Replacement of 2010 Hyundai Elantra Stereo 

"I need tunes damnit!" Made my day.

Seems like a pretty straightforward guide. My 2010 Elantra radio has been on the fritz for several years, only seems to work when it's really hot out or the car warms up significantly. I've taken it to various mechanics and asked them to check it, and I've been told it probably needs to be replaced, so...I may take the plunge and buy a factory radio like this and follow your guide to replace it myself. Never really been all that handy, but it's worth a shot. Seems easy enough.

Thanks alot for showing me how to open up that case and how to protect the under part of the radio. My 2010 Hyundai Elantra radio is really different from yours but your video was just perfect to encourage me to change my radio myself. My radio would not turn on (although we could see the clock functionning). We bought a used one but not of the same year and it was not a match at the plug in area. So I completely disassembled it from the car thinking about bringing it with us to get one with the same plug. Well, it is only at that moment that I noticed that the radio had a 10 amp fuse. It was burnt. We changed it and it is working A1. Just crazy to having to disassemble the radio to find out there is a fuse behind it. We never saw in the manual of the car that a fuse was behind that radio.

Used this video to get an idea how to replace the AC controls below the radio. This video had everything I needed to get bezel off. Only other step is removing the storage box screws below it to set to the bottom screws. Thanks for posting this, saved my daughter $500 at the dealer.

Thank you for this. Yours is the only video I've found for this model (Blue) so I'm using it as a reference for installing an aftermarket stereo. Turns out many of the reputable aftermarket stereo sites out there try to give you the wrong antenna adapter, so being able to see the wiring setup at 12:03 was a big help in selecting the right one.

"If you're lucky, you won't break anything"😂

HIIIGGHHHH YOOUUUUNN DAYYYYY lol

Quotables such as "if you're lucky you won't break anything", and "That was hard!". Love it

Thanks for making this video. I've always kind figured that cover would just pop off but as firmly as it hold in place, I was always afraid to attempt removal. Now I know how to go about it... 👍🏻 And I'll stsrt with the lower passenger side clip because it seemed to pop easiest. 👌🏻 👊 🇺🇸

the future owner of your car will be very lucky you took such good care of it.

I know defroster grid antennas are pretty bad, but I'm surprised it couldn't pick up anything at all on AM. Does it at least pick up the big skywave signals at night, like 1030 WBZ from Boston?

You might actually be surprised to learn that the number of people out there stealing Hyundai factory radios is probably one. Or two... 😁 🇺🇸

I just had to replace the head unit in my SAAB. Rear channel transistors blew, and Clarion used an obscure transistor pack that's discontinued and has no cross-reference, so I had to replace it with a junkyard one. Was a pain in the ass crawling in ten different 900's, pulling the head unit and everything in the glove box to find one that had the security PIN either written on the head unit or a card in the manual.

Good video. Can the heater/AC control unit below the radio be easily removed once you had the radio cover off? I'm thinking about replacing the unit, and this might be the first step.

Thanks for the info on removing the dash. I'm going with aftermarket as I have the same cold soldering issue on my stock headunit. Why would you buy a used stock unit that may suffer from the same problem?

I don't mind aftermarket radios in some situations, but I hate how they don't match the vehicle's dash styling and look I guess. Everything in the dash from the factory has an overall similar look and feel, all the knobs and buttons and such, aftermarket radios tend to disrupt that, the better units definitely look and work better for sure though. But they will always remain a last resort to me. I've got a weird issue in my Durango with the Infinity Audio system, I've replaced the old and decayed (the foam around the outside of the cones on multiple doors/speakers was falling apart on the larger lower speakers) 6.5in speakers in all the doors with brand new Infinity speakers, but left the tweeters alone since they're still sounding good, however I have a strange issue that was there already before that too, if I hit a bump or rough road section that causes vibration I get a static sound in one or more speakers in the truck, I suspect a bad connection at either the head unit or the factory Infinity amp, so I'll be doing some looking into that when I get a chance on a nice day.

nice video. finally, i can change that old crappy radio.

are you able to provide me with the measurement (length x breadth x height x depth) of the head unit please. Am thinking of getting a replacement unit for my Elantra but need the measurement to confirm that the new unit will fit. thanks in advance

This is very informative. My radio is like yours. But right now, it's saying "Not Ready" when I choose the XM mode, then it beeps and goes back to regular radio. I have a lifetime membership. At this point, it would be worth it to me to get some practice in electronics since I just learned how to solder and I don't want to buy a new radio. I miss satellite radio! Local is just not the same.

Behind the stereo were you able to find a remote wire? I'm trying to find one for my subwoofer amplifier

Is popping off the radio section cover also what needs to be done to replace the little storage holder on top of the dash and just above the stereo in the video? The little piece in mine that holds it closed broke on me.

The CD player in my 2010 Yaris is what's dead. I have a bluetooth receiver plugged into the AUX in jack for my iPod Touch. I wish I had some sort of unit that could take advantage of more of the iPod controls.

I wish I was this smart lol 😂

Haaaaaaaaayundai... too much street fighter, mate?

does the factory stereo in the hyundai has RCA input?

I drive Elantra 2007 with the same designed stereo system. But my stereo is older than yours one in this video. I got 6 cd changer and AUX only. No USB. I wonder if I can buy same this one as yours and replace it with mine. Will it work? And does USB work with simple USB Flash Drives? I mean MP3 music on USB Flash drives.

The CD player in my car gets very heavy use, the radio that came in the car had the same problem when I first got it, had it replaced under the warranty and it has worked fine ever since. I am not to far off of 40000, not bad for a 7 year old car.

