RP4.2-HY11 Radio Replacement & Steering Wheel Control Interface for Select Hyundai Vehicles

Introduction and Features

The RP4.2-HY11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Hyundai vehicles. Using this interface will retain factory features such as: steering wheel controls (SWC), secondary screens, reverse camera and factory SPDIF audio amplifier (separate part required, part # RPA-SPDIF) whenever the original radio is removed. Use of this interface also allows you to program two radio functions to each SWC button by using short press long press dual command functionality. The RP4.2-HY11 also provides data bus driven outputs such as vehicle speed sense (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger and parking brake.

Important Notes

1. These instructions apply to R.01.0.17 or later revisions. The revision info can be found on a small white sticker on the interface and packaging.
2. Not compatible in any car with factory navigation.
3. Does not retain Blue Link.
4. The Hyundai Veloster requires the RP4.2-HY12.
5. You must connect the HS-CAN wires at the ODBII connector to receive nav signals (reverse, parking brake, VSS) or the programmable trigger options (foot brake, various vehicle triggers). If you do not require these signals then it is not necessary to connect these wires.
6. The AUX connection in the RP4 harness will only provide sound if the aftermarket radio has a USB port. This is because the USB port provides the power to make the factory USB / AUX port work. If you have connected the USB plug to your aftermarket radio and it is still inoperable, this means that the aftermarket radio's USB port is not supplying enough current.
7. When using the RPA-SPDIF in factory amplified vehicles, you can adjust factory amplifier settings such as Bass, Mid, Treble, Fader, Balance and Gain with the RadioPRO app. Please refer to page 6 for detailed instructions on the app and the functionality of the Red / White wire.
8. The following vehicles have a speed based Parking Brake output that will automatically disengage once the vehicle is going over 3 MPH: 2010-2014 Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Accent
9. In the following vehicles the external screen will power up and display "Aux". You will also lose the ability to set the factory clock: Genesis Coupe, 2010-2014 Hyundai Sonata
10. In the following vehicles, the external screen will power up and display "Hyundai". The climate control display will also be retained: Hyundai Azera

Steering Wheel Controls

Default Steering Wheel Control Programming

IMPORTANT! The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicles factory SWC functions and does not require programming unless you wish to re-assign the SWC functions, utilize short press long press dual command functionality or assign the programmable 12v output to a SWC button. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to flash 3 times.

Optional Steering Wheel Control Programming

If you wish to re-assign the SWC functions, utilize short press long press dual command functionality or assign the programmable 12v output to a SWC button, the interface must be programmed in the specific order shown in the chart on page 4. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press and release the programming button on the side of the interface to skip that function. The LED will flash off and on confirming that you have successfully skipped that function and are ready to proceed to the next one.

Short Press Long Press Dual Command Functionality

This feature allows you to assign two aftermarket radio functions to each of the vehicles SWC buttons. It can be used with as many of the buttons as the user likes or none at all. When this functionality is implemented, quickly pressing and releasing a SWC button will initiate the short press command while pressing and holding a SWC button for longer than two seconds will initiate the long press command. Please note that no long press commands are programmed by default. If you wish to assign dual command functionality to the SWC please follow the programming steps on the next page.

Programmable 12v Output

The red/white wire on the interface can be programmed via the RadioPRO app to do a pulsed or latched 12v output which can then be assigned to any of the vehicle's factory SWC buttons. When assigned, the factory SWC button will activate the pulsed or latched output to control external accessories. Please refer to page 6 for more details on how to use the app to set this feature.

Steering Wheel Control Re-Calibration

SWC re-calibration is necessary when the SWC operation in vehicles with analog SWC is erratic or non-existant. This process re-calibrates the SWC values to the RP4 interface so it will know what they can be set to for button function assignment. The interface must be programmed in the specific order shown in the chart on the next page. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have you must press and release the program button on the side of the interface to skip that function. The LED will flash off and on confirming that you have successfully skipped that function and are ready to proceed to the next one.

The SWC and radio command assignments can always be restored to default values by entering re-calibration mode (Steps 1-2) and not pressing any buttons. After 7 seconds the re-calibration mode will time out and all default values will be restored.

SWC Re-Calibration Procedure

1. Turn the key to the ignition position.
2. Press and hold the programming button until the LED begins blinking amber. When the LED begins blinking, release the programming button. The LED will light solid amber. PLEASE NOTE: If the vehicle has CAN-Bus SWC the LED will never blink amber and will go directly to blinking red.
3. Within 7 seconds, press and hold the button that is to be learned on the steering wheel. The LED will turn off when the button is pressed and begin blinking when the value has been learned. Once the LED begins blinking, release the button.
4. If you need to program more buttons, repeat step 3 for each additional audio function on the steering wheel.
5. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, press and release the program button on the side of the interface to skip that function.
6. Once programming is completed, wait seven seconds. The LED will flash indicating end of programming.
7. Test the interface for proper functionality. Whenever a SWC is pressed the LED on the interface should blink. If any function does not work, repeat the programming steps.

Button Programming Order

After you have re-calibrated the SWC buttons, the default SWC button assignments will be the same as what is listed in the chart on page 3. If you wish to re-assign button functions you must also go through the programming process on page 4.

Testing and Verification

1. Turn the ignition on. The LED on the interface will turn on and the +12v accessory wire will turn on.
2. Turn on the radio and check balance and fade. Note: Factory amplified Systems must use the Radio PRO App to adjust amplifier settings. Verify that the factory subwoofer (if present) is playing.
3. Verify that all SWC are functioning properly.
4. Verify that the programmable 12v+ output is functioning as intended.
5. The LED and radio will turn off when the ignition is turned off.

Restoring Factory Settings

You can restore the interface to factory default settings by pressing and holding the programming button on the side of the module until the status LED starts blinking red. Once the LED starts blinking red, release the button. You must release the button while the LED is blinking red in order to perform the reset.

This reset will restore the following settings to their factory defaults:

• SWC Mapping
• SWC Calibration
• Programmable 12v+ Output (Latched)
• Factory Amplifier Settings

RadioPRO App

Use of the RadioPRO App in Hyundai allows you to do the following:

• Configure User Interface Options such as: Red/White wire output behavior, Factory amplifier settings (Bass, Mid, Treble, Gain, Fader and Balance).
• Update Product Firmware
• Read Firmware/Hardware Versions
• Access Product User Manuals

Programmable Red/White Wire

The red/white wire can be programmed to do a pulsed or latched trigger that is controlled by a user assigned steering wheel control button. Select User Interface Options then set the behavior of the red/white wire using the drop down menu.

Latched - This selection will provide a latched 12v+ output that can be tied to any of the vehicles SWC. This means that when you press the assigned SWC, the red/white wire will turn on and remain on until the assigned SWC is pressed again or the ignition is turned off.

Pulsed - This selection will provide a user programmable timed 12v+ output that can be tied to any of the vehicles SWC. This means that when you press the assigned SWC, the red/white wire will pulse for the pre-programmed user time. The range for pulse time is 100 milliseconds - 25.5 seconds (.1-25.5).

The RadioPRO app screenshots show the interface for configuring the Programmable 12V Output. One shows the 'Latched' option selected, and the other shows the 'Pulsed' option selected with a field for 'SWC Pulse Time(Sec)'.

Factory Amplifier Settings

The RadioPRO app will also allow you to adjust the settings of the factory amplifier. You can adjust Amp Gain, Fader, Balance, Bass, Mid and Treble. Restoring factory settings on the module will default all values back to middle.

Firmware Updates

The RadioPRO app will also allow you to update the interface with new firmware as it becomes available.
