Enhance Your Hyundai Porter with OEM Cruise Control and Audio Buttons
The Hyundai Porter is a workhorse, often used for long hours and extensive driving. This can lead to significant driver fatigue, especially on highways where maintaining a constant speed requires continuous pedal input. To combat this, retrofitting an OEM cruise control system is a highly recommended upgrade. Cruise control allows the vehicle to automatically maintain a set speed, freeing the driver from constant pedal adjustments. This not only reduces physical strain but also allows for greater focus on the road, contributing to safer driving. At D.I.A. (today's car), we specialize in using genuine OEM parts to integrate these systems seamlessly, ensuring they function as if they were factory-installed.
Adding Convenience with Steering Wheel Audio Controls
Alongside cruise control, many Porter owners opt to add steering wheel audio buttons. Without these, adjusting volume or changing tracks requires reaching for the center console, a distracting maneuver during driving. By installing genuine OEM audio buttons on the steering wheel, drivers can control their audio system without taking their hands off the wheel or their eyes off the road. This small addition significantly enhances driving comfort and safety. Our technicians ensure that the button feel and responsiveness are identical to factory units, providing a natural and satisfying user experience.
The OEM Options Installation Process
The process begins with the careful removal of the steering wheel cover. Following this, the genuine OEM cruise control lever and audio button modules are precisely fitted. Wiring is meticulously routed and connected according to factory specifications, ensuring full functionality and integration with the vehicle's existing systems. The steering wheel is then reassembled, and all functions are thoroughly tested. This detailed approach guarantees a clean, professional finish that looks and performs like an original factory option. The entire installation typically takes approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Installation process:
- Steering wheel cover removal.
- Installation of genuine OEM cruise control lever and audio button modules.
- Precise wiring and connection according to factory standards.
- Reassembly and comprehensive function testing.
