Comparing the options for a new stereo system in my 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited.

[@fankyousomuch]

As if your project wasn't complex enough, you made a detailed video for us. Thanks Scott, the video is very informative and helpful.

Great video! I traveled the same exact path and am still deciding what I want to do.

I have the navigation unit on my 2012 im trying find an installer for an android head uni tit's a bit difficult tho.

Scott. What are you talking about. Where is the final product?

You freakin rock with the explanations! Thank you!

[@aaronhensley1349]

I got a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. I want a great stereo with apple CarPlay and i was wondering if you had any recommendations?

[@ScottSchramm]

As long as you pick one from a reputable brand such as Alpine, Kenwood, Sony, or Pioneer you should be good.

My wife has a 2013 Sonata Limited one day she heard a few beeps and the music stopped radio still lights up fi ds situatio s just no sound , the tiny reset button did not work ect. I'm just not sure if it is the Amp of head unit What do you think?, Radio or Amp ? Will any unit work with factory. I

[@ScottSchramm]

Try pulling the fuse and see if that helps. You could also unhook the battery for a while and see if that brings it back to life. Otherwise you would need to replace one or the other. Since it’s a digital signal, it’s not really possible to troubleshoot the amp aside from checking that power is getting to it with a multimeter.

Saludos buen video cuál es el size exacto que le cae 9" o 10"

I installed a 9.7" iPad

[@timothyechols4533]

Do you have a updated link to the stereo it takes me to a completely different one

[@ScottSchramm]

Looks like the model I bought was finally discontinued. Here are some new models that are pretty close: DEH-S7200BHS: amzn.to/3w34HBU or DEH-S1200UB: amzn.to/3Oy73im or MVH-X390BT: amzn.to/3wctIdM

Another great video! Many thanks. Just subbed.

i have a 2011 hyundai azera limited, it doesnt have a screen or reverse camera, i want to add both but idk where to order/buy the screen and reverse camera for my car, is there a specific type or i can install any brand?

[@ScottSchramm]

If you want everything in one, just get a double DIN stereo with an RCA input for a backup camera. Otherwise you can replace your mirror with a screen. I made a video about what I did here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZurp5aCe5Z8frc

[@ayhamsarrah1256]

what's your ipad generation ? , I saw that you are using spilt view please answer me because I'm buying an ipad can I do it on first or second generation?

[@ScottSchramm]

The iPad mini in was a second generation, it did not natively support split view, but the iPad was jailbroken so I installed a tweak which unlocked it. The larger iPad I ended up using full time is an iPad Air 2 which was supported. Here are the models that Apple officially support: discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-12181

[@Mzbrezziebaby]

What would you recommend for a 2015 Hyundai Sonata SE. I don’t have much space like you maybe able to do something horizontal! Nice video!

[@ScottSchramm]

The 2015 and up are much more difficult. Here is the dash kit you will need: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PFpGmKh89goKM From there you can use any standard single or double din radio.

[@rasheds9216]

Hi Scott, it's a long time really but I wanted to ask you if we can just mount any 8" Android tablet and install Android Auto on it. My question being, Is there any way I can connect my smartphone with the tablet and connect the tablet with the car speakers. I'm quite a noob here but i need a plug and play solution.

[@ScottSchramm]

I’m not sure about Android. I never liked their short lifespan. I’m sure you could install a custom rom or something to do what you are looking for.

[@jordanr7945]

Do you know of anything about a unit for Apple CarPlay for the 2011-2014 Sonata? Can't seem to find anything but if I can find something before you get back I'll let ya know.

[@ScottSchramm]

There is no way for the factory system in the 2011-2014 to work with Apple CarPlay. You need to replace the headunit in order to add that capability.

[@jordanr7945]

@@ScottSchramm is there something available for the Sonata that has CarPlay as like the center and then adds the 2 air vents and everything?

[@ScottSchramm]

@@jordanr7945 Any double DIN head unit with CarPlay would work. You just have to get the crappy dash kit to hold it.

[@estebanbaltierrez4549]

Great videos, what features do I look for on the stereo to have the most controls on my car like you have on your sonata.

[@ScottSchramm]

Almost every head unit has a 3.5mm plug for a steering wheel control interface input. As long as you have that, along with the PAC adapter, you will be able to retain all the controls.

