This is what I wrote over in Edmunds Answers in case you missed it:
 
This is a real long shot, but it's free. Many people have had success in getting "stuck" CD players to work by disconnecting the negative battery cable for a few minutes. The theory is that you can reboot or reset the unit this way. May be worth a try for your tape deck as well.
 
You'll lose your radio security code doing this (if you have one), so make sure you know what the code is. You'll also lose any adaptive settings so your Elantra may feel like it's driving a bit differently for a few miles or so until it relearns how you drive.

2007 Elantra GLS - No Go Audio by beacon

We bought our Elantra GLS last June of 2007 and we like the car. But not yet a year old and the radio/cd/xm are dead. Possibly the fuse has blown. Couple of our friends told us before we looked into the Hyundai's that they have a consistent problem with fuses.
I tried to change the fuse but found it difficult to remove the fuse w/my fat little fingers. Any suggestion on how I can do this myself???

XM preset scanning issue - Doesn't work right by fargond

I just purchased an 08 Elantra SE with factory XM.
 
I have programmed stations into the first 2 banks of presets (6 in XM1, 6 in XM2).
 
I normally leave it on bank 1 and then use the steering wheel preset Up/Down control to switch between the individual stations.
 
Most of the time, when I use it, it properly moves between the presets.
 
However, sometimes, when I hit up or down (say I'm on preset 4 and press up), it goes back to preset 1 instead of the right preset (in this example, 5).
 
I have narrowed it down for sure to doing this IF I have hit the button when the info screen is showing "Category" instead of the station number/song title/artist.
 
Is this by design? If so it doesn't make sense. Does it do this on anyone elses?
 
Also, there have been 2 times where I have gotten in the car and it's been back on the first channel, the demo one, that is not in any of my presets on that bank. I haven't figured out why this is occuring either. Is it a loss of signal from XM due to my garage causing it?

Yes it is possible, however you will need to get a converter that allows rca connections to the stock stereo as they do not come with pre amp rca connections. I have 2 subwoofers and two amps in my 07 elantra, but have after market radio. You can get the converter at any store that sells car audio equipment. It will not void the warranty with the subwoofer, unless they can prove that the subwoofer or any other aftermaket audio installed caused the problem. For example, the electrical system malfunctioning because of improper installation or use.

Here is a description of what one guy did to install a subwoofer. (You may have to register with that forum before it will let you see the thread.)

iPod on Elantra GLS 2004 by kidroach
Sep 28, 2008 (11:33 am)

I'm trying to install an iPod on my car but I can't seem to find any aux input on the radio (I'm pretty sure the radio is original from the factory).
 
Anyone has had this problem and got a solution for it? Right now, the only thing that comes to my mind is change the radio to something else aftermarket. Then again, that would be a hassle to install and I'd throwing away the current radio (I'm not gonna use it and I highly doubt if anyone would buy it?)
 
So, anyone has a good solution on how to install an iPod on Elantra?
 
Also, I've read that there's Aux Inputs on the later models of Elantra. Mine is the 2004 GLS model.

One easy way is to get one of those little wireless transmitters that sends your iPod or MP3 signal over FM radio. They start around $20. It doesn't work real well in real big cities with crowded FM bands, but my oldest son uses one on an old 626 and I use it to pipe a portable DVD player's sound through the stereo system on our minivan on long trips and it works pretty well.
 
Or get a new one. The Elantra has a standard slot for the radio, so installing a new unit would not be difficult. I've seen units with aux inputs starting under $100 at BestBuy et. al.
