Actually, most people do subscribe/track/watch (whatever they're calling it today) all discussions related to a vehicle and/or brand that interests them, so one or two posts are usually enough. The accessories topic covers all model years, by the way.
 
You have a happy Thanksgiving, too, turkey!!

Thank you Pat! My apologies if anyone's fragile sensibilities were ruffled. I guess I was just a lil over zealous and wanted to share with everyone. If you would be so kind as to go back and delete the extraneous postings and leave the one in the accessories topic, then maybe that'll get the universe back in alignment and bring peace and order to the Azera Forum.
 
You have a happy Thanksgiving as well.

I think everything's fine, just something to think about for another time, that's all.

Your right ..this grill looks a hell of a lot better than the cheapo grill on the Azera.
Thanks for the post!
The other cheap offering on the Canadian zera is the economy instrument cluster..
instead of the electoluminescent cluster on the American Azera. The marketing
fellow in Toronto said the electroluminescent panel would have added $600.00
bucks to the car..in 2006 anyway. Would have been worth it!
Cheers,
alymac

"The other cheap offering on the Canadian zera is the economy instrument

In the first place, this 'cheap offering' as you put it is common only to the
GLS and the SE models here in Estados Unidos.
I think that you will probably find that 'cheap offering' dash in all Canadian
models but the Ultra Limited. Someone please check on this.
I happen to prefer my dash panel to the electroluminescent panel for several reasons:
 
1.) My dash is always visible. There is no need to turn on the key for the dash to appear.
 
2.) Sooner or later, being electronic, something can and will probably fail because it is electronic. If you have the 'cheap offering' as I do, consider yourself to be most fortunate.
 
3.) Is it me, or is the 'cheap offering' easier to read? It is I think. That's only my opinion.
 
As far as the standard Azera grill is concerned, I happen to prefer it also.
I know one fellow who changed his GLS to an aftermarket grill, and he said it was a big job. When he traded his Azera, he didn't remove the aftermarket grill, saying it was hard to install and he didn't want to go through all of that again to put the stock grill back in.
 
"The marketing fellow in Toronto said the electroluminescent
panel would have added $600.00 bucks to the car."

 
Although that electroluminescent panel is most certainly more expensive than
the 'cheap offering' dash panel, I seriously doubt that the electroluminescent
dash would add $600 to the cost of the Azera.
 
Too bad they didn't apply some of the money they saved into better built shock absorbers!
 
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

My understanding from the dealer and from Toronto was that the electoluminescent
dial was not available in any Canadian Azera in 2006........though Im not sure what
was offered in 2007
Anyway the Azera is a great car....my hope is they dont discontinue it with the advent of a suc cess store with the Genesis.
And you too, have a thankful Thanksgiving

I have changed the grille on my '06 Azera and did not find it a big job, maybe a couple hours, tops. There are some weird fasteners involved, but if one has a decent selection of tools, its no big deal.

I changed my Azera stock grille to an "H-Less" Korean model in an hour and twenty minutes. Not a difficult job with a little patience.
Now, I see that the Genesis grille apparently fit into my Azera from the photos on this site. Hmmmmm.

08 v 09 LG NAV Unit by sripton

i need to know if any 08 azera ltd nav owners have seen the back of the LG unit and could describe any additional interfaces, as well as any 09 nav owners who may have seen the back of the rev 02 nav unit in the 09. I've contacted dealers and LG and Hyundai and none have any technical data beyond the relatively poor manual provided. Before i make my arthritic hands get into the dash, I'd like to know if there is any ability to add an I/O device through the headunit without using fm modulators or such and what is the difference between the 08 and 09 headunits. The 09 does show a new revision number for the LG unit, but the units appear to be identical. a picture of the back of the headunits would make my day!!

I've replaced many a stock head unit in my young 38 years and I haven't come across any that offered any sort of interfaces without having to purchase some aftermarket piece to make it happen. As cool as it would be for an automaker to provide an owner with the ability to customize their entertainment system, the most you can hope for is USB or Aux inputs.
