2012 Elantra Limited Sound System
Surprised there isn't a forum about this, so I added it. How do you like the sound system upgrade in the limited model. I like mine but wonder where the amp is? Also, why is most of the sound from the front speakers? Is there an easy way to add a subwoofer? I have mine set at 2 up from center on both bass and mid bass and 3 DOWN on treble (from center), with the fader 2 toward the back. I also leave my auto volume turned on. This gives me pretty good sound, but I'm used to having more control and getting better sound. How do you have yours set and do you like the system? (I listen to CD mostly, and ipod right after that. XM sounds just okay...and FM is pretty bad).

It does not get loud enough for road noise (35 max volume). Also, speed based sound is useless and not programmable as it is on many other cars.
If there is an AMP, id like to know where it is to see if I can upgrade it.
The sound system.
The auto-volume feature on and off sound the same. You can't adjust the sensitivity, or even bump the volume higher than 35. Is there a magical button I haven't pressed to bump the volume louder?
I'm also disappointed in the sound quality of the system. Plus I have an issue playing CD's. Almost every CD I play cuts the last 30 seconds or so off the last track and starts the CD over. I know all players start the CD over, but they play the entire last track. I can go back to the last track afte this happens and it plays all the way thru. Any suggestions to get rid of this issue other than swapping out the player. Wonder if the reset button would work......The service center at my dealer is CLUELESS about this.
I also have an issue with my phone, which is blu toothed connected. When car was brand new, it would import my contacts. But not any longer. It never does. Any suggestions?
I've no idea where the amp is. The places that come to mind are the trunk, under a seat, and in the dash under the head unit. Perhaps someone can see if the service manual is available at hmaservice.com to see if it details where the amp is located.
For your Bluetooth problem, have you tried deleting the phone & re-pairing it? Personally I prefer my Mitsu's BT setup where you manually import contacts. I have lots of contacts but their details rarely change so there's no reason - in my case - to re-sync the contact list every time I drive.
