Hi,
I'm trying to get the pac swi-ps to work with a new sony head unit. I installed it and couldn't get it past where you program the "version 9" into it, neither could a local installer. I'm pretty sure my aftermarket wiring harness doesn't have the right wires. It didn't have the right wire for the antenna power either. Does anyone know the correct car wire...

Ok, i've been lurking around since i got my new 08 Sonata limited in May. About the only problem I've had with the car is the rear deck rattle & buzz from the sub.

After searching and checking around online, seemed like a common enough problem & thought my only real solution was to take it apart and install some sound deading.

Anywho, I took my ride in to the...

i was wanting to change the colour of my console face(the part with the ac control knobs)--picture enclosed----is it possible to buy this piece in black to match dash?--or do you think i could brush some paint on it after masking tape it?---picture enclosed--i dont want to have to buy one of those dash kits just to get that one piece--i was thinking maybe using model paint--i really dont want to...

Just to let everybody know because I remember a post about the rear mud guards not fitting. My port received the mud guards for the 09 sonatas today.
I'm not sure when the dealers will be getting them in stock, but it should be soon if not now.

i wana buy the cuper bodykit

Got it on ebay great disc!! if anyone needs anything let me know. just need to know how to do screen shots...lol

For some reason I think this might affect a lot more vehicles than just the 2008 Sonata 4 Cyl.

DESCRIPTION:

Some Sonata 2.4L vehicles with automatic transaxles may experience a vibration,
shudder or booming noise at 38-42 mph in 4th gear. If so, follow the procedure to
update the ECM and TCM.

Today i went to TSB reset my ECU and saw that dealer just received Genesis.
Tested and i liked it. Interior is NICE, seats are comfy. Drives smooth, like G35. But overall it's like BMW or Lexus. default/57.gif' '57.gif' />

Has anybody had problems removing their ignition key?

Mine got stuck in the switch - tried all the usual tricks with the steering wheel and transmission - still wouldn't come out.

The dealer finally got it out - although not easily.

The key was a duplicate which was made using the key code - not a tracing machine.

It's been a while since I was here last. Used to have three Hyundais but sold the Tiburon and got his-and-her Miatas.

It seems that there are spots where the black trim around the windows on our box-stock 06 deepwater blue Sonata is starting to peel. Right now it looks kinda bad but it's probably not that far away from looking really bad.

Has anyone peeled off the...

Does anyone here know where i could get a Studie body kit for a Hyundai Sonata 06?

You would never believe that the bolt patern for the 05-07 mustang is the same for the Sonata. (5 x 114) The offset difference is only 1mm difference. (Must 45mm vs Son 46mm) default/banana.gif' 'banana.gif' />

i debadged my car yesterday using the fishing line method--worked like a charm--just used some 3m adhesive remover to get rid of goo left behind--thanks to all the info in the forums , this turned out to be a very easy mod---looks so much smoother without the letters--now i just need to replace the flying "H" with something unique--anyone know of a good place to get emblems fairly cheap?

Not sure if anyone's seen this yet - looks pretty slick though.

Sitting on a Sunny Lot somewhere in Plantation FL is this Sonata.

Is ebay the best way to buy a Sonata?. You would have until tomorrow.

Are these type of Sales for real? What does 'Certified' mean. And is

purchasing from an actual Dealer, even though listed on ebay safer?

i was looking on tirerack but only have on choice for fronts. Anyone have suggestions of were to buy decent pads for my 06 gls sonata and 05 4wd santa fe?

ps i tied browsing other brake posts but didnt see any suggestions.

Hi,

It seems there are quite a few Sonata drivers who have installed Eibach or H&R springs. Have you guys run into any issues with the Hyundai Factory warranty on your car after you them installed? I drive an Azera and bought a set of H&R springs, however my Hyundai dealer tells me it would void the warranty on the drive train.

Any experiences?

Thanks

I am having problems with my driver side power seat controls. The front-back switch works intermittently (sometimes, not at all). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, was it difficult to get resolved under warranty with the dealer?

Thanks.

