Well it might not be the biggest thing but i just put it a JVC H/U and XM raido I my car. It was fun but the dash had a hard time coming out. My next Mod will be CAI and Clear Corners.

Hardest thing with my Radio install was trying to (And failing) move the double din bracket in the back to the single din location. How the hell do you get enough torque on them screws???

Shark01, whatever you do, the adapter fascia they give you will be SHIT. Make sure you get an OEM one from somewhere, even if you have to order it from a Hyundai Parts dealer. The Adapter Fascia's look like CRAP!!!

The swap really wasn't hard, I just couldn't flip thatpart so it's still where it was for double din.

I installed mine myself no problem. And I'm a complete beginner at things like this. The only thing that I had a problem with was I couldn't just match the wires to the harness according to the harness. Koreans must do things differently because I had to look online for what each wire was and match them up that way. That took a while...

Redz: I don't know if this is what you're talking about but I tried to get the HU on the bottom and the little shelf thingy for Jewel Cases on top, but it wouldn't line up so I had to just do it the other way. I think it would have looked a lot better on the bottom

EDIT: Don't double post mang, use the edit feature unkay?

Thortib, which one did you have, the aftermarket fascia adapter that lets you put a single din and shelf in the dual din space or the OEM single DIN fascia?

RedZ, what are you talking about? I got mine at Best Buy (with my discount, wOOt!) and it looks great, with a cd tray under it.

I have yet to see an aftermarket 2 to 1 DIN adapter that looked good for our car. Tell me what brand it is.

Wait, don't you have a first gen?
