Witson Unit for i10

suneet_ag · 23rd June 2011, 14:56

HYUNDAI i10----ZHUHAI WITSON INDUSTRIAL CO.,LTD.---Professional Car DVD Player Manufacturer

Has anybody any experience of installing it? I plan to install it in my upcoming i10 Asta.

Will the bluetooth steering controls work? The manufacturer cannot confirm.

Also, can we use mapmyindia on witson HU?

Did install and its a beauty. Well , applications which work are:
1. Bluetooth
2. DVD
3. USB - all kinds of files
4. Radio
5. Ipod interfacing
6. navigation

I dont have steering mounted controls. So I cannot confirm that, but apparently it has something to do with the CAN BUS. Well as far as I am concerned, everything works perfectly and yeah well, being a chinese unit on Windows CE, I really dont know how long it will last. So far AnkitPrashar who installed it first has nothad a problem. I hope ,i go the same way too.

@ suneet_ag - where do you plan to order it from? Please update in this thread as I am also interested.

knp · 24th June 2011, 05:20

guys, please post more details like the from where did you source this and the cost involved etc, as I am also looking to install this.

ventolute · 24th June 2011, 09:13

I sourced it from the manufacturers themselves. I guess its the best option rather than sourcing from Alibaba or other similar sites.
You can get in touch with anna@witson.com.
She will help you out, with the products, undervaluing it for customs purposes etc;

It cost me a total of 466 USD for the( unit + reverse cam(20$) + Igo maps for india(10 $)). plus another 4k for the customs.
delivery was by DHL .

suneet_ag · 24th June 2011, 15:32

I agree with ventolute - the best source is the manufacturer.

@ventolute - you installed it in the vento? or in and i10?

I am looking at the i10 specific model.

ventolute · 24th June 2011, 17:41

Yeah well , I installed it on the Vento. but whatever the model, their units are simple plug and play. So it shouldnt matter.

Hey Ventolute, could you please post pics of your install and the menus?

I've read that the menus/fonts are not very good looking, and apparently people have used some tools to improve/change the menu icons on these Head Units:

Thanks!

Friends, can someone please point me on how to remove the factory HU from i10 sportz? I have got pioneer HU and would like to install it.

Sankar · 11th October 2011, 09:00

KNP, You have to first remove the aircon vents, its just press fit. There should be a puller tool available for this purpose, or you have to use something else to pull it out without breaking anything. Once the vent is out you can unscrew the HU from the front. Pull and push the hu, from behind through the glove box opening, (remove glove box first) and it should be out.

knp · 11th October 2011, 09:26

Thanks Sankar for the details. I will try out and try to put the detailed pictures over here.

Hey, thanks for the link. I checked the pics and your setup. No problem about the editing link. Keep us posted on whether the changes are really worth the effort!