2006 Sonata LX

Has any one swapped a power drivers seat for a manual one? My wife is not happy with me because I said the power seat was not worth the extra cost. So now I am looking to swap it out for her. The ride is an '07 Sonata 3.3 , power windows locks, and sunroof.

Has anyone's Sonata every make a grinding sound while turning right. It has happen at several speeds. Sounds like the rubbing or grinding.

Went to my local Shell station the other day and while filling up there were two guys at a table with a new(?) product, which my Shell guy recommended also.

It's a spray can, named FW1, which is both a cleaner and a wax that's great removing tar and bugs grime. My car's front (white paint, oy!) was hit by about a thousand bugs driving down south to Champaign, and that...

You can tell a lot about a manufacturer's commitment to excellence by their parts network.

I went to my dealer and asked about the coin box, the small bin to the left of the steering column. My grandnephew used it as a footstep to climb on the dash. Snap, crunch, owie! default/w00t.gif' ...

Hi everyone:

I'm thinking of purchasing an '09 Sonata. Love the car and have had good luck with Hyundai in the past. My current wheels are prime for a trade-in and I might do the switch.

But here's where I need your help.

I've read and read and read about invoice pricing and holdback and deals, etc. While it appears that invoice is about 1K below...

I have a push button start from my 07 Ram truck that I traded in for my Sonata. I was wondering if anyone has hooked up a push button start to their Sonata?

I bought my 07 Sonata about six months ago and its finally due for an oil change. My question is do I have to take it to the dealer or can I take it to any decent lube place (ie not Jiffy Lube)?

I've lurked here a bit and thought I remembered reading something to the effect that filters for the 4G model were dealer exclusive or aftermarkets had some issues or something. Any info...

Hi All,

I'm sure everyone remembers my horrible experience, so there's no sense in writing it out again. Anyway, I finally got the car back from the body shop and it looks like brand new again. They fixed every ding and scratch on the car. New wheels, new carpeting and mats, and just about every other thing that needed to be fixed. The car looks and drives like it just came...

Hello all I work at a port and oversee port installed options and was wondering if anybody has had their spoiler come loose.

I'm talking about the ones that look like this by the way.

Has anyone purchased and installed some kind of sliding / retractable rear window shade in your Sonata? I was able to find this:http://autosunshades.net/index.htm, and was told the thing would need four screws to fix to the car, though the 4 holes left by the screws would be very small. Anyone has any experience on this, or similar products?

Cliff Notes for those who don't like reading moderately long posts: I finally achieved 600 plus miles off one tank of gas.

Hello Everyone:
I'm coming up on almost 36,000 miles and I just recieved a letter from my dealership saying that there is a service for my car at that mileage. Does anyone know what it consist of? Im thinking if its something I can do myself, then I would do it myself. TIA.

We drove down to Champaign IL yesterday and there was this nice, white V6 Sonata, and something looked funny.... It took me some time to realize the wheels were different.... Like old fashioned cars, there was this black "frame" with round holes in the inside of the wheels. While in our cars we can see thru the whole brake mechanism, this car I saw nothing but that UGLY black thing.

I have a 2008 SE and the factory sub is crap. I want to replace it with something better. I searched and did not find anything explicitly similar, but if there is something already out there please point me in the right direction.

I know:

The factory sub is 8"

You can fit up to 10" with some modifications

I don't know:

So I am browsing early this morning, you know just looking at cars and at times just being shell shocked at the ghastly things some people will do to their rides. In any case I ran across one page for a guy with a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. He claims his car makes 308HP on a HKS Single Turbo setup. I find that very hard to believe and I'm actually surprised no one has challenged him on his claim...

New to Forum. I own a 2007 Hyundai Sonata V6. I've owned the car almost 1 yr but only have 5000 miles. The other day I noticed the bumper paint is peeling along the seam of the rear bumper on both sides.

ECM UPDATE - 2009 SONATA (NF) 3.3L ROUGH IDLE

Some 2009 SONATA (NF) 3.3L vehicles may experience a rough idle when the
steering wheel is turned all the way to the right or left during parking maneuvers with
air conditioner running. The following procedure describes the procedure to reprogram
the ECM software.

what size are our stock speakers? Think it would be worth upgrading to different ones..any ideas on some brands from personal experience?
