Sirius hardwire to Monsoon
Greetings!
I have a '04 Hyundai Santa Fe with the Monsoon head unit. I've been using the Sirius Sportster portable unit through a FM modulator for a while now, and well...the sounds sucks. The obvious answer would be to junk the FM modulator and somehow hardwire the feed to my stock system. But how to do? I checked the back of the head unit hoping to find a AUX input of some sort but alas, nothing. I gotta believe some you auto audio peoples have come across similar situations...how would you go about hard wiring a sat tuner into a existing system? |

Are you using FM wireless or the hard-wired FM relay solution?

Try running a search for this phrase at google, yahoo:
hyundai OEM interface Returns quite a few hits. You should be able to find an adapter that will allow you to plumb analog audio out of your Sportster, using a 3.5mm stereo to RCA adapter cable, into the stock HU. In my experience that will sound better than FM modulation. JD tdstr wrote: John Durbin wrote: Are you using FM wireless or the hard-wired FM relay solution?

Actually that is exactly what I would like to do. Except, I looked at
the back of the HU and did not see any other jacks for the exception of the antenna jack. I googled your search but and found some wiring harness info and Hyundai PC peripherals but that's about it. Are you saying there is a special wiring harness that could be used to patch in the sat radio, just like a CD changer?

Not just a harness but an interface module that either plugs into an
extra port on the back of the deck - which probably won't look anything like an audio jack - or T's into an existing harness. The module has to be able to communicate over the HU's databus so it's a smart interface rather than just a harness. The module would then provide you with RCA inputs, and you access the AUX in from the HU by switching to CD2 or AUX or whatever input logic the HU comes with that the module can take advantage of.

My first look on the back of the HE I didn't notice any other
connections other than antenna and the main interface. I'll have to take another look just to make certain. A interface that T's into the main harness might be my only avenue at this point. Thanx for the insight.
