Hyundai car audio, CarPlay and remote start

Hyundais give you a lot for the money, but the base audio is usually where they saved. We upgrade Elantras, Sonatas, Tucsons, Santa Fes and Konas in our South Gate bay.

Know your system

Depending on the year and trim, many Hyundais came with a premium system from Infinity or Bose. Those use a factory amp and a set speaker layout. Base systems are simpler.

Newer Hyundais also tend to have the screen built into the dash, sometimes tied in with climate or vehicle settings. So the first step is always finding out what your car has.

A Kona or Elantra is a small car with thin doors. That actually makes speaker upgrades pay off fast. Add some sound deadening and the doors stop buzzing, the bass tightens up and road noise drops.

Keep the screen or swap it

Most newer Hyundais already have CarPlay and Android Auto. For those, we keep the factory screen and focus on sound: speakers, an amp and a compact sub, fed by a DSP or line output device.

Older Elantras, Sonatas and Tucsons without CarPlay are often good candidates for a new receiver. With the right dash kit and harness, we can keep steering-wheel controls. If your Hyundai has a factory backup camera, we check whether it can stay connected.

If you are not sure whether your Hyundai has a premium system, look for a badge on the door speaker grilles, or just send us a photo of the dash.

Better sound, same car

Factory Hyundai speakers are thin. A set of Alpine components with a small amp gives you real detail and volume without distortion.

For bass, a compact powered sub under a seat is our go-to in an Elantra, Kona or Tucson. It adds low end and you keep the trunk or cargo space. In a Sonata or Santa Fe there is room for a small box if you want more.

Dash cams are a popular add for Hyundai owners. We hardwire them clean. We also install Viper security and keyless entry. For remote start, many newer Hyundais are push-to-start, which needs the right bypass parts.
