#69 of 139 2007 Santa Fe iPod connection? by supermalz Jan 04, 2007 (5:21 pm)
Replying to: jnt (Oct 16, 2006 5:33 pm) I'm planning on getting a Santa Fe but was wondering if anyone had come up with a way of connecting an iPod to the factory installed stereo? FM modulation is a last resort, it doesn't work well where I live. I'd prefer a hard wire or some aftermarket solution. Anyone have any suggestions?

#71 of 139 2007 santa fe radio problems~not XM by shewetson Jul 19, 2007 (7:27 pm)
I have one of the first SUV's made for the 2007 year, and I'm having a problem where the sound, base, treble all seem to drop off when the car is moving. It changes volume/quality frequently. I've seen the service bulletin on this, but this is happening constantly and is much more than an occasional thing. It never settles and just keeps on changing all of the time. I'm meeting with Hyundai USA about this next week. Any ideas as to the cause, or solutions? Help!

Replying to: shewetson (Jul 19, 2007 7:27 pm) Modern OEM radios have dynamic Stereo-> Mono ->Stereo changes as signal fade to reduce Stereo noise pop and crackles. In addition, they also have dynamic high audio frequency roll off in similar tough reception conditions (signal fading or just weak signal). The older radios normally favor constant audio volume and high fidelity at at expense of high noise. So it is just a trade off. The old Santa Fe radio was tuned the old way.   Normally, if you live in area with a lot of tall buildings, surrounding mountain ranges, your radio would behave like that: it operates in Low Noise mode. Same for listening to weak FM stations from >50 miles away. As soon as the signal condition improves, the radio will revert back to High Fidelity mode again. Lexus, Toyota started this trend in the 90, so everyone is following now. Try to listen to a AM station on a Lexus vehicle sometimes. Hyundai had a TSB on this issue about a year now to make people aware of this behavior. It is just a matter of tunning: some likes that and some do not.   jt

So jt, is there anything you can do to stop this, disable it? It makes my radio worthless as it is always jumping all around? I've recently read that it's a problem with the antenna system in this car... Replies to this message: jnt (Jul 21, 2007 6:27 pm) ricknj (Jul 28, 2007 3:38 pm)

Replying to: shewetson (Jul 21, 2007 1:30 pm) The switch between Stereo ==> Mono => Stereo is very subtle and different from the antenna problem. This behavior is less noticeable than antenna problem. The Low noise tuning for special FM conditions (weak signal, corrupted signal) is programmed into the radio, so there is little you can do to defeat it. If this is actually what you are hearing, one remedy is to max out the Treble setting   With antenna problem, your radio would lose too much signal and sound very noisy. That has different sound to it. One way to check if you have antenna problem is to tune some FM stations >30 miles away or AM stations >100 miles away. If you have antenna problem, then your radio can barely receive stations. A good modern radio can receive FM stations as far as 50 miles. For AM, it should be 200 miles.   There are times when people add after-market electronics in the vehicle and these things make electrical noises that jams radio. It is like having radio jammers in the car. Typical noise makers are: PC, Inverter, DVD player. Factory installed equipment has to be checked for radio compatibility.   jt Replies to this message: ricknj (Jul 28, 2007 3:38 pm)

Replying to: jnt (Jul 21, 2007 6:27 pm) after sleepless nights i have come to the conclusion this is the only way and clearest way to date to connect aux input or ipod music player by using FMAudiovox FM Modulator (FMM100A)(not a transmitter, runs directly to the antenna claims almost cd quality much better than all fm transmitter) available online or at circuit city ($50 less online in other stores) where they can install it too for less than $50. i have not tried it yet but it'll block fm outside interference by a power switch when turned on. also as an added info to this research you can use this item to boost the bass and protect/power the ipod using BELKIN Auto Kit for iPod w/ Dock Connector (comes in white and black). my honda accord 05 had the direct connect through the xm plug disconnected and replaced, so far LOGJAM where i bought this item for my accord dont have anything yet for Santa Fe's 07. Hope this helps Santa Fe 07 drivers like me. i asked circuit city they said they can install it for me for less than $50 cool. will update on outcome, i will also inquire with dealership if they can install it so warranty might not be affected, my plan is to have the cigarrette lighter converted to an extra 12v because im not a smoker (oncology nurse)for an extra plug the other for my tom tom xl plug then have the belkin power and amp my ipod with a short wire to connect for audio aux input with the use of the AUDIOVOX. wish me luck and i hope i get a lot of thanks for this guys !!!!!! i have an fm tranmitter from belkin as well as a backup if im in another car w/o aux in but direct connect is the best way. more power to this forum.
#76 of 139 FM Modulator installation by np01 Jul 29, 2007 (3:04 am)
I finally broke down and had a wired FM modulator installed yesterday in my AWD Limited with Premium package. I bought an Audiovox FM100a from Circuit City for $50, and took it to Best Buy for installation, since I had found a tech there with an advanced installation certification who was comfortable with soldering and a custom installation. The tech at Best Buy was very accomodating, and charged about $75.   Along with the modulator I brought a stereo mini jack and rocker power switch from Radio Shack, since the Audiovox comes with a bright red toggle switch that might look good on a dune buggy.   The stereo minijack is mounted in the empty space between the two heated-seat switches in the tray at the bottom of the center panel, next to the power outlet.   The rocker switch is installed at the bottom left of the dash, in an open space next to the fog light/panel dimmer/ESC buttons.   All-in-all I'm very pleased with the clean look of the installation, and the sound is very acceptable. There's only a slight high-frequency hum that I doesn't matter, and the volume/sound quality is great.

#78 of 139 Kenwood AM/FM/MP3 player,IPOD Adapter/XM Kit by sduff68 Sep 13, 2007 (10:38 am)
Just read in my Hyundai Welcome Packet that the ealers offer a Kenwood/AM/FM/MP3 player, Kenwood IPOD Adapter, and and XM Satellite Kit.   I recently met someone who has a Kenwood stereo in his radio, he said all Hyundais sold in Texas come with the Kenwood stereo.   Has anyone purchased used this aftermarket system yet? How much does it cost?
