i have friend has korean avante(elantra) 2008 when he insert the cd the player shows error code 42 and the problem is taht his owner manual in korean language . can anybody hel me what does this code mean. thank u in advance.

My owners manual doesn't have the audio error codes and descriptions. One thing you might try is to reset the electronics on the audio system by removing power (pulling and re-installing the fuse). You will lose the radio presets doing this. On my Elantra, the audio fuse is accessed on the side of the instrument panel from the drivers side door. The audio fuse is in the middle column, 5 up from the bottom.

Edit: I also looked in the Shop Manual. It doesn't list error codes either, but it did indicate that to do the audio reset, there are 2 audio fuses that need to be removed and you should leave them out for 5 minutes before reinstalling them. Remove and reinstall with the ignition key off.
