I have to agree with target. I own a 2005 Tucson LX with the factory 6CD changer and "subwoofer". While it is definitely not "audiophile" quality, it more than satisfies my needs and I have no need or desire to swap it out. Could Hyundai have done better? Sure, but at what cost?

I said that most OEM radios/speakers are cheap of basic quality...the least for the money...but you had an Infinity which is commonly known as a "premium" brand. So, although it may have been a factory radio it probably wasn't the base radio. You may have had it included in an upgrade package or paid extra in some way to get it. I never said that factory radios are all poor or of minimum quality. I'm sure the factory radio in a Merc. or BMW or Porche or Lexus is awesome but they don't cost $20 grand either. It has always been a fact that manufacturers cheap out where and when possible and the sound system is a place where 90% of the buyers are satisfied with a basic radio.

Your right about the Infinity stereo being part of a premium sound package on the Dodge but that doesn't explain why the stereo in my Sonata GLS is so much better sounding than the one in my Tucson (GLS). Yes, SOME manufacturers cheap out on basic radios. Hyundai didn't in the Sonata but did in the Tucson. Ok, Ok, I'm making a mountain of a mole hill here with this stereo stuff. I'll stop. Overall, I've found the Tucson to be of good quality. I do feel bad for flytedy. Obviously he got a bad unit. You really should cut your losses and trade it in.

Yeah thats the solution....everyone who has a problem with the vehicle, just go trade it in and take a massive loss. That makes no sense. A Wal-mart special would provide better static-free sound than the Hyundai basic radio. Could Hyundai done better, yep, but they didn't. They don't design noise and static into radios, they design them out, and when they don't, it has everything to do with poor quality design and nothing to do with "premium sound". Almost everyone here understands that and they're complaining of noise on the radio and not "why doesn't my basic car radio sound like a $900 set-up. Having the skid plate and vents installed backwards is nit pic? There's a reason why the plate is there and why the vents are there, and why the should be installed correctly, the Cat creates tons of heat. Maybe you should re-install your plate backwards like mine was if its not such a big deal. My guess is that you won't because you know I'm right and Hyundai was wrong and its potentially unsafe. If you have any valid technical reasons to prove me wrong, please do so, otherwise you post only to blindly defend Hyundai on issues where they are undefendable.
