Product Overview
The CAC USBHY2 solves the USB port retention challenge when replacing factory head units with aftermarket stereos in Hyundai, Kia, and Ssangyong vehicles from 2011 onwards. Factory USB ports integrated into vehicle dashboards and center consoles become non-functional when original head units are removed during aftermarket installations. This adapter maintains USB port functionality, preserving convenient smartphone charging and data connections in factory locations after aftermarket head unit upgrades, ensuring drivers retain essential connectivity features expected in modern vehicles across Korean manufacturers popular in the Australian market.
The retention adapter interfaces between factory USB sockets and aftermarket head units, ensuring original USB locations remain operational. This maintains dashboard aesthetics and convenient USB access without adding aftermarket USB extensions or losing factory port functionality designed into these vehicles’ architecture. The exceptional 930mm cable length provides maximum installation flexibility for vehicles with complex dashboard routing, USB ports located far from head unit positions, or commercial vehicles requiring extended cable reach across large cabins, making the USBHY2 ideal for commercial vans like Hyundai iLoad and iMax where USB ports may be positioned at significant distances from stereo mounting locations.
Compatible with Hyundai models from 2016+, Kia from 2015+, and Ssangyong from 2014+, covering wide range of popular vehicles including family sedans, SUVs, and commercial vans. Important: Verify your specific vehicle model year and USB connection type before ordering. Compatibility depends on factory USB configuration, and customers are responsible for confirming correct fitment. We cannot accept returns for incorrect vehicle compatibility selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I need this adapter for my Hyundai, Kia, or Ssangyong vehicle?
