What type of information are you looking for? You do know that the radio portion of the sound system is not made by Infinity/Harmon Kadon...only the amp and the speakers.
 
However, I'm surprised you got such a hard time. When I contacted them for information regarding the amp and the speakers...they gave me everything I asked for.
 
So, if it's about the amp and speakers, I can help you. If it's concerning the radio...sorry, they told you correct that it's a Hyundai part unless you can find out who manufactured it for Hyundai.
 
Good luck!

RE 41
The radio was manufactured for Hyundai by Harman-Becker oem division, according to the person I contacted.
I am attempting to learn why the 07 steering wheel remote allows more features than the 06 even after changing the switch.
If it is a software change I assume that the 06 can be modified to the 07 software.
The only way that one can tell is to get some specifications or schematics for both year audio systems.
No one at Hyundai seems to be able or willing to lead me to a source for this information.

Here is an excerpt out of an email directly from the good people at Harmon:
 
"On Your factory system:
The OEM division produces only the upgraded amplifier and speakers for your factory system. The source unit is produced by another company. To this end, your dealership will be your only avenue for obtaining information on this unit as we do not have any information on these products."
 
I'm trying to tell you, I spoke with the folks AT the OEM department of Harman Becker and this is what THEY stated. They only produced the amplifier and the speakers. Since that makes up the majority of the sound system, Hyundai can call it an Infinity sound system.
 
I say all this to say that I'm pretty sure if the radio was made by them, they would provide what you're asking. I asked them to provide me information pertaining to the radio, amp and speakers. Mr. Bailey said that the radio isn't made by them so they couldn't tell me anything about it. However, he happily provided me with the information on the amp (power ratings, impedences and frequency cut offs) as well as the speakers (which would be a good replacment speaker). So I'm sure if it was their radio, they would claim it.
 
The question you need to be asking is...who is making the source unit (radio) for Hyundai? The good folks at Harman Becker have said that it's not them!

RE 43
Apparantly we contacted three different people at the same company who are providing different information.
My contacts were James Pagano and Cherie Curry of the Harmon Consumer Group.
If your contact is correct, then someone is manufacturing the unit. How do we find out who that manufacturer is?
Maybe the C.I.A.

My initial correspondence went to Ed Carter / Web Support Specialist - JBL, Infinity, Harman Kardon who forwarded it to Michael Gill / Product Marketing Support - Asian Accounts
 
He informed me that the amp and speakers were made by their OEM department and he forwarded my email to Jeff Bailey (a technician from my assumption) . Jeff Bailey was the guy I spoke with and he gave me all the information I asked for.
 
Someone at Hyundai would have to tell you who they have manufacturing their radios.

When I removed the Infinity stereo from my 2007 Sonata Limited Ultimate to install my bluetooth kit, the radio is manufactured by Visteon. Don't know if the Azera is the same but could give you a solid lead.

When I pull my Azera radio out this weekend, I'll take a look to see who the manufacturer may be.

Makes sensse: Visteon is owned by FoMoCo (Ford) and makes radio gear (and other parts) for Nissan and Hyundai.

RE: 47
Have you been able to determine who the manufacturer of the Azera radio head is?

No...I'm awaiting my dash kit to arrive. I was hoping it would have been here by the weekend, but it didn't arrive. So...I should have it some time this week. For sure...by this weekend, I'll be able to tell you.
 
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
