Hmmm....class action lawsuit, anyone?
I agree the Blue Tooth technology list is behind the times. I had to have Verizon pull me out an antiquated phone so that I could try to resolve the Blue tooth issue, but it failed again.
By the way, does your HD radio hold a station.. anywhere? Mine doesn't. I was told that all the cars do that. Why put the bells and whistles on the car if they don't work. I know others manufacturers have the HD technology and their cars actually operate.
What is the magnussum moss warranty act? I am going to arbitration tomorrow morning. After the way I've been treated over the past 14 months, I do not want anything to do with Hyundai. Wish me luck! Hopefully this will be the last post on this site.
If only it were so. As with most tech standards, it is versioned. And different manufacturers will have different means of achieving compatibility with their targeted version. Sometimes problems arise that shouldn't.
Case in point: My wife & I had 2 cell phones from the same manufacturer. They're from the same generation though they were different models. Mine synced with my car just fine but hers never would. It wouldn't even get a successful initial pairing. All devices - the car & both phones - were manufactured in 2009.
Was the problem with the phone or the car? Both worked with other BT devices but just wouldn't work with each other. I can't blame the car because it paired just fine with my phone. But I also can't blame her phone as it paired just fine with a regular BT headset. Maybe it would have worked if we'd pair them during a full moon after sacrificing a goat.
Glitches when engineering compatibility based on a standard go back many years. I can remember in the very early 1980s when everyone made their printers compatible with the Epson MX80 yet several devices were "mostly" compatible and would glitch if you tried to do anything esoteric with them.
My wife has yet to pair her Samsung Galaxy S with her 2012 Elantra so I can't comment on it just yet.
I just purchased a 2012 sonata SE turbo and have had no issues with pairing my blackberry 9700. However after working fine for about a day, now when i hit the voice command button and say "call xxx" it doesnt understand me or says "this option is not available in the current mode" or suggests a # such as "207" which isnt even close to what I am saying. Does anyone know why this happens? Before today it worked fine and I had no troubles getting it to understand my request. Thanks.
I bought the Sonata in March and the Bluetooth was never a problem.
About three weeks ago I first notice it. I went to make a call and got "downloading phone book".
Two weeks ago I had to go to Long Island, NY from my home is NJ, a distance of 75 miles. The download completed about 1 hour later.
I went to the HTC Forum and found out that Verizon just started to release a new version of the firm-ware. I checked my HTC Incredible and found out I had Version 2.3.4 and software version 4.08.605.2.
My wife has the same phone but hers wasn't updated. Took it to the car and it completed the download in seconds.
Going to Version tomorrow. Will let you know what they say.
I than called HTC and they found two problems with my phone.
1- In the advance settings FTB Server was not checked. It was before the upgrade and they could give me an answer as to why the upgrade "might" had turn it off. I could not check the box hence step 2.
2- The SD card was not full installed. Had to remove it and reinsert it.
So it was the SD card.
Allowed the download to my wife's Incredible.
Both are back to what we had before the upgrade in November.
Hope this helps other people that may been having problems with the upgrade.

Bluetooth File Transfer
Run the Program Then Menu--> Send Contacts --> All Contacts or select specific group -->Send as single --> In Sonata disconnect phone then reconnect.
I tried a million different combinations and attempted tons of different things including restoring the system to factory defaults and deleting all pairings etc etc etc.
I can't stress how happy I am that it finally Frickin WORKED!!!!!!

When I say a name, it seems to find a name form another address book, but not mine, or my wife's. I think they installed a refurbished radio, as the issue only appeared after it was replaced the first time. I am guessing that the refurbished radio I received has someone else's address book in it. If this is the case, this is a huge privacy issue for Hyundai . Yes, I have pushed my address book successfully, with no resolution.
I am going to try to unplug the car battery for a while to wipe radio, in the hopes that does it. FYI, disconnecting the fuse did not resolve the issue either.
Losing faith with the dealer service centre and Hyundai.
Trying with;
Sonata Limited T2.0 without NAV
Blackberry Pearl 3G with OS5
Blackberry Pearl 3G with OS6 (two different phones)
Blackberry Bold 9900 with OS7
(On the Bell Canada network)
Id be willing to bet the farm you got a refurbished unit. I was told by my dealer that the radio replacements are refurb units in just about all cases. I had an 09 Elantra Touring that had TWO replacement radios. The first replacement gave me fits when trying to get my XM service switched over- It was a major hassle because the radio ID was linked to another persons account!
It's definately Hyundai's crap technology. The thing is this was one of the reasons we decided on this car. Absolute rubbish
I just got new hyundai sonata 2012.But I am experiencing issue with steering.When i am turning steering to left (after 2 -3 complete steering rotation) or right I ma hearing some sort of noise.Is this common for sonata.Let me know. Thanks in Advance.
How can I manually remove particular contacts from the car? Or how can I "really remove" all of my contacts from the car (so I can start over)?
Do you have your AM radio on? I have a 2011, and I thought I had an issue with noise from my power steering when near full L or R. It turns out that under that condition, I get a high pitched whine from my radio (AM 780 in this case) Turn off the radio, problem solved.
Bottom line, the EPS can slightly interfere with the AM radio at extreme L or R position. Not really a big deal...
Check to see if your issue is caused by the same AM radio interference.

One thing to try with your current phone...when you say the name of the contact you are trying to call, speak it as last name then first name...for example "Call Smith John" instead of "Call John Smith". I am assuming you have your contacts loaded with entries in both the first name and last name fields in the phone's phonebook.
There have been reports that the Hyundai system works as last name/first name. In my phone, I put the entire name as the first name which allows me to say "Call John Smith" in my Sonata. You could also put a "test" entry in the phonebook with the entire name as the first name and see if that works for you as well.

One little annoyance is that my Blackberry refers to a work number as "work" but the Sonata calls it "office." Easy to remember though.
It then defaults back to below 15 and have to change volume as call comes in to hear. I just dont understand how to keep all settings?
Thx
I was due to upgrade from my 4s to a 5 last month so I did and as a side, was hoping this issue would go away, but it still occurs consistently.
Sounds like I am not alone here, which is good. But has anyone been able to get this repaired??
