I recently bougt a 2011 Elantra with the standard radio. I would like to upgrade it to a touch screen nav. I've seen the units on ebay, but I haven't a post from anyone that had installed one of those units. Anyone have experience with one of the units from ebay? Also, if I go with Pioneer or JVC, can you get the steering wheel controls to work with those?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome!

Personally, I'd feel a bit odd buying a stereo off eBay (I'd always be thinking someone flogged it), but apart from that, both Pioneer and JVC are quality brands and will work great if installed properly.

You should have no issues finding an adaptor for the steering wheel controls.

If you're in the US (don't forget to fill in your profile!), Crutchfield will have all you need for installation (units, replacement trim bezel if needed, wheel adaptors).

and then I found 5 bucks!

or you can get an oem replacement radio from a better model?

Thanks for the info. I'm leaning towards a Pioneer now after looking at some options.