[@tylerortiz5173]

I need this... Too bad I don't actually own my car yet lol

[@trubble403]

Thank you for the video! If you had to do this again, is there a new tablet that you would use instead of the iPad?

[@ScottSchramm]

I would still go with an iPad but the 9.7" is no longer sold, so I'd go with the 10.2" iPad, 10.9 iPad Air, or 11" iPad Pro.

[@Dudleydogg]

Good Information, My question was how does the Ipad interact with the Radio is the Radio just taking Audio from ipad or can you actually control the Radio from the Ipad and Radio does the XM AM FM etc?

[@ScottSchramm]

The headunit as an app call Pioneer ARC which you install on the iPad. That allows the control. The connection can be USB or Bluetooth. The headunit can connect to AM/FM/XM and the iPad can act as a "controller" to display the song info and allow station changes, etc. Hope that helps!

[@Dudleydogg]

@@ScottSchrammPerfect was wondering how all that worked. Interesting need an option for my 2008 Sonata so still looking. thank you for that info

[@mikemacb7rs4]

Thanks for the video.

[@michaelnorris595]

Hey what does it look like when you turn your ac on??...I want to do this build however I can't imagine you would still be able to see the temperature when I do decide to use the ac...

[@ScottSchramm]

It's not an issue at all. The controls are lower but still 100% accessible. If you have the car in park, the gear shifter is kinda in the way but when in drive its pulled back and much more visible. Here are some pictures of the difference: imgur.com/a/m2qekZH

[@SeligioKul]

Do you have a link to the dash kit with the lowered a/c control?

[@ScottSchramm]

This is the one I bought, unfortunately, it looks like it's no longer available. You could try and message the seller. www.ebay.com/itm/GPS-Navigation-Housing-Finish-Cover-For-Hyundai-SONATA-i45-2011-2014-/120940986929?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137

Hey do you know what kit can you use for a 10 inch

[@ScottSchramm]

The newer iPad is only a little larger, it may fit but not sure. You'd have to get a kit custom made.

[@russellkirby8996]

I actually saw this earlier today and currently am in contact with the seller of this listing to make sure that it is fact the dimensions radio and not infinity. The cost of the parts alone for an aftermarket install is in the $250 range not including the radio itself

[@ScottSchramm]

That deck looks exactly like my OEM dimension head unit. To my knowledge, only the NAV systems had "Infinity", I think the seller just has the name wrong.

[@russellkirby8996]

How much approximately did u spend on parts alone for your aftermarket install?

[@russellkirby8996]

Just curious as to what you did with the original unit that came with the car and if u are interested in selling it?

[@ScottSchramm]

I still have all the original parts and plan on keeping them so if I end up selling the car I could revert it back to stock if needed.

[@theofficialriss2499]

can you drop a link to the dash kit?

[@BilboCameron]

Why go through all that and not change out the stock speakers. I have a 2011 Sonata and the stock system is junk. Drop a set of components up front and a small sub in the trunk. 5 channel amp and it would he lightyears better.

[@ScottSchramm]

I already added two 12's, the rest of the speakers are just fine. It was $50 for the part to retain the factory amp and was plug and play. To replaces the speakers would have been at least $200 plus the labor of ripping apart the doors to install them. Note that there is a BIG difference between the standard stereo and the Dimension system. If I had the base model, I would absolutely rip all that stuff out!

[@CalebCutz]

@@ScottSchramm I recently upgraded using the PAC 4.2 SPDIF converter... But at the expense of losing fader (front to back control). Is this your case as well?

[@ScottSchramm]

@@CalebCutz - Yes, you can't adjust the fader from the head unit, but you can connect the PAC unit to your PC, run their app, and that will allow you to adjust the fader if you need to. (I personally just leave everything centered but if you need to move it a notch forward or backward, go for it)

[@greesemonke3934]

Complains about a double din unit not looking factory... Proceeds to attach an iPad to his dashboard and run with it.

[@ScottSchramm]

Double DIN looks like crap in this car because of the dash kit. Replacing it with the big screen of the iPad makes it look futuristic like a Tesla. When my friends get in the car they think I'm driving something new...they don't believe me its a 2011!
