Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the CAC HHY3K retain all factory steering wheel control functions?

A: The HHY3K retains factory steering wheel audio control functionality when paired with a compatible aftermarket head unit. The extent of steering wheel control retention may vary depending on the specific head unit model installed. For best results, use with Canbus-equipped head units from Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, or Nakamichi.

Q: Do I need any additional harnesses or adaptors to complete the installation?

A: The HHY3K provides the vehicle-side wiring connection for steering wheel control retention. Depending on your specific vehicle and chosen head unit, you may also require a secondary ISO harness to complete the full electrical connection between the factory loom and the head unit. Contact F.A.E. with your vehicle and head unit details for installation guidance.

Q: Is the HHY3K compatible with all Hyundai and Kia models?

A: The HHY3K covers a specific range of Hyundai and Kia models listed in the compatibility section. It is not a universal harness for all Hyundai and Kia vehicles. Confirm your vehicle's make, model, and year against the compatibility list before ordering, or contact F.A.E. for fitment confirmation.

Q: Will this harness work with my existing factory wiring without any modifications?

A: Yes. The HHY3K is designed for plug-and-play installation, connecting directly to the factory vehicle loom without cutting, splicing, or modifying any factory wiring. This preserves the integrity of the vehicle's electrical system and allows the harness to be removed cleanly if required.

Q: Is professional installation recommended?

A: While the HHY3K is designed for plug-and-play installation, professional installation by a qualified auto electrician or car audio installer is recommended to ensure steering wheel control integration and all connections function correctly, particularly when combined with secondary ISO harnesses or additional integration components.
