Stereo on Santa Fe

Asked by Connie Jun 26, 2019 at 07:49 AM about the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L GL FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My stereo has recently started doing its own thing.
The volume will go up when I’m trying to turn it
down and visa versa. The backlight goes on and
off and the screen will sometimes go completely
blank. Anyone else have the same problem? How
to fix the problem?

I don't know if this will help but I just had a problem with my stereo. I have a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe and my stereo would not boot up. You may need to update your stereo. I have an Advent stereo/navigation system. I read on a forum: 1.) Press and hold your finger to the middle top portion of the screen of your Advent (if you have this stereo) as you start your vehicle until you see it flash a solid green. You will then see a code prompt. Default coded 1630 and then press enter. You will then see a series of commands. Scroll to Update all. Execute. This forces the Unit to reinstall everything from the memory card. It does take some time. You will see multiple updates. (Do Not interrupt or shut off the Unit until Done!!!) The unit will shut down when done and then restart when the installation is complete. This might take a few minutes, Again do not interrupt!! I am no technician or have any knowledge on how this unit works. This just worked on my unit and I am thankful for Patrick Davis who I give credit for this information. He posted this back on 12/11/16 in one of the forums
