How do I find out the manufacturer of the radio in my 2008 Santa Fe? The radio has
XM Satellite radio and I have XM service and want to download a manual for the radio, but I need to know the hardware manufacturer’s name. There is no name on the radio itself and the Santa Fe manual doesn’t provide this information. I emailed Hyundai and they told me to contact the dealer we purchased from but I don’t want to because of a bad overall experience with the dealer.
Cristina, the only way to find out specific information about a factory radio would be to contact the dealer. If you don’t feel comfortable contacting a particular Hyundai dealer, simply call another Hyundai dealer in your area. Not all dealers are the same when it comes to customer service, some are great and some aren’t. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Hello Cristina. I think that the manufacturer’s name you are looking for is DELPHI.
Michael, thanks for the car stereo information contribution!
Have you any information about amplifier (in and out ) socket and wiring diagram? Santa fe with factory amplifier.
Sohi, unfortunately, we don’t have this information but maybe someone from the Modified Life community can post that information here. Good luck.
I purchased an aftermarket radio and gps/dvd for a ’07 Santa Fe , in the install it asks for two wires to be installed to the wheel + (red wire), and wheel – (black wire). I believe this is for the stereo controls on the steering wheel, does anyone have a color code for the steering wheel wires or diagram or advice on which wires I need to connect these to, perhaps one just attaches them to the existing wire harness without going to the steering wheel wires. thanks and much appreciated.
I have a 2008 Santa Fe with the Infinity system. Is the XM radio built into the head unit or is it a separate attachment? I am trying to add on an iPod adapter. Thanks.
Mike, here is the bluetooth transmitter you need to hook up an Apple iPhone/iPod to your 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe:

If you’ve never installed car audio before, we advise you to take your car to an experienced mobile audio installer. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Do you know of an iPOD adapter for the 2008 Santa Fe with navigation and XM satellite tuner (eg, I have the GPS model). Thanks.
Pete, as far as we know there isn’t an aftermarket adapter that is compatible with a factory navigation and XM tuner system. Good luck on your search.
Hi, I just purchased a new Santa Fe 2009 and I would like to hoop up my amplifier along with my woofer. Is there a way I can plug it in? The amp works with RCA wires along with a trigger wire but I do not know if the radio has any RCA output for an amp. Thank you very much in advance. Dominic From Canada
Dominic, most late model vehicles do not have rca outputs on the factory radio to feed an audio signal to your aftermarket amplifier. You would have to install a line out converter to supply an audio output. Here is the Line-Out Converter you need:
Scosche 2-Channel Speaker to RCA Line Out Converter
When splicing in the RCA Line Out Converter, tap your factory rear speaker wires to get a full range audio source. We suggest you invest in some solid wire taps that wont come loose. These wire tap connectors will allow you to tap into wires without cutting and installs in seconds by hand with no crimping or tools required.
If you’ve never installed car audio before, we advise you to take your car to an experienced mobile audio installer. Hope this helps. Good luck.
On the Scosche RCA Line out converter, is it possible to also use that for just a basic 3.5mm jack to rca adapter. I really want to be able to hook up any mp3 player but there is no aux in this car. I’m looking for the simplest quality solution.
David, the Scosche RCA line out converter is used to output an audio signal to an external amplifier. It is not used for inputting an audio signal to your 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe factory radio. Unfortunately, a basic aux input is not available for your 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe but an Apple iPod adapter is available. Here is the Apple iPod adapter you need:
Bluetooth Transmitter for 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
If you’ve never installed car audio before, we advise you to take your 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe to an experienced mobile audio installer. Hope this helps. Good luck.
