Hyundai i20 Radio Replacement Parts

The first generation i20 ran from 2008 to 2014, with a facelift in 2012, and radios from anywhere within that first-gen span are the most likely to be compatible with your car. That said, the 2012 facelift did bring updates to the dashboard and infotainment, so whether a pre-facelift unit swaps cleanly into a post-facelift car (or vice versa) is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration. Never assume fitment without checking the specific part number.

The second generation i20 launched in 2014 and is a significantly different car with a redesigned interior, so a radio from a 2014-onwards i20 is very unlikely to be a straight swap into a 2008–2014 model. This is a clear generation boundary and crossing it is not recommended without the breaker confirming the part numbers match your specific registration. Always ask the breaker to check compatibility before buying.

For the purpose of physical fitment, trim level does not determine whether a radio will fit — the generation and facelift period matter far more than whether the donor car was an S, SE, or Premium trim. However, you may find cosmetic differences such as button layouts, screen size, or surround finishes between trim levels, so the unit may look slightly different to your original even if it slots in. Confirm the connector type and fascia dimensions with the breaker to avoid any surprises.

A 2013 i20 is a first generation model (2008–2014), while a 2015 i20 belongs to the second generation (2014 onwards), so these sit either side of a clear generation boundary. Fitment across that boundary is unlikely due to changes in the dashboard design and wiring, but confirm this with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing. Do not assume the units are interchangeable.

No — engine type has no bearing on radio fitment for the Hyundai i20, so you can disregard whether the breaker's car was a petrol or diesel. What matters is that the radio comes from the correct generation and, ideally, the same facelift phase as your car. Ask the breaker to confirm the part matches your registration to be sure.

The second generation i20 received a facelift in 2018, and while both sit within the same broad generation, changes to the infotainment system mean a post-facelift unit may not be a guaranteed fit in a pre-facelift second generation car from 2014–2018. Name the generation boundary clearly when speaking to the breaker, and ask them to verify part numbers and wiring compatibility against your specific registration. This is a case where checking with the breaker rather than assuming interchangeability is strongly advised.
