Retained Factory Features: The Axxess Integrate AX-HYKIA1-SWC retains the following factory features in your vehicle after you have replaced the stock radio with an aftermarket head unit.
- Factory Amplifier: The Axxess Integrate AX-HYKIA1-SWC is designed for vehicles with or without amplified factory audio systems. However, vehicles with an amplified factory audio system, will also require the AX-HYKIA-SPDIF (sold separately).
- BlueLink: The AX-HYKIA1-SWC retains your vehicle's factory onboard BlueLink telematics and infotainment system (if equipped).
- Steering Wheel Controls: The Axxess Integrate AX-HYKIA1-SWC offers built-in SWC letting you retain your vehicle's factory steering wheel controls (no additional adapter required). Your aftermarket radio must be steering wheel control ready.
- Factory Aux: The AX-HYKIA1-SWC allows you to keep the vehicle's factory Aux input by using your aftermarket head unit's rear-panel Aux input.
- RAP (Retained Accessory Power): The AX-HYKIA1-SWC is compatible with your vehicle's RAP (Retained Accessory Power) feature, which keeps the radio on until on of the doors is opened.
- Factory USB (Non-Nav): The AX-HYKIA1-SWC can retain the factory USB port on non-navigation model vehicles. The 22-pin interface harness includes a male USB connector (Type-A, 2.0) that plugs into the aftermarket radio's USB input.
Note: The two included composite video harnesses will not be used.
Outputs: The Axxess Integrate AX-HYKIA1-SWC provides a 12V/10A accessory output and navigation outputs to make installation easier and less time consuming.
- 12V/10A Accessory Output: Since there is no 12V accessory wire in the vehicle's factory harness, the AX-HYKIA1-SWC is designed to provide a 12V/10A switched accessory output to your new aftermarket stereo, preventing you from having to run an accessory wire to the fuse box or underneath the steering column.
- Navigation Outputs: The Axxess Integrate AX-HYKIA1-SWC provides navigation outputs (VSS, Parking Brake, and Reverse) to help ease the installation process of an aftermarket navigation stereo.

Will this work on Australian cars (Kia Optima 2013)?

Our product catalog is verified and researched for US versions of vehicles. We cannot verify or guarantee compatibility with any foreign ( non- US) models of vehicles. The manufacturers may have more insight on this.

Q
Well the factory back up camera will work if I purchase AX-HYKIA1-SWC harness for my 2015 Kia Optima exl with no Navi with infinity sound system or is there an additional harness to order?
[ Chico Apr 27, 2019 ]

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

Q
does metra/ axxess sell an accompanying interface to retain the backup camera as well (2014 Kia Sportage SX w/ OEM amplified Infinity audio and navigation)?
[ Aaron Jan 18, 2019 ]

I ran into this too on my 15 Optima Turbo. Kia's wiring of its backup camera is proprietary and you have to run a yellow video cable and power/ground. It takes 2 hours at Crutchfield to install a new, HD camera that I bought from Crutchfield. Until I am satisfied, I call Abby, who IMO the BEST CSR at Crutchfield.
[ Christopher Aug 07, 2020 ]

Sorry, no. We do not have an a adapter/module for retaining the factory backup camera in your Sportage when an aftermarket stereo is installed.

Q
Will this retain the A/C controls and display on aftermarket nav system (2013 Genesis Coup with Nav)?
[ e Oct 05, 2018 ]

A
sorry I can't help you with that specific model of car as I had a Sonata Limited 2011 without the Navigation.
I will say this though, the instructions provided by Crutchfield and the interface manufacturers AXXESS made it very easy for me to wire my system an install it.
[ Jonathan Oct 13, 2018 ]
A
I had it installed today and unfortunately it did not. NoI can't see my AC temps or navigation, at least not on the system I chose. Steering wheel controls work but I think that is a different cable. Hope this helps!
[ Tracey Oct 06, 2018 ]
A
It did not effect the ac control on my Sonata, but I did have issues with the steering wheel controls.
