And who stares at the display while they're driving? You're supposed to be watching the road. The speakers, not the electronics are what makes the difference in the sound.

Cheap shots at Hyundai are fine, because they make some great cars and will have the last laugh. And coming from a VW person it's a bit rich. Don't worry mate I'll wave as I go by while you're waiting for the tow truck. Been there, done that. So there. :oP I have one of these in my car and it works like a charm.

Stop being such a knob. VW_Freak: the headunit is not that important in sound quality, a good speaker and amp setup will make a good sound out of a basic head unit. Stop being such a knob.

But seriously, its no big deal. We have suppliers and spec sheets that can easily add such devices, but they add to the cars price. Electronic parts of a car cost twice as much as most other mechanical/panel parts... obviously. The biggest argument against such things is... young demographic.. usually buy after market stereo systems. If you are happy with stock "enhancement" fair enough. A $100 dollar supplier cost stereo system such as this translate to about $700~800 extra cost to the overall price of the vehicle... or you can just buy a "much better" after market one and pay $600~1000 and have something you actually selected and prefer. But good on Hyundai anyways... Its good that they feature it.

This unit is the Holy Grail of car audio!

Speakers were just fantastic. Anyone who thinks Koreans puts crappy stereo in their cars should really drive a Sonata Elite, I bet you it will be miles better than any car 10K more expensive.
