My partner has a 07 Hyundai Getz and I wanted to change the CD player because the 2011 model has a unit with bluetooth and ipod connection.
So I found the perfect one on Ebay. It was from a 2011 Getz with only 219km on the clock (no typo, it was smashed by a salesman at a Hyundai dealership) Anyway, it didnt come with the security code pin, so I called the guy that sold it to me and gave me the VIN number so Hyundai could look up the PIN by the car.... well so I thought... Supposivily Hyundai doesnt record this information so if you loose your PIN number they have to pull your cd player out of you car and check the serial number to transpose the PIN... All good and well, except... when you pull out the CD player the metal rail that the CD player sits in rips the serial number. (you need the last 4 digits) So now i've got a CD player has what looks like to be one missing digit from the serial number... I'm dropping the CD player off to Hyundai tomorrow to see if they car work it out... worse comes to worse they give me 10 different security codes to try... I would have bought one new if it wasn't priced at $950! I paid $120 for this one... and honestly think it isnt worth any more than 40 bux to make! I honestly dont know why these thing need security codes. who on earth would knock one of these off??? Sorry about the long rant, just pissed at Hyundai that they don't keep this sort of information. ^ my dilema... -------------------- 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Active 2.2 CRDi 6spd Auto, Ocean View 2014 Hyundai i30 elite , 1.6 CRDi, 6spd 5dr Hatch, Dazzling Blue 2009 Hyundai i30cw SX 1.6 CRDi 5spd 4dr Wagon, Hyper Silver 2007 Hyundai Getz S 1.4 DOHC 5spd 5dr Hatch, Blue 2005 Hyundai Elantra elit�, 2.0HVT 5spd, 4dr Sedan, Ebony Black 1998 Hyundai Excel GX, 1.5 DOHC, 5spd, 3dr Hatch, Red |

950 quid? Hope it can perform certain other "favors" for that price. Yowza.

Wow, you might want to consider something aftermarket!
I was shopping for a new radio in my car cause the one i got randomly cuts out and i found this really nice sony for about 150 bucks. It had bluetooth, wireless data transfer and a aux plug in on the front. Pretty much the same thing or a little bit more then what that one i see might offer... -------------------- Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.

That really does suck! I'm hoping there is a way for them to get that figured out for you. Personally I probably would have just gone the aftermarket route myself!

I just got back from the dealer amd have 10 codes it could possibly be.
I would have went down the road of aftermarket but the car has steering wheel controls. Ive heard the aftermarket kits for the steering wheel controls can be a bit slow...

Honda does the same thing. The real reason is that since Warranty swaps theradio out when it goes bad, the PIN number will not work with the new radio. So they ship a new card. If you don't have the card, you have to remove the radio to get the serial number. It sucks, for sure, but there's a reason for it.

I found out the reason Hyundai doesnt keep the codes attached to the VIN details is because these units are fitted here once they arrive in Australia. If you need a PIN for any of the newer Hyundai's they have it no problems.
Well its all working now! The first three digits were 249_ so it was just a matter of entering in the code until it accepted it. After three attemps it locks you out for an hour. So 2 hours later i got the code as 2497. I thought if i unplugged the unit it would forget tge 1 hour wait but no. So all good finally! -------------------- 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Active 2.2 CRDi 6spd Auto, Ocean View 2014 Hyundai i30 elite , 1.6 CRDi, 6spd 5dr Hatch, Dazzling Blue 2009 Hyundai i30cw SX 1.6 CRDi 5spd 4dr Wagon, Hyper Silver 2007 Hyundai Getz S 1.4 DOHC 5spd 5dr Hatch, Blue 2005 Hyundai Elantra elit�, 2.0HVT 5spd, 4dr Sedan, Ebony Black 1998 Hyundai Excel GX, 1.5 DOHC, 5spd, 3dr Hatch, Red |
