Can anyone tell me exactly what info the '09 will display? The reason I'm asking is that I can buy an '09 radio for <$100 so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to change it out. My '07 radio display fares poorly against the add-on XM radio I had or even the built-in XM in my brother-in-law's VW Jetta.

I have a 2007 Azera Limited and having no luck getting answers to iPod hook up. Just back from recommended audio shop and they could find no cable in their resource materials. Do you know if external tuner is on 2007? Dealer no help. Thanks.

I just don't believe there's no way to get iPod integration into the 2009's with Nav.
There HAS to be a way. The problem is, the after market people don't give any priority to Hyundai IMO.
 
When folks are ripping things out/changing things - PLEASE take/post pics of these things.

The only way I can think of that would still give good sound is to go with a wired FM modulator...

If you wanna know how to get the OEM head unit out, I created a guide that would assist you in getting to it. To be honest, it's really pretty easy and if you have about 30 mins, anyone can do it with a little patience.

If you need a guide with some images to assist you, here's the guide from Metra's website that comes with the dash kit you can order...

THIS ISN'T A KNOCK OR CRITICISM. It's just my disappointment.
 
With all due respect allmet33, the installed cd player looks hideous. I am sure it works well. But, it doesn't flow. Dang it. That looks cheap, too. It's a bad HGTV after effects. It's very retro. Sorry. I am sure this sounds very disrespectful.
 
Couldn't you find a better audio unit that flowed with the angle of center stack? I don't think it offers better functionality than the standard Infinity unit that comes with Limited. It doesn't have aux, usb port, or anything.
 
I know I haven't been able to, unfortunately. All after-market installation would look like that. I wish there was better design options...
 
Nonetheless, you did it, so it's more than what I could have done. So, this isn't a knock or criticism. It's like taking out a cancer but left a person with bad disfigurement or a giant scar.
 
Very nice wheel, though. Again, you did more than what I could have done. So, it's something. I just wished that you had found better solution.. Maybe, there isn't a better solution... Also, your contribution to this forum is amazing. Thank you for that.
 
I think after reading many posts here, Azera's audio expandability is limited. I think it's time for new Azera to have better technical audio solution.

rk2469...
 
I'm sorry that YOU'RE disappointed, however...it's MY car and stereo system, so I'm not even worried about that as I thoroughly enjoy it myself. You are entitled to your opinion.
 
As far as finding a unit that "flows" with the angle of the dash, one doesn't exist that isn't OEM. Considering I have the tan interior, I didn't feel a black unit would look right in there. Oh...there's a unit that can be purchased Korean Auto Imports that has a built in screen in that location and you can install your own single din unit where the cubby hole is, but I'm not paying $850 just to be able to do that. For that money, I can have a complete system.
 
As far as cheap...hardly, it's one of the better units that Pioneer has made. Maybe you should look up all the features it offers as well as the expandability too. As far as increased functionality over the OEM unit...surely you jest!!! Granted, I can't load 6 CD's at one time (you can only listen to one at a time), but I have more control over my music, as well as shaping the sound to suite my tastes. I can also add satellite radio with no problem, I have an aux input for anything I may want to add AND the ability to control my aftermarket subwoofer as well. Oh yeah, I did lose my steering wheel control, but I have a remote...big deal. I can probably find the adapter that would allow me to utilize my steering wheel controls if I really wanted to.
 
I am actually going to be pulling that unit out and installing a double din DVD unit, which I'm sure will look better to you. Then again, maybe not since you seem to like the OEM look. Here's an Azera with a double din multi-media unit in the dash...
See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com
 
The one thing that makes it easy in this is that the dash is black, so pretty much anything you put in will flow.
 
You're right, I did it because it's what I wanted. I looked at what was available at the time and made the choice based on what suited my needs and wants. Now, the market is flooded with so many options your head will spin when you go searching. Everything isn't for everyone and I don't expect to get everyone's approval when they look at what I've done with my Azera. In the end, it's what I'm happy with that matters.
 
Maybe one day you'll get the nerve up to do something that you will end up enjoying.
 
Happy Easter!

I've been looking into installing a Pionner Nav unit that has MSN traffic feature. I really like this car and there is nothing wrong with this car. I have a new car itch right now. I have been thinking either the Genesis, G8, or FX 35. But I have a perfectly good car.
 
That Korean import unit doesn't do the gps nav. So, it's no better since it offers no enhanced functionality, thus no substance. oh. and the G8 doesn't have gps nav either. Isn't that stupid, too.
 
I think a gps nav unit with the mp3/wmv like capabilities with usb and/or compact/sd/xd flash drive compatible unit would be really cool.

I feel you, my car is perfectly fine as well, but the Genesis is calling me!!! LOL
 
You're absolutely right, the unit that Korean Auto sells is really only good for having a screen in your dash to either watch movies/tv or have a back-up camera. GPS isn't an option, so to be quite honest...it's a total waste of money.
 
Yes...that is why I'm upgrading to the new Pioneer unit I came across. Take a look and you might see why I like it so much. I don't need a nav unit as I have a phone with built in nav feature that works GREAT!
 
Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD
 
When I did my initial install, units with USB connectivity weren't available. However, it is able to play CD's loaded with mp3, wma or aac files. Not to mention, the sound output of an aftermarket unit is much better than what you'll get with the OEM unit.
