Pretty annoying when a car that advertises its technology so heavily comes with a defective radio that randomly fails because you dared connect a phone to the USB port. Worst part is, the radio doesn’t have a proper part number in Hyundai’s system, so there’s no eta on when the replacement part will arrive, and it takes weeks for one to come in.
After replacing the first defective radio on October 7, the new radio worked fine until November 17 when the display went black, and the entire radio/touch screen rebooted. This happened a second time on December 7, at which point the dealership was contacted. I have just finished up at the dealership and have been told to wait for another replacement radio to show up. Here’s hoping the third radio they install in my car finally works.
Update from May 20, 2021: The dealership eventually got an update from Hyundai and were told to try replacing the transmission range sensor. Having done so, the issue appears to be solved as it has not re-occurred since.
