Radio Engineer Mode / Android

This worked for me.
Is it possible to activate the speed traps for the navigation?
Is there some way to code it in?
To activate the speed traps you must first make your phone a WiFi hotspot, then join the car radio to that hotspot. Once you see the WiFi icon in the top right corner you can then go into Navi options and turn on speed camera warnings, without the hotspot that option won't even appear.

Thx mate. I didn’t give the feedback.
I already bought a mobile hot spot and was able to activate the speed traps.
 
Just went to my Australian dealer and was told they can't disable the battery discharge warning because it's not on their plug in computer they seamed not to know about the engineering mode option.

I also can't get into that menu sadly :(

Dear all,

Is the latest password already found for the Engineer Mode of the I30N? All codes previously mentioned are unfortunately not working.
After the 5 taps left and 2 taps right in Version info, its requesting a password.

Thanks guys!

More than likely it has been changed with a newer update. It's more of a liability issues for Hyundai. If you brick a head unit playing around with the engineering mode, Hyundai has no idea if you did it or if it's an actual manufacturing issue. So, I'd imagine it's been changed to preclude the prior.
 
Does anyone know if you can flatten The head unit EQ in engineering mode? With an amp and new speakers installed I have to have the treble at -7! It’s So heavily EQ’d

I found that after I installed my amp I could set the equaliser to mid on all frequencies. What software revision are you on?
 
I think it’s 112? Whatever the latest one is. Yeah i find the tweeters are very over powering unless you turn the treble right down

I must admit that the tweeters are too tinny, but I found that V112 sorted out a lot of the tinniness.
what Amp are you using? I used the pioneer one recommended on this forum and could then set the equaliser to the mid position on everything, prior to that I had -7 on mid and treble and +3 on the bass.

I struggled with this quite a bit. The problem is a bit multi layered but I might have figured something out.

The only way I could get good clean output into my aftermarket amplifier was through Android auto(bt audio and aux in are unusable for sound quality). Furthermore I run active 4channel front stage only. The 2 front outputs are wired to the midbass channels low passed at 3khz max gain 80w. The 2 back outputs are wired to the tweeter channels high passed at 3.5k min gain. In order to reduce the signal output to the tweeter channels I moved the fader all the way forward.

In android auto mode I set the head unit eq to bass 0 midrange -10 treble -9(I run highly efficient aftermarket speakers and a good amount extra door insulation this will be subjective ) . I prefer a transparent sound but the N is quite noisy so bass presence needs to be kept in order to have an enjoyable experience at decent speeds.

Also no dealer has any idea how to set the output to external amp mode. It's probably just a redundancy left from the i30 platform because AFAIK the i30N has no factory sound upgrade. I wish we could get the answer to this, might be the missing puzzle piece to decent sound quality with no workarounds.

Have you thought about running a DSP? The issue with just running an AMP is that the equalizer built into the radio is not doing proper equalizing. It's just shifting the frequency curve and distorting it even more. The AMP is then obv amplifying that bad quality and your sound output will never sound super clean.

I could only solve this issue by running a proper DSP and to control the tweeters directly from it and not from the head unit
