1) Is there any way to Pause?
2) How do you get it to default to Random instead of having to select it everytime you turn on the car, use steering wheel controls to change a song, etc.?
Thanks,

I am considering using a "Flash-Drive" instead but I do not know how much functionality I lose by doing this. Would I have to place each artist in its own folder so I could just play that artist only? The instructions have warnings about leaving the "Flash-Drive" plugged in when starting the car but I am willing to take a chance versus ruining the IPOD battery by repeatably running the battery down. I have had other IPOD adapters that turn the IPOD off every time so I know it can be done but maybe Hyundai is not that smart. My experience is that the IPOD will turn itself off if left paused when used in the standard place it in your pocket with headphones use. Maybe you have to be under 30 to understand IPOD/ITUNES instructions.
As for the flash drive, just make sure that all the files on there are MP3's. When the music is played, it will display the song, artist, and album information. As for creating "Playlists", try setting them up on the flash drive like they would be on your computer (artist subdirectory and then subdirectory for each album). If that doesn't work then you just might need to have every song in the root directory.

I watched my IPOD go to the pause mode and then turn off after 5 minutes 5 times one night and it appeared to be OK. I wounder if you have to be using the IPOD when you turn the car off for the shut down to work. Maybe if you are listening to the radio the IPOD will not go to pause so it just runs the battery down.
I have tried moving about 20 songs to flash drive. I had to convert them to MP3 format using ITUNES but that leaves two copies in my Library one in the ITUNES format and one in the MP3 format. I then copied the MP3 copies to the Flash Drive.
I could see how to make a MP3 CD but not how to go directly to a Flash Drive which would be a lot easier.
As for the MP3 CD, you should be able to specify what drive the "CD" is in that you are creating. Just specify the drive that is actually the flash drive.

I have two questions:
Since it have a standard USB jack that will even take a flash drive, why does the ipode need a special cable?
I have a Microsoft Zune as well as an iPod. Does anyone know if that will work as well?
Thanks
I found this very odd.
Does anyone know anything about this?

I have two questions. (i guess I could read the manual.. but thats no fun)
1. When I use the voice command no matter what I say after pressing the button, all it says back is, "you can say help at any time" Does the voice command need to be tuned to you voice? Or maybe my mic doesn't work.
2. I have put some mp3's on a memory stick and it work great, but it's not reading the id tags. It only displays the file name. I get the files on a PC and all the id info is stored proper on the file. Is anyone else having this issue?

I'll let you know what I find out.
Has anybody just replaced the speakers? How did that sound?
Has anyone added an amp and do you know how that was done?
Thanks
Works great. I am going to try the standard ipod usb cable just for SAG's.
Please tell me what folder you put the music in on the device for the player to find them. Is it OK to put them in a Music Folder?
Is it OK to nest them further? two levels? three?
I have an 09 Sonata Limited with Infinity Sound system.
Thanks.
How I got them onto the 'Stick" was I just copied them over from MP3 directory on my computer.
I converted my whole ITUNE library to MP3 which made duplicates for almost all songs(Some are protected from conversion). I then sorted by "TYPE" which grouped them together. Cut and pasted them into a directory on my C: drive and called it "MY MP3 Songs. I then made sub-directories from the "MY MP3"files. Example: Christmas, Easy listening, Country, Rock. I then may only place the Christmas on the "Stick" for December then copy the Rock back in January. I could place them all on the stick at once in sub-directories but I used a 4 gig stick so they would not all fit at once. It takes the car about 15 seconds the first time you read the "Stick" each time you start the car. The "Stick" has not been damage yet ( >30 days) by not removing it when starting and stopping the car. The reason I did all this instead of just using the IPOD was the IPOD would not always go off when the car was turned off.
i had a friend who works at circuit city check it out and he said it was weird cuz the head unit worked fine, then he checked all the speakers and none of them were blown. later he found out that the internal amp wasn't turning on but when he hot wired it to turn on it still wasn't powering the speakers although the amp became hot pretty quickly.
im taking it in next week to the dealer for them to run diagnostic but the guy there said the warranty might be voided because the wiring harness had been spiced from when i had a harmon/kardon ipod unit installed.
does anybody know what i can do to fix it if the warranty is voided or where i could find another stock amp?
does anyone know what happened to it?
If you are not going to be honest and hide all of the evidence I would argue that they show you how the Harmon/Kardon unit could have damaged the amplifier.
I may not have understood your story.
I went and test drove the sonata and the accord yesterday, I have some questions about the ipod hookup. I wanted to play with the interface and plugged in my ipod with a salesman cable. I could peruse my playlists and when i plugged it in i got the first track to play --- whenever i tried to select a different track i just kept getting 'connection error' and then it wouldn't do anything. If i unplugged it and tried again - same thing - it would just tstart playing the first track.
Any idea what that means? Was that sonata broken or is my ipod broken?
On a similiar note, what do you all think about the nav integration. I like the big screen vs the 2 line smaller one, but I am dissapointed that you lose all actual buttons to control the stereo. Seems to me like its more dangerous as without tactile feedback you have to take your eyes off the road in order to 'see' the button to push and are more likely to be distracted while driving... any thoughts on this point too?
Thanks all,
brian
Didn't opt for the Nav on my Limited as the technology is changing so rapidly .
I dont know what gen ipod i have, its probably a couple years old in the system screen i see the following:
Capacity: 37.1 GB
Version : 3.1.1
Model: M9268LL
Does that help?
Also, I did directly plug in a USB stick with a couple songs on it and it loaded and played fine.
thanks -brian

Sirius bought XM a few months back and soon will be all one... offering all the same channels.
In the mean time you can get the best of Sirius on XM for $4 more.
One thing I have noticed using my Sansa is the need to go back and get the data right on some of the songs I brought over from audio streams via software.
