#293 of 302 Re: audio upgrade [joel21] by qs84 Sep 12, 2009 (7:49 am)
Replying to: joel21 (Aug 03, 2007 4:09 am) I'm looking for suggestions for my 07 Sonata with aftermarket tints that the dealers keep blaming my after market tint for the degrading reception of the AM signal. I drive in Chicagoland and have never had a problem, my other vehicles with aftermarket tint have gotten the same signals hundreds of miles away (we are talking WBBM news radio 780 AM with a very strong signal). All the connections were checked by dealer twice, the funny thing is that I got the tint with a few hundred miles, and now with each month and additional miles the problem seems to be getting worst (now over 30k miles). Any suggestions for a moderately priced solution (unfortunately I listen to Am radio more than FM or CD's). I considering going to a store like Best Buy and having an inexpensive system installed as a replacement (the speakers in my I-4 could stand some improvement also). Thanks.

Replying to: qs84 (Sep 12, 2009 7:49 am) It depends on what kind of tint is used. If the tint is from dying the plastic, there is no effect whatsoever on radio reception. If the tint is from a vacuum deposited metallic (very) thin film then there can be a substantial effect on FM, but unless the metal film is somehow grounded to the car body I would expect some, but not serious degredation. It is possible or even likely that the installer does not know what he sold.You may be able contact the manufacturer to find out. One certain clue is that if the film looks reflective from the outside it is metallic, but all metallic films may not be reflective.   Dealers are, of course predisposed to blame something else for any problem if they can. If you can't budge them you may have to do your own research by plugging in a temporary radio to eliminate that possibility, then replacing the car antenna with a temporary whip. If that fixes the problem, then it is somewhere in the car antenna If you connect the temporary whip at the radio, you check the cable. A car audio shop should be able to do these tests for a lot less than buying a cheap radio.   The other solution is to tell the dealer to replace the rear tint with whatever he sells, If that does not fix the problem, and your radio works less well than those of other cars the dealer owns, then the ball is firmly in his court, and there should be no charge for the tint replacement.
#295 of 302 USB - Song Breaks by russman09 Oct 06, 2009 (6:45 pm)
I have owned an '09 Sonata for about 2 months now. I love the USB input. I have an 8 gig thumb drive that is loaded with WMA format tunes. Is there any way to eliminate the breaks between songs when listening to all of the songs on a continuous album?
#296 of 302 What are the ratings on stock speakers?? by sonataaplin3 Oct 24, 2009 (9:33 pm)
Does anyone know RMS rating on the 08' stock speakers? Replies to this message: swimoldbum (Nov 07, 2009 3:58 pm)

Replying to: kimweigel (Dec 16, 2007 12:39 pm) Great description. I am about to try replacing the factory speakers in my 2008 Sonata and this is very helpful. I have a few questions - For the front, where did you mount the crossover? Also how deep was the rear speaker? Have you been happy with the Infinities? Thanks, John

Replying to: sonataaplin3 (Oct 24, 2009 9:33 pm) I just looked at the back stock speakers for my 2008 Sonata and they just said they were 20 Watts - not sure if that is RMS or peak.
#299 of 302 ipod shufle by vitaminjnut Nov 30, 2009 (10:53 am)
I can't seem to get this device to work using the Apple supplied cord. It only plays 6 songs of 250. Is is something to do with the formatting of the songs? They are all in MPEG-4 format currently from what I can tell. thanks for any assistance in advance Replies to this message: newowner10 (Nov 30, 2009 11:04 am) vitaminjnut (Nov 30, 2009 7:24 pm)

Replying to: vitaminjnut (Nov 30, 2009 10:53 am) Why are you not using the Hyundai cord? Replies to this message: vitaminjnut (Nov 30, 2009 7:24 pm)
#301 of 302 Volume Control by russman09 Nov 30, 2009 (12:04 pm)
I have a 2009 Sonata with stock stereo. Pretty good sound quality. My biggest complaint is the volume control. It looks like it goes up to 50 or so, but I rarely have it over 10. 15 is about as high as it will go without distorting the sound. Is there any way to change the volume control to make it a little more sensitive; i.e. set what is currently 15 now at 40.

Replying to: newowner10 (Nov 30, 2009 11:04 am) well for one I don't have it and for two apparently the cord doesnt work for the shuffle. Still doesn't help me figure out how to use the shuffle
