Band-aid could be adding Ground trap and/or filter to radio or Amplifier. And BTW, sometimes your add-on electronics could cause Electrical Interference too. Such things are noisy GPS module, Inverters (they are all noisy), PC. But normally they are jamming radios, not your CD. If the problem is a function of vehicle ignition on or off, then it is more likely the vehicle itself is at fault jt |

Replying to: wevk (Feb 26, 2008 4:20 pm) I've not seen any complaints of this and have not noticed it, so I don't know whether it's outside my hearing range. If this is indeed a situation where they indeed all do it, it would probably require an engineering solution on Hyundai's part. The discussion in the Edmunds forum seems to be on point. I'd expect the radio and antenna shielding would be well-grounded, so any engineering fix would most likely involve some sort of in-line filter for the antenna cable. Start with the dealer. Make them aware of the issue and have them check the vehicle. If they have difficulty repairing, they're likely to call technical assistance. If they believe it to be normal they're likely to take no further action. You'll want the dealer to call technical assistance in either case. If technical assistance tells them it's normal, there's nothing more the dealer will be able to do. Technical assistance may also propose a solution or report that one is coming but not ready yet. If the above doesn't solve the problem, make a complaint to Hyundai consumer assistance. While making the complaint still won't guarantee a fix, it'll at least make sure Hyundai is aware of the problem. The more people that call with the problem, the more likely it is that the problem will be addressed. |

Replying to: mazy (Jan 23, 2008 5:11 pm) Also, everyone should know that the stereo is on a different warranty than the 5 year bumper to bumper. I was told that it's 3 year, 30k miles. That's an issue for me because I've already driven over 20k miles in the year that I've owned the car. I'm still contemplating what to do about this, but am seriously considering taking action under my state's Lemon laws as I am nearing the end of my warranty. This issue only occurs in the Santa Fe Limited models with the upgraded audio system, which really pisses me off because a base model car sounds better than mine.
