Hello, my 01 Tiburon came with the am/fm cassette player. It recently died on me so I want to replace it with the factory am/fm cd & cassette player. Has anyone done this / know if it will work? I know that I will need to get a new radio trim http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-01-Hyund...sQ5fAccessories to fit the larger radio & replace my old one that had the two slots. Is there anything else I need to buy? The wire should be the same right? I've seen radio dash kits like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-01-HYUND...5fAudioQ5fVideo
Do I need that?
Basically I have this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-2001-T...5fAudioQ5fVideo
And want to replace it with this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HYUNDAI-TIB...sQ5fAccessories
Also just to get it straight because I'm a little mixed up...Is the cassette the double din and the cd/cassette the single din?
Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

My recommendation is to just buy an aftermarket stereo then buy the wiring adapter to make it a plug and play install and then I would buy the vehicle specific mounting bracket that fits your current dash setup. I always use crutchfield.com for my car stuff since they sell it all.
But to actually answer your question my old stereo was the cd/tape player and it was considered the double din. Your old one is called a single din. I still have my old stereo from my tiburon laying around. I will sell it cheap. Just make me an offer.

Some people don't like the attention that can be drawn to aftermarket stereo head units. Until Giuliani cleaned up the crime problem, cars in New York City would frequently sport signs saying things like "There is no stereo in this car"
If the wiring is not the same (which would surprise me a great deal) then it will not be hard to adapt the new radio to the existing wiring. The single-din bracket will have to be replaced along with the plastic trim, yes.
If you do decide to go with an aftermarket radio, +1 for Crutchfield, I had good dealings with them in the past.

Good choice. I never liked the stock radio because of it's lack of functionality. However, compared to many aftermarket radios, in terms of clarity of sound, the Tiburon's double-din stocker cannot be beat!
