are you referring to electrical noise? like through the sound system?

The best method to upgrade the center system I think is replace it by a sonata 9th's head unit or kia 2019 k5 premium's . But the key is we cannot get the long FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE. Our car screen and head unit are separated. So it maybe very difficult.

Yes, it is. Because of the AMP.

yeah i dont have any noise but i completely replaced everything.

Just bought a 2013 2.0 premium and am looking to eventually install an aftermarket head unit because apple carplay is just wayyyy too nice. So, after reading through this thread I understand that there are a two options in order to do an aftermarket head unit and retain climate control display:
1. do an aftermarket head unit (AHU) and use the smaller blue non-touch screen in the upper portion to purely show climate control
2. do an AHU but use a climate control capable AHU and the maestro RR idatalink connector? Then probably just use the upper portion for a small tablet connected to OBDII

Correct.
You can choose one of them, or you can combine both, and use both blue screen and idatalink for climate control output, then you will be able to see the climate in two places.
iDatalink-powered climate control does not show outside temperature, when you turn on the AC, but it shows it when you turn off the AC, and blue screen will show both. I plan to request idatalink folks to fix this soon, but not asked them yet.

iDatalink also can connect to OBDII and show different info like some gauges and TPMS (on compatible vehicles, on 2016 Ultimate TPMS works well, can't say for 2013).

I prefer the ahu but workshop 12 has a cool tablet setup. The tablet i got is a perfect fit. Its a hyundai hytab. Fits perfect in nav bezel above my pioneer ahu.

iDatalink is not a requirement, but it brings extra features like showing climate controls on head unit, syncing current music info and clock from head unit to external (blue) screen.
Without iDatalink connection, you can get same as on the photo in step 4 in the first post (only bottom side of blue screen will work)
