IPOD DIRECT CONNECTION USING XM by ricknj
Apr 05, 2007 (9:02 pm)
Reply
in my 05 Honda Accord i took out the connection on the xm feature and had an adapter to connect directly to my ipod like an auxilliary in connection type and that was great far better than an FM transmitter and used belkin connection to charge and amplify the sound for the ipod. so my XM was gone which i didnt need (would be nice if it was free though hehe) but i opted for my own generation my own tunes. So when i press XM viola !!! 30 gigs of music. any suggestions on the XM if it can be modified as well for my SF Limited AWD 07 ? i will do my own research and post a reply if i find one. thanks for reading this.

I would love to know about this too.
 
Anyone have any luck with a direct connection to the 07 SF with an iPod or some other external device?

Just to clarify, the 2007 Santa Fe does not have an aux in jack.

XM problem by bellasmom1

I just got a new 2007 Santa Fe about a month ago. Ive never had XM radio before but I was shocked at how bad it sounded. Especially on talk radio stations it sounds like and echo with a lisp (the best way I can think to describe.) Ive read the posts here about XM but what Im hearing sounds like it might be different. Took to dealer and they said that is what it is supposed to sound like. I cant believe it should sound that bad. Is this common?

I have not noticed this with XM. I don't listen to a lot of talk, mostly music, but the sound is great. I do listen occasionally to the comedy channels, and the sound is not always the best, but I think that is because much of the material is recorded live in comedy clubs. I have noticed that the volume is much higher on XM compared to FM or even a CD. Only complaint is the occasional signal loss in some areas (mostly due to terrain).

I listen to a lot of XM in my Santa Fe and the sound quality is good. I listen to music only, though, and 99% of the music is on channels that play newer recordings (as opposed to, for example, the "40s" channel). While XM sound quality isn't quite as good as that of CDs, it's still quite good (much better than it is in my Corvette). Try listening to "Watercolors" - they play recently-recorded smooth jazz. I'm betting that you'll be happy with the sound quality. If so, then you know that there's nothing wrong with your car's hardware.

Welcome to the world of compressed audio. That is how they can squeeze more channels onto limited bandwidth. Since talk is basically low in audio bandwidth, so the artifact of audio compression is more obvious: more audio distortion. It is probably similar to listening to MP3 music with low bit rate.
 
Satellite radio and MP3, Ipod types of music are designed for convenience. They are not for high Fidelity

have a xm radio that seems to have a mind of its own. when i programe stations into the radio it seems to move and add them when ever its wants. like if i put the 60s on 1 and thw 70s on 2 it might put the 80s on 1 then the 60s on 3 and so on.im going to hyundai tomorow and tell. them. now as far as the sound goes i use the built in equliezer to find whts best for me and its works .thanks
