit for Hyundai H350 (2015-2021) starts at in the 1 GB + 16 GB version, with the fascia, harness, CAN Bus module and reversing camera included. The 2 GB + 32 GB version starts at and the 4 GB + 64 GB one, the smoothest for anyone who spends the whole day with navigation and music running at once, starts at .

Frequently asked questions

Does it work for both the van and the minibus version?

Do I keep the steering wheel controls?
Yes, thanks to the Hyundai-specific CAN Bus module: volume, track change and calls still work from the steering wheel.

Does the GPS work without mobile data?
Yes. It has built-in GPS and supports offline maps from Google Maps or Waze, which is handy in industrial estates and rural areas with poor coverage.

Can I use it with two different phones?
Yes, several phones can be paired and you can switch between them, useful if the van is driven by more than one member of staff.

Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, the product includes a warranty and after-sales support.
