I have a 05 Sonata and would like to add a new radio that supports mp3
cds and preferably an aux-in. I -LOVE- the stock speakers and they
sound great.

I simply want a new headend that will have the above features, but
keep EVERYTHING else the same.

What do I have to look for? I don't want to bypass the amp (it has
one in the trunk, correct? or am I mistaken.) What kind of outputs do
I need to have? Obviously I'd get a wiring harness for an easier
install... I just don't want to have to bypass any of the factory
equipment.

Thanks

 

Have you tried to record your own MP3's and try them ?? I have a 2005 XG350L
and record my own music CD's ( all with MP3's ) and they work fine, even in
the 8 CD changer in the trunk.

I just tried that. Unfortunately, my Sonata is a bit lower-end than
your XG350L ;(

If my Sonata was an 06, then it'd come stock with the mp3 player.



On a side note, does anyone know if having radio-tuner buttons labeled
"
TUNE
DISC
"
means that this disc can have a CD changer hooked up? I see nothing
else about changers in any of my manuals.

Thanks

Also, does anyone know what different brands of units Hyundai used as
the H260 on the 2005 Sonata? If it's a Kenwood, as I've heard some
people say, I'd just pick up the thing here:
