#41 of 51 Reception issues by bullseye98 Sep 17, 2006 (5:03 pm)
Replying to: fk322 (Jun 20, 2006 9:26 pm) Hi guys,   I just bought my '06 Tucson a few weeks ago. It's been great so far. My only complaint is the stereo, which goes to a deep, bone-shaking hum/static when I pass under a bridge, under a gas station canopy, or at a car wash.   I've never run into this problem before, so I'm not sure if this is "normal" for the Tucson or not. At first I thought it might be because the external antenna was missing (was taken while it was on the lot). However, they've since replaced that and the problem persists.   Does anyone have any ideas?   Thanks.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 12, 2006 2:25 pm) The only thing I HATE about my '06 Tuscon is the radio reception. It stinks BIG time... and living in a rural area, it makes me crazy.   Are there any viable options for improving this ?   Thanks   Beth (a car dunce)

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 12, 2006 2:25 pm) Can anyone suggest an aftermarket "direct wire" (as opposed to cigarette lighter adapter) for an auxilliary audio input for an Ipod?
#44 of 51 Possible Source for iPods, etc by tpfilm1 Jul 19, 2007 (12:31 pm)
So... another site had a link to this website about a direct wire interface for Hyundai radios to play iPods (or other mp3s...)   XCarLink MP3   Anyone else have any other ideas or have you used this company?
#45 of 51 iPod Through Cassette by tpfilm1 Jul 19, 2007 (12:35 pm)
Ok... I thought that Cassette players in cars had gone the way of 8-track players... Ok.   Anyway. Once things get sorted out will be getting an SE, 4WD. It has the cassette player. Anyone using the old fashioned cassette player adaptor for iPods? Are you satisfied w/sound? Does the Hyundai's stereo accept it easily? Replies to this message: clayman100 (Jul 29, 2007 9:16 am)

Replying to: tpfilm1 (Jul 19, 2007 12:35 pm) I tried the iriver mobile FM transmitter for the ipod. You plug it into your lighter socket, tune to an empty FM station, hook the ipod to it. It worked Ok but being in a big city, Philly, it tended to fade slightly in and out. I'm sure if you are in the country it will work fine.   Only paid $20.00 for two on Woot.com so not worried about it. Will use when I travel to Layton NJ for crafts camp.
#47 of 51 Re: Using the random play on the 6 CD changer [vac4] by davedtw Sep 12, 2008 (9:10 am)
Replying to: vac4 (Jun 13, 2006 2:38 pm) Hi. Has anyone come up w/ an answer to this question? I just bought an '05 Tucson and had the same question. I can listen to random songs from a single cd, but don't seem to be able to listen to songs from all cd's randomly.   Also, in relation to another question, I bought a Jensen cassette adapter for my ipop that inserts into the Tucson cassette player. Works fine. Sound is good. The trick is to turn your ipod sound up fairly high, and keep radio dial low, which eliminates any potential hissing sound.
#48 of 51 07 Tucson CD player problem by nkwame35 Sep 12, 2008 (8:05 pm)
Hello all,   I am new to HF and I am glad to finally find a place where I can get advice on my car. I have a 2007 Tucson (V6 automatic transmission). It runs perfectly and I enjoy it very much. However after I took it in for service in June (exactly a year after buying it), I noticed that my CD player is not functioning well. It skips a lot and also is not able to move to the next track and appears to be stuck on the end of the track and keeps repeating like an old record used to do when the needle got stuck. I thought it could be that it is dirty so I bought a good CD player cleaning disc system, but it had no effect. I have read the manual and all it says about CD player problems is to remove the fuse and replace it which will reset it. I have tried that and it did not work.   I am quite frustrated and I wonder if anybody has experienced this problem. I would very much appreciate any guidelines as to how to fix this and also wonder if I am entitled to warranty on the CD player if I have to contact Hyundai or the dealership for a solution or a replacement.   Thank you
#49 of 51 Roling Noise From Front End by petecal Sep 28, 2008 (11:13 am)
I don't know how else to describe the noise from my 2007 Tucson. My son's 2005 Elantra also makes a similar sound.   It doesn't do it all the time but sometimes when we are just driving down the road we'll hear this wearing sound or low pitched whining sound from the front end. Not like the grinding sound from worn pads or the tweet tweet from the "low pad" springs (if these vehicles have them).   It may be associated with the pads because if you touch the brake peddle the sound stops; take your foot off the brake and it comes back. We pulled the front wheels from both vehicles and the brake pads are fine.   Also, if we swerve left and right the sound stops while the wheels are turned but returns when they are straight. Really, you can drive down the road rocking the vehicle left and right and as the wheels pass through straight ahead the sound happens then disappears when the wheels are off straight ahead.   Any ideas?   Pete
#50 of 51 Brand New 2008 Hyundai Tuscon Radio Died by wonderdog111 Dec 27, 2008 (6:13 pm)
I have 790 miles on my new 2008 Hyundai Tuscon. The car has a few issues like Torque Steer where when you accelerate the car pulls to the right. Also, the rear suspension clunks over bumps. However, the consensus on the internet from test drives confirms that these are common issues.   However, today the radio/MP3/CD/XM stoppped working totally. When you press the power button, a clicking noise is heard in each speaker in a sequential pattern then it repeats itself. This is a standard equipment radio. From what I hear, many auto companies merely buy their radios from well known radio manufacturers. When I called the dealer today the service appointment taker stated that this radio is actually made by Hyundai which I'm sure is not true. Apparently there are other radio failures in the Hyundai Tuscon and the dealer will be replacing mine under warranty. Internet research reveals that Hyundai buys their radios in bulk from companies like Clarion and pays them $50-60 per radio and buys them 100,000 units at a time. This is probably true since I've never had a radio that has failed when the vehicle is only one month old. Anyone out there with a similar issue?
