Have a look at the website below, its the Korean Santa fe website, the music is pretty cool, and compare it to the Australian one: Korean: ad.hyundai-motor.com/cata...opWin.html Australia: www.hyundai.com.au/santafe/

Although the Santa Fe's are already pretty well equiped for the price, they should offer everything else as an option as well. MetalMessiah's Santa Fe

The U.S has the 3.5 engined Santy which I would love to be able to buy, but they don't sell it here so I would have to import it and it would be a left hooker... But at the same time the U.S didn't have the Diesel Santy... It is annoying, but I don't think we'd be able to change them... The main thing is, we still have our very own Santy's to love... Andy...

Monsoon, and I would have ended up changing it out anyway. Plus, it would have been way more expensive then something aftermarket that would have been superior to it anyway.

Now that I think of it, another member posted a few weeks ago that it was going to be offered by Hyundai as part of their Navigation package. Apparantly, Hyundai has deals with Kenwood for the U.S. market (some of their Elantra's and Tiburons come with Kenwood stereo, be it the crappiest ones Kenwood makes). Hyundai is even making a special console piece to house the unit. I'm actually glad they are going aftermarket on this, rather making it in house, or contracting it to Delphi. Delphi = crap! If I run across the post, I'll share it with you. Though the part is intended for the U.S. market, I'm sure that partguy can hook you up with it for a reasonable price. Should work on the Aussie model without a problem. MetalMessiah's Santa Fe

It's a Blaupunkt, CD-drive, GPS Navigation unit (we had it installed under the passenger seat but it's designed to fit a DIN slot in the front console if you prefer). A small black antenna (about the size of a matchbox) is installed on the front dash for best reception. Central Car Radio in Melbourne did the installation and removed it for me last year when I was getting the car ready for sale at the end of the Novated Lease. I recommend them for the installation as they know how to work with a Santa Fe after installing my GPS. Any queries to xgener69@aol.com
