After an awesome head-on collision which totaled my Toyota Corolla, I decided to get with the program and buy a Sonata. Through the great rebates to clear the '08 inventory, I got a 2008 V6 Limited.

The stereo doesn't have an aux-in which is something that is on my list of things to update. In a relatively exhaustive search of forum topics, I didn't find anything that definitively said whether or not this was possible, but one thread alluded to the possibility that the single-disc head unit in the 08 required an FM modulator or other similar work-around. This makes me wonder if the 6-disc doesn't.

I'd really like to avoid dropping $500 on an aftermarket radio just to get a mini-jack for audio in. Is there a magical fix to get that aux in?

No way around it, you have to buy an aftermarket headunit to get aux.

I have the 07 limited with the in dash 6-cd.

OR you can burn MP3 cd's and load them with all your music. The total I have is about 70 on each CD, if I go over that amount it seems to have some problems. So thats about 420 songs. I plan to upgrade to a double-din touch screen unit. Probably the pioneer.

I appreciate the quick response :-) DC represent!

I was afraid that would be the answer - one of the things I'm leery about is how to navigate through 6 CDs of 100 songs a pop. I guess it'll take a bit of experimentation.

If you do end up getting the DD touch screen, please post and let us know what you got - maybe a DIY on the install? Eventually I'll probably end up going that route myself.

Our display onthe 6-cd changer will display the song titles. Each CD has a different genre of music. All in alpha-order. I will probably update the stereo when sat radio produces a device that can read both XM and Sirius. They currently have some devices that have 2 inputs for sat radio but don't want to go that route.

If you do a search you can find others that have listed this problem and see their setup. I like the large touch screen set up, instead of the single din CD player. It creates another storage spot, like the sonata doesn't have enough already.

I see a lot of Hyundais driving around the Fairfax area of Northern Va. Anywhere from the 18 year old with 20 inch rims to the 70+ year old at the Harris Teeter. :)

In the DC area, I have had a problem with people breaking into my Hondas. My wrangler with the soft top, was also broken into many times. People would always steal the CD's that I burned and I usually had my name as the title. So there are people driving around with my name displayed on their stereo.
