In the Hyundai I20 (like in many modern cars), the original gear knob is integrated with the airbag system, so removing it without precautions can trigger an airbag error, as the control unit interprets the disconnection as a fault. To avoid this, disconnect the battery before starting, and do not turn on the car during installation.

We can find the Sparco gear knob from the video, for example, on Amazon with the code B01MRZNA64 at a price of 24.76 euros, with free delivery. Remove the old gear knob by pulling firmly, then disconnect the electrical connector that connects the knob to the airbag; in many cases, it is necessary to install an adapter to fit the Sparco gear knob properly, as shown in the video: Push it in firmly, tighten the locking screw with a socket wrench, connect the airbag connector, and reconnect the battery.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
