The Hyundai i10 Mk1 was introduced to the UK market in April 2008 as a compact city car designed to replace the Hyundai Atos. Built in India, it quickly gained popularity for its affordability, practicality, and low running costs. A facelifted version arrived in early 2011. Production of the Mk1 continued until mid-2014, when it was succeeded by the all-new Mk2 i10.

The i10 Mk1 actually had 3 different head units in its time, which were available in either black or silver to match the dashboard. Although all 3 had different panel designs, all three had the same wiring and connections.