I’m having a heck of a time disconnecting the clock too. Can you explain more about how that &@%!! Connector works?

trying to remove the navigation unit from my 2010 elantra, can't seem to get the blue plug in the upper right of the unit out (if you were facing the back of it) any advice?

Planning on installing a mobile ham radio unit in my 2010 Elantra. Any advice on best pathways for running the power to the battery under the hood?

Is there a fuse in the back of this radio?

do you do any aftermarket stereo installs? I have a 09 elantra and I wanted to know everything I would need for a new stereo

My mom has a 2007 Elantra with a very basic stereo. Would you think if we purchased a newer stereo with more features we may be able to get the parts to upgrade it to the one you have? I know 2007-2010 is the same body design, but I'm wondering if she couldn't get some more features just for that low cost. Thinking it might be more complicated than that however, because I assume I'd have to find the USB/Dock or whatever and then find out how to disassemble the whole thing to wire it.

How many “plugs” does the back Of The radio have?

do happen to have wire diagram of some sort wire diagram or is that white wire the main ground? just wondering cause I want install a aftermarket radio

Why did you install a touch screen instead. I am looking for one. Just bought this elantra 2010 need to buy its original touch screen. Any idea where I can buy one?

i may have a couple of questions that i can't seem answer without getting inside the dashboard myself. i am buying a 2009 Hyundai elantra within a couple of weeks and i like to have aftermarket radios in all of my cars. its just my preference, but i was curious about the ipod USB. If it is not plugged into a stereo will it still act as a charger? i may have some more questions down the road.

We just got my wife a 2014 Rav4. It has a real fancy radio with blue tooth. Her iPhone contacts are on the display. She tells Siri to call and she calls. I love it. I want one for my '06 Tacoma. Any brand suggestions? I hear they have DVD players in them also. I have gone on two rides with my Helix. Its so good to be riding again. Weather in New England (Western Mass.) has gone down the tubes again for the forseeable future.

can you explain how to disconnect the clock from the cable harness ? That connector is some oddball that I can't figure out!

That "Unshackled dot org" commercial sounded like the late Paul Harvey... 🤔 🇺🇸

Sorry if this has been asked, but I need to replace the stereo (specifically the lcd is shattered, everything else works) in my 2010 Elantra, but I am having a horrible time trying to find a replacement, all I find are aftermarkets, I want the original, even used, where may I purchase a used replacement online?

Wouldn't mind having the Donald Fegon CD. I'd pay postage.

For a 2010 hayundai elantra aftermarket harness it come with 2 blue power atenna why? How do i go about that

The radio DSP IC needs resoldered. Ive fixed a dozen of those things. Another thing to watch out for, is the 6 disc mechanism will fail. They all do. We get them alot in the shop, and we just rip them out and stick in a new aftermarket radio, with USB, aux, bluetooth audio, etc..

HUN-DIE IS THE HOW ITS SAID LOL NICE WORK WITH THE BIG ASS SCREWDRIVER LOL

GREAT JOB ON YOUR VIDEO BBIHOPPCM'S WORLD!!!!!! YOU ROCK FROM MY NATIVE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE!!!!!!! :) Anita Augenti

Is this factory radio a Double din radio i have the same car i would like to install a double din Pioneer radio

Ok. So mine turns on. But doesn’t play unless it’s cold or ac is on….well. When it was still doing that much. It will play if I press on it. Which is obviously not a workable option. So. What is this hot thing you mentioned.

Same exact car but mine is white and I have 80,000 miles :P

mostly good video but you lost me at " nicotine is bad for your cd player" LOL!

ive got an 09 malibu with 110,xxx miles

after taking that off your car will creak forever now

Two words..AFTERMARKET STEREO!!!!

I purchased one of the Radios on eBay but my car has two extra cables for USB and Aux. There is no slot behind the Radio for that, hence I can't get my USB and Aux to work. The car came with a DVD already installed, but I wanted to use the factory radio so I don't know if extra cables were added during the DVD installation.

Nice work, we will be at Knowledge Fest please take some time to view our page.

Do you still own this car? My 2008 Elantra has 280,000 miles on it... 😮 💪🏻 🇺🇸

How the heck isn't that failed unit covered by warranty? It's only 4 years!!

dude next time get an assistant who can point the camera at what you are doing. it doesn't help if we can't see the cables.

Interesting about nicotine.

Hey it's Hyundai not hyuindai

Funny as fuck hahah

Older cars are a lot easier for radios

This car structure is a pain in the ass.. 🤷🏾‍♂️🥱👌😂

Hi You'd Day... wtf

Hyerrndey

DRASTIC MEASURES!!!!!! ITS SIMPLE JUST PUSH THE REALEASE ON THE PLUG FFS LMFAO

I hate aftermarket stereos, they simply don't match, the esthetic gets ruined. about stolen OEM radios, I usually see piles of Hyundai and Kia radios in the black market. (I don't buy stolen things) but they appear everywhere. there are also grilles and steering wheels. stupid third world country. talking about Nissan, I got a 2005 Primera, it just has 18000(KM) in the clock, the CD player gets stuck every time, the dealership changed the lenses, but there was not good result, but the cause could be the terrible bumpy and holed roads, the car was designed for Europe, not Peru.

Dude never shows how to install the wires nada camera was no where the whole time lol

تصوير غير جيد

Lol dude you mispronounced Hyundai.

ok

Que video mas mierda no enfocas nada de lo que haces

Probably one of the worst instructional videos ever. This moron has no concept of how to film whatsoever.

I pronounce Hyundai as "Honday"
