How about this thought ..... check the power source for the antenna booster that's used for the rear window antenna. By replacing the OEM radio you could have lost the power connection for that booster.................. that would cause poor reception on AM & FM

THAT...is a good thought and highly possible. Considering Scosche took forever to get the wiring harness wired correctly to power the the OEM amp.

I have no tint at all. I did my HU installation the barbarian way - I simply cut the wires and soldered what I needed and did not notice PIN 23 where you can see is the power for the booster:
Only thing that puzzles me is why there is a separate pin for this when the REM could have been used instead? Is the B+ 12v? I think it is most probably 5v (just like the set top box or the satellite radio) but then in the specifications there's nothing mentioned about a tuner booster!? I have a converter for 5v (cigarette type for 3$) which supplies power for the hard drive and I can use it to power also the booster
I'll check the previous posts as I remember some time ago there was a big discussion on the booster thing. If anyone can shed some light I will be more than grateful!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...the old chop it up method. Yeah, I used to do that when I first started putting radios in cars. Boy...talk about headaches. With today's systems, harnesses are almost mandatory!
Good luck and let us know what you find out.

Called Hyundai customer service, told them about my 08 Azera not having a cover in trunk to cover the speakers on May 1, today got the call from the dealer to come in and have the cover installed. Couldn't ask for quicker service. While at the dealer, looked in the trunk of another brand new 08 Azera, again no cover, must be a assembly line screw up.

Nope, it isn't an assembly-line screw-up, but rather a stupid penny-pinching exercise. Hyundai's flagship Genesis also doesn't have a cover for speaker in the trunk. The fact that they're installing one for you is just a goodwill exercise. Atleast, they're trying to keep customers happy.
I have cover on my 07 & my Azzy is still the best car for money I paid.

Rear speaker cover installed today, sure makes the trunk look more like a luxury car trunk and not that unfinished look. While at the dealer checked out three Genesis and none had the speaker cover installed, if I pay 36K for a car I'd expect it to be complete, shame on Hyundai trying to save $200 on a 36K sale.

As an engineer, I deal with issues like this all day, every day. Engineer says a part that costs $5 but improves efficiency & reliability for a 30k product which sells 50k units a year.
The MBA comes swaggering in wearing a snazzy suit & says that if they don't install that part, they would save about 5x50k=250k a year, while forgetting the reliability consequences of not including that part.
Guess who wins? Let me give you a hint: not the Engineer.

Funny thing is...to really "see" it, you have to get down on your knees and look up into the trunk. Honestly, most of the time...it's not even something you really look at. I think that's what Hyundai was thinking when they decided to exclude it.
