Hello everyone. I'm new here and I was looking for a thread about the Radio display. Does any one here had changed the small 5 inches screen radio to the 8 inches screen in the Sonata SE?
If my english is not good, Please excuse me. It is my second language.
Hi from Puerto Rico.

An 8" screen will not fit unless you do some serious dash mods. The A/C vents are too close to the radio.

Biggest I could fit was a 7" screen, Pioneer 8100NEX

Well, to stay out of trouble, I better replace the screen with the Sport one with everything working, including the backup camera. Now, can this be done? Oviously if it could be done, I will take it to the Hyundai service center to get a secure and pro instalation.
Have anyone done this before? Any picture?

Thanks,

I asked this question about a month ago. Unfortunately no one could really offer any information on whether or not you could successfully retrofit factory 8" display audio into a car that came with the 5" display unit.

I am keeping my eyes open for a system from a salvage car so I can attempt the retrofit myself.

Good luck
