What Owners Say
"When playing a CD, if you stop the engine then restart the CD defaukts to the beginning each time. CD should start where left off when engine was stopped. Replacement unit does the same. My opinion... Hyundai has cheapened up the electronics responsible for this feature"
Edward H., NJ (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Ultimate 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"When a CD is inserted, CD always starts from the beginning after turning off the car then restarting, pausing, etc. CD should always resume play back from the point it was in when stopping then restarting the car. Same is true when the CD is paused. When you hit play CD should resume play back from the paused point. Instead it goes back to the beginning. Original CD unit was replaced but the replacement CD player has the same problem. Quality control problem or just cheapening up on included hardware ? No one cares because CD players are nearly obsolete. Shame on Hyundai."

"Would delay switching out of back-up camera when shifting to drive particularly when the ambient temperature was cold . Dealer installed a new camera but I am not sure the problem is solved. Have not had enough time to be certain as it happened once more this past winter."
