I have no idea about the door locks .. but the random is one cd at a time. .
 
Im curious if anyone is having issues with just the XM quality ..after 3 weeks ours just started cutting in and out. . XM has rebooted the signal twice and now says we need to go back to the Dealer. .but on first call to service. .they say that if the radio works .. they ahve no idea. . To XM's credit . .they have extended our trial ti l it gets worked out.

Car dealers are notoriously clueless about radio problems. Your cutting-in-and-out problem could be an antenna problem, or it could just be one of those "XM things".
 
Be aware there are many things that could compromise your XM reception:
 
1. Driving in a city with tall buildings
 
2. Driving down a street with lots of big old leafy trees.
 
3. Weather situations (thunderstorm, etc.)
 
Here in Colorado, not much of the above apply, but I can pretty well guarantee that I'll lose my signal in a certain area in Boulder...
 
What part of the country are you in? Any of this sound likely?

The XM sound quality isn't that great, but that's an XM issue (my portable MyFi sounds the same).
 
Tell me more about where you're driving when the XM signal cuts in and out. If you're under a bridge or in a parking garage or under lots of trees, the signal will cut out because the antenna can't see the sky. XM does have repeaters in different metro areas to fill in coverage gaps where they know that the terrain will block reception (they're also very hush-hush about where these repeaters are, so if you want to know if there is one near you they won't tell you) and the radio buffers about 8 seconds of data before it drops to try to minimize dropouts while you drive.
 
If your XM cuts out when you have a clear view of the sky, then yes, I would doubt the radio. If you don't have a clear view of the sky when the signal drops, then your radio may be fine and this is just how satellite radio works.

At first we thought it was cloudy conditions. .but on 2 recent interstate trips ..it was clear as bell sky wise and we werent even under a leaf! Its just so hard to explain to the dealer .. as its not an all the time thing. . .and yet - its an issue before we commit long term to XM.

XM subscribers, In case you haven't seen this, a new Music Royalty fee is being added to bills starting July 29th. When your current subscription expires, an additional $1.98 per month will be added to your bill.

That fee may kill off a lot of those tiny little internet radio stations that I skim now and then. I don't mind paying artists, but I hate giving any money to the RIAA.

'09 With Nav by grayland22

I can't seem to find out the model and information on the radio used with the 2009 SF with Navigation. The non-nav unit has an I-POD/MP3 jack...but not available with Navigation. I am trying after market, but they want to know the details on the unit. They feel that it must be a different model as the MP3 jack is not offered.
 
Anyone have any help on this. Anyone successfully installed an AUX jack on a 09 with Navigation????

I posted to you on HyundaiForums. The aftermarket people claim to not have made a device with aux, etc. for the Nav unit. Apparently not enough Hyundai people care.

2009 Santa Fe car stereo (RCA output?) by cmlegend

Hi, I just bought a 2009 Santa Fe and I have an amp that I would like to plug in to my car stereo. Is it possible or I need to change the radio that allows it and get a special module so I can hook it up to the steering wheel.
 
Thanks

I am (or was) in the audio business, and I can't quite understand what you're asking. To attach an amp to the factory stereo you need an adapter to drop the speaker level outputs down to line level, and then attach that to your amp. The Metra part number is ALOC-60, about $25 from various sources. There is no involvement with the steering wheel. If you choose to replace the OEM radio with an aftermarket unit, virtually all of them have outputs for amps, and steering wheel interface adapters are available for most brands.
