Hi, I bought a music system which plays mp3 cds and has audio in for ipods etc. I am able to take out the old music system and put the new one in and ablet ocnnect the cable and I can play the music. however the new bracket won't go in the existing space. Hence the new music system does not fit in nicely and remains loose. can I remove the front dash board to remove the existing bracket to put the new bracket in. Can I do this on my own or do I need to take the car to a garage ? Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks in advance, Devg

a standard double din or single din aftermarket stereo units will fit in the dash of the 07 santa fe with no modifactions to the vehicle. go to metraonline.com and your will see a mounting kit and wiring harness made for this vehicle. just had a pioneer avic-d3 navigation deck installed and it took only an hour and looks like a factory unit with this kit. you can even get the steering wheel controls to work with an adaptor from pac.com |

Hi, I'm new here. I've checked the RAV4, test drove CR-V and Outlander and decided on the Outlander as it's better than the CR-V and RAV4. Seen a Santa Fe and decided to test drive it before getting any SUV so I won't have buyers remorse. I was amazed with the interior quality and looks of the Santa Fe Limited as well as its comfortable ride. I have some questions with the Santa Fe Limited's audio before deciding to get it. I know that it doesn't have a connection for Ipod and CD changer, but does it have a speed sensing volume control? Is the quality really good even on higher volume on the standard Limited audio? Is the optional 6 disc 605 watts Infinity audio worth the extra $3,500 with the power seats, sunroof and rear DVD?

Replying to: pongs (Apr 24, 2007 7:08 am) It is considered the lowest radio in the series. It does have a single disk cd/mp3 player. I have a load of music in my Ipod ( 5500 songs ) and was disappointed I could not use them through the Ipod directly, without using an aftermarket fm transmitter thingie. But a huge plus is the ability to put 100+ mp3 songs on a cd and play them in the radio. Of course Itunes rips songs into mp4 format by default, but there is an easy fix for that and could be discussed in another thread. Anyway, I got my Santa Fe recently after selling my Toyota 4Runner. I had a nice aftermarket radio in my other vehicle and was worried about the quality on the new one. To be honest, the interior of the Santa Fe is very quiet on the road. I know people complain a little about road noise due to the lower profile tires, but compared to my 4Runner, it is very very quiet. So the radio sounds nice with no noise to interfere. The Limiteds come with higher radio options and the Infinity system seems to be a very nice setup. I have not heard it myself, but did notice the extra speakers ( including one in the middle of the top dash ). I guess the only way to see is bring your favorite cd and listen while on a test drive. One note about the Infinity radio, I have read a few people complaining about a buzz on radio. It is possibly due to the external amp of the radio. Supposedly Hyundai has aknowladged this and is fixing it. Don't let that news though turn you against the Hyundais though. I am finding my new Santa Fe to be excellent in quality, as so many people here say the same. Trading into one from my Toyota ( I swore I would only buy reliable Toyotas ) I am very happy.

Replying to: pongs (Apr 24, 2007 7:08 am) I have the Santa Fe Limited with the standard radio and am favorably impressed with this radio. It's sound quality is better than most standard radios I've had in the past and it does a great job with mp3 CDs. I really like the feature where you can turn the "tuning" knob while you are listening to a tract and the display will rapidly cycle through the other tracts on the CD. Find the song you want then press in and it will play that song. Very convenient and intuitive. The display is also large and easy to read. The radio reception is also best I have experienced in any car. The antennas they use must be efficient because I can clearly receive stations on this radio that I cannot on my other automotive radios. I don't have the XM radio on mine, but I'm not sure I'd use it anyway. All the vehicles you're looking at are great vehicles. I find the Santa Fe was one of the best purchase decisions I've made. My wife is getting tired of my always saying how much I love it  2007 Santa Fe AWD Limited with Premium and Touring packages Dark Cherry Red with beige leather interior

Replying to: davesuv (Apr 26, 2007 1:06 pm) Until reading your posts, I was convinced that it was a problem with all of the radios of this sort (since I've had the same problems on two now). I was lead to this belief since these discs played fine in my computer, in my Ford F-150, in the Eclipse that I traded in for the Santa Fe, and in the 07 Sonata that was given to me as a loaner when they were replacing the radio in my Santa Fe. So now, its one of two things, two bad radios - or - something I'm doing when I record my MP3's to disc that the Santa Fe radio just doesn't like. Can you fill me in on what programs, processes, discs, etc. you are using to record your MP3's? |
