I haven't dealt with the factory nav/dvd players in the Azera. I know with aftermarket units it can be done. I would think that it could be done with an OEM unit, it's a matter of finding the wire that you would need to "short" to make the unit think the car is in park. However, with aftermarket units, they have the ability to operate in dual zones...meaning the unit in the dash won't allow you to see the movie playing, but the monitors in the back will get to view.
 
It has been said...anything is possible, question is...how far are you willing to go to make it happen. You would have to find someone that knows how to do it and do it on the side. No reputable shop will do it because they don't want that on their hands should an accident take place, then the owner of the car sues them.

2007 Azera - 30,000 mile service by rance2

About to have 30,000 mile service. Dealer service offers the "minimum" recommended at $385 and "superior" at $465. Any advice/experience with these choices will be appreciated.

Nope. The lady who booked my appointment rattled off a number of additional services, e.g. lube door hinges, engine additive and other stuff I didn't make a note of. Starts to sound like an upsell with minimum value to enhancing the performance/durability of the car ... but I remain open to other comments.

Doesn't sound worth it to me. From what I've read, one should be suspect of the value of "additives" & "flushes." Some may even hurt your vehicle and can void warrantees. Be careful to distinguish between the dealer's "service pack" and what's in fact required by the manufacturer to maintain warranty. Ask the dealer to point out where, specifically in the owner's manual, the service they want you to buy is expressly required by the manufacturer to maintain the warranty. Eric

Definitely sounds like an upsell. I hate this about dealerships, they always seem to be looking to cheat the customer.
 
Tell them that you ONLY want what is recommended by Hyundai be done. No 'flushing' or 'additives' BS. Get quotes from other dealerships Infact, Hyundai SPECIFICALLY tells you not to get some of these bogus flushing or additives & you'd risk warranty being voided if something untoward happens. Why would you believe the dealer over the manufacturer (you know, the people who designed, engineered & built the damn car)??
 
Also, I'm sure that they would have quoted like $50 for Cabin Air Filter replacement & some $60 for Air Filter change. Buy these two OEM Hyundai parts from the parts department & change them yourself. These parts aren't all that expensive & are very very very easy to change. (You don't need any tools or even need to get your hands dirty. The user manual has step-by-step instructions with pictures. It's easier than even putting gas in your car!!). Takes 5 minutes max.
 
Why can't dealership service departments be honest? Do they always have to be so deceitful?? Do the manufacturer recommended service & stop trying to BS about upsell.
 
Is there something wrong about earning a honest day's work & not cheating people?? (Sorry, I get a little irritated when I hear stories about people getting screwed at dealerships)

Wow...that's crazy. I know my dealer hates me, I never take it in for the extra stuff they advertise. The only thing I take mine to the dealer for is to get the transmission & radiator flushed & filled. Everything else, I take care of myself. When I hit 100k miles, I'll go buy my own spark plugs and have them put them in for me. I did this with my Sonata, and the dealer wanted to charge me $13/plug for the champion plugs that I paid $2.75/plug for.
 
In my opinion, go with the cheaper option as it will take care of everything that needs to be taken care of. With what gasolines have in them these days...you don't need any engine additives, I've driven my Azera for over 77k miles and the door hinges haven't been lubed yet with no squeaks or anything.
 
Like Wobbly said...you can get an oil filter for under $10 and the cabin filter is around $20...from the dealer. RockAuto.com sells the cabin filter for $10, and it's VERY easy to change out, as is changing the oil.

Amen...Had plugs changed on my Santa Fe and it was close to $400..Platinum plugs for $16 each...labor unreal...they had to remove the intake plenum to change
the plugs.....Cabin air filter on the Azera...go to Wally World and get a disposable AC filter for a home unit....cut it to fit the Azzy....Usually less than $5 and you have enough left over or about 2 additional filters....
Check the maintaince schedule (little folder with mileage and months of service) and you will get a good idea of what is required....

I guess I was lucky...I got them changed when I had the timing belt replaced, so all I had to do was pay for the plugs and they did it while they were in doing the timing belt.
 
I actually did what you described with the cabin filter just recently. I'm embarassed to admit that this was the first time I changed my cabin filter...simply because I didn't know how until seeing the posts on how to do it. Then I simply got lazy until I started getting a musty odor every time the a/c was turned on.

Much appreciate you all taking the time to chime in on this. You've confirmed my concerns and the dealer will be instructed to do only what the manufacturer recommends.
