Replying to: oscar_gata (Apr 24, 2008 3:15 pm) I can't imagine there is an open input in the back of the unit, otherwise why make and sell the FM Modulator Unit? In my experience, the dealers don't know what they have and don't have. My dealer was not conversant about this subject at all, and the service manager suggested I keep the $200 FM Modulator that doesn't work in my area for the times when I might travel out of state and there would not be a strong radio station on that frequency. Duh!    Maybe a good car audio store can tell about the input. I have the unit in the Veracruz that has Infinity Speakers (not sure who made the radio/stereo/MP3player unit, otherwise could contact the manufacturer).   C'mon Hyundai. Even the Ford Focus has one. Isn't this your luxury line??

Replying to: oscar_gata (Apr 24, 2008 3:15 pm) Actually, my question should have been "does the radio that comes with basic SE trim (no options) has the real line-in connectors in the back".   There's several different radios in different versions of Veracruz. If not all of them have real line-in, it's probably simplest thing for Hyundai to only sell the FM based AUX jack ("one size fits all" philosophy).

Replying to: amiliv (Apr 24, 2008 4:18 pm) If there were an AUX input, there would have been a way to switch to it from the front panel like to any other source (FM, CD). But there is no such option in the menus, right?

Replying to: amiliv (Apr 24, 2008 4:18 pm) I spoke with a friend who works in Hyundai's Parts department, and he said that there is no spare input. The 2007/2008MY radios have a back input, but it is used by the XM receiver (a separate receiver from the AM/FM one). And if you were thinking (like me) that you simply pull out the XM wires and plug in aux jack ones, the plug is proprietary to Hyundai. If you're an electrical engineer you could work out something, but not if you are a regular car audio installer. This applies to all the Veracruz radios and Santa Fe's as well. Sorry.

Replying to: oscar_gata (Apr 25, 2008 9:25 am) Thanks for the info oscar. I'm disappointed but it saves me chasing around to find out. I appreciate it.

Replying to: oscar_gata (Apr 25, 2008 9:25 am) I would guess the proprietary cable is used for communication between radio and XM receiver (it sounds as if XM receiver is controlled by the radio). So in theory, one could cut the wires and reroute to AUX jack if the audio lines are analog (if they are digital, no luck). If one could figure out which wires inside the cable are used for analog audio (again, if there is analog audio in that connector to begin with). Though, I probably wouldn't play with that. There's a risk to fry either radio, or XM receiver, or both by mis-wiring something. Considering that good digital FM transmitter that can be set to any FM frequency is around $20-40, it's not worth the risk. Replies to this message: oscar_gata (Apr 28, 2008 4:14 pm)

Replying to: amiliv (Apr 25, 2008 8:28 pm) If you set up an account for hmaservice.com, you can look at the Veracruz radio wiring setup. It's too complicated for me , but maybe someone else could make use of it. I found it under SHOP/VERACRUZ (EN)/2007/BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/AUDIO/AUDIO UNIT/COMPONENTS. I don't see the 4 XM wires called out, and the connector out of the XM box has 16 pins. It also uses a CAN bus, so I think the chance of a lay person figuring out anything except for speaker wiring is close to nil.
#56 of 98 rear headphones by ajm25 May 17, 2008 (4:57 am)
I would agree with an earlier poster that the rear headphones are very poor. Does anyone know what options there are for getting new ones? Are the frequencies on them standard? Thanks
#57 of 98 Auxiliary audio jack, quality and experiences installing by amiliv May 18, 2008 (8:03 pm)
I've just installed auxiliary jack with FM modulator. However, it stops working after just few minutes. If I power everything down and leave it for few minutes, it works again for few minutes, and than stops working again.   Looks like there are some bad modulators around, so it's best to test them before reassembling everything. Leave it running for at least 5-10 minutes to test if it is good. I reassembled everything before I realized something's wrong with mine, so I guess I'll have to do it all over again to replace it.   With my kit, I got in the package one additional module called ground loop isolator. It's not mentioned in installation instructions (it comes with it's own instructions). It goes between connector switch plate and FM modulator. Not sure if it is supposed to solve problem of charging device that is connected to the aux port, or something else.   While it was working, it was working sufficiently good (considering it's FM modulator).   There were some reports that it's hard to remove vent panels. I found it very easy to remove vent panels by using 3 thin disposable plastic knifes and a large flat screwdriver. I simply pushed plastic knifes deep where main clips are (fiddling them a bit to get them in) and left them in. That disengaged the clips, and kept them disengaged. Then I used large flat screwdriver to pry off the panel. There's image on this forum (post #39) that shows location of main clips (three on each panel, one on top, two on the side). Even without picture, it is relatively easy to feel with the plastic knife where the clips are. The panel pops out rather abruptly, so be gentle.   Oh, and if you are clumsy as me, and manage to drop any of the tools inside the console cavity... Good luck fishing it out. You'll have to disassemble center console. Removing plastic cover that is around shifter should be sufficient. To remove it, all you need is large flat screwdriver. Just pop it out on one side, than the other. I managed to recover my lost tool without removing the knob from the shifter (I haven't figure out how to remove knob without applying too much force and/or risking to brake something). Don't bother attempting to remove panels on the side, you won't be able to access anything that way. Replies to this message: skwilson (Aug 17, 2008 10:17 pm)
#58 of 98 IPOD lockpick cable by bullocks1 May 22, 2008 (9:22 am)
Has anyone heard of the above ... is it availible for Hyundai? Basically you highjack the XM on the stereo and run the Ipod through the XM feature of the Stereo. It works for Cadilac ....   http://www.coastaletech.com/GM_IPOD_LOCKPICK.htm   Any Feed Back would be great. Replies to this message: amiliv (May 23, 2008 7:51 am)
