I recently purchased a 2009 Sonata Limited V6 with navigation. I've noticed that the volume is limited quite a bit with all but Dolby Digital recordings. I can turn the volume up to 35 (max) and can still hold a conversation (that's the only way to easily put it). However, if I put in a DVD Audio disc, also encoded in DD, I don't need to turn it up beyond 20 and it sounds great. Anyone know how to reprogram the nav to eliminate the volume nanny? By the way, I can't believe how awesome this car is. I was looking exclusively at the new Camry and Accord to replace my 14mpg (on premium) Trailblazer SS. My dad said I should look at the Sonata, after he rented one a few months ago and really liked it. Just to appease him, I did. They offered me almost $3k more for my trade than Honda and Toyota, and sold me the Sonata for $24k ($3.5k off MSRP). It rides better than the Camry and fits me better than the Accord. It was a no brainer! Now, I just have to get my friends and coworkers to stop laughing at me. People need to be convinced that Hyundai doesn't sell the junk they used to. It took me about a week of research and a test drive. |

Is there anyway to have the fog lights come on w/o the headlights? This is the first car I've driven where it seems impossible.

Can anyone confirm this for me? All of the advertising I've seen for the 2009 Limited includes a 6 disc CD Changer. I bought the model with navigation and was disappointed to find out it only plays a single disc and does not include the changer. I read through the manual and it seems to confirm this. Having the Nav is a fine trade off for it, but I was wondering if anyone else was surprised by this.

There is a TSB that just came out. It's for those using an iPod with the standard cable. It basically says that you need to buy the iPod adaptor cable for proper operation. Also I recommend updating the iPod's firmware to the latest version to ensure compatibility. 08620-2L000 is the part number for the iPod cable. I encourage any 09 sonata owner with any modern iPod to go to the dealer and get the cable. |

According to the manual, “No Formal break-in procedure is required. However, you can contribute to the economical operation and durability by observing the following recommendations during the first 1,200 miles.” • Two of the eight suggestions listed are: o “Don’t drive faster that 55MPH” o “While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000rpm and 4,000rpm” Following the second suggestion is impossible to do with automatic transmission unless one uses Sports Mode shifter to keep the rpm higher than Auto transmission will. For the most part Auto transmission keeps the rpm from under 1,000 to 1,500. I want this engine to last as long as possible and in the long run I want to get the best MPG possible. Hence, do I keep using the Sports Mode shifter to keep the rpm around 2,000-2,5000?
