Trying to acertain the OEM of the car radio for 2004 GS350. Anybody having issues with their radios? AM (while dead to most of the world) still provides some programming of interest to niche audiences. Too much static on the AM band and no ability to eliminate it. Can't hold a signal from a station less than 10 miles away.

I have a 2004 XG350L and have had radio issues. My radio comes on by itself and then switches between am/fm to cd at time. I had it replaced under warranty and now it is doing it again and hyundia is not going to cover it because I am out of the radio warranty, even thought it is doing the same thing. I called their main customer service line and had a case set up. It took over a month and they declined to do any kind of goodwill adjustment. Has left me a very disappointed with my vehicle. I was told to buy a aftermarket radio and have it installed. Thought that was a pretty poor answer. Has anyone else had that issue?

I have a 2002 XG350. The radio worked fine until 2006 and then started with the on/off by itself - switching between CD / radio by itself.
I added an aftermarket CD changer in 2004 -- so it's wasn't clearcut to me that it was the radios fault.
In any case, I am now replacing the radio with an JVC KWXG700 - getting mp3 capability is a good trade off.

Interesting how all these radios turn themselves off and on. Mine too. I want to replace the radio for my 2001 Hyundai xg300 and the opening is so big you'd think a double din radio would fit inside, yet there are no kits to do it. Perhaps you don't need a kit but according to Crutchfield's all double din radios do not fit.
A very nice and knowledgeable person in Texas told me that it might be that the radio is a false front and it really isn't that big and there are things behind it like duct work that necessitates an overall smaller radio.
What do you all think?

Yes, I've had and have radio trouble with my 2004 xg 350. About 11 months ago my radio would come on when the car was off and in the garage which would kill the battery. The dealer put in a new radio amplifier under warranty however after 11months the same thing is happening now. But now the warranty has run out. They have had the car 4 days and said there isn't any problem they could find. So I took the car home and the battery went dead in 2 days of sitting.Did a little research and found this problem is pretty common. Found the key off battery drain to be 20 milliamps from Hyundai.However with the radio amp fuse in I pull 70 milliamps. With the fuse out I get 27 milliamps. Doesn't look good for the radio amp. Have a call in to some techs to find out exactly what causes it and the fix we can do short of a $600.00 radio amp. Hope this helps a little.
