Second Hand Hyundai ix35 Aerial

Yes, the Hyundai ix35 is fitted with a roof-mounted mast aerial as standard across all variants, so this is a straightforward part to source from a breaker. All engine options and trim levels received one, so you do not need to worry about drivetrain or engine type when searching.

The ix35 ran from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift arriving in late 2013 that brought minor exterior changes. The roof mast aerial is a simple screw-fit item and the mounting point and thread size are very likely consistent across the pre-facelift and facelift cars, but because the boundary exists you should confirm with the breaker that the donor part matches your registration before buying.

Trim level does not affect aerial fitment on the ix35; Classic, Style, Premium, and SE variants all used the same roof mast aerial. You may find cosmetic differences such as finish or cap colour between donor cars, so it is worth asking the breaker to confirm the colour match if that matters to you.

The first-generation Tucson (2004-2009) and the ix35 (2010-2015) are related but are different generations of Hyundai's compact SUV, and the aerial base thread and mounting details may differ. It is possible a Tucson aerial fits, but you should confirm with the breaker against your ix35's registration rather than assume compatibility.

No, the engine has no bearing on aerial fitment; the same roof aerial was fitted regardless of whether your ix35 is a 1.6 or 2.0 petrol or a 1.7 or 2.0 diesel. Simply match the year of the donor car to your own and confirm with the breaker if you are at all unsure.

On most ix35 aerials the mast screws into a fixed base, so in many cases you can replace just the mast without disturbing the base or the interior wiring. A breaker can often sell you the mast on its own, which keeps the cost down; confirm with them that the thread pitch matches before purchasing.
