Hi guys

Newbie here, just literally bought a 58 plate i30 SE and drove it home. I am having issues with the USB socket also (I haven't tried the aux yet), where the connection appears to be very temperamental and connecting/disconnecting constantly. I've had a go at removing the unit but I can't quite seem to do it. I was wondering how this is done (without me damaging my lovely shiny new car :D)

Thanks

Mark

I think the USB port is a bit fussy have you tried a different USB device ???

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

I don't have anything else suitable at the moment, but I did order a USB stick from Amazon last night which is my intended use eventually. I was using my phone at the time though, with the same USB cable that I use for charging and/or connecting to my laptop and there isn't an issue there.

Thank you :D Unfortunately, my dealer is around an 80 mile round trip. If push comes to shove (i.e. it is expensive and/or I discover something else in the meantime), I will take it back. But if it is something that I can fix myself relatively quickly and cheaply, I hope to save myself the petrol and time.

Make sure that the usb stick is correctly formatted to FAT32 ( don't use usb3 drives ) and only put compatible songs on the stick otherwise the player will continually crash.

Thank you Craig. I was trying with my phone, which I am not sure what the file format is but I doubt it is FAT32. My new USB stick arrived today (One Day shipping FTW), so I'll format it later this evening and give it a go :D

Hi guys

Thank you for the help, apologies for disappearing over the weekend.

I formatted a 64GB USB stick and dumped some music on it, and it is working fine. So I am guessing it is an issue with the phone's format or something. I'll just buy a cigarette lighter charger to charge my phone now (using it as a Sat Nav drains the battery something silly).

That's providing I don't keep leaving the boot slightly ajar, leaving the boot light on for 36 hours or so and draining my battery completely :( Not that I am speaking from personal experience or anything  :whistler:

Thanks

Mark

Hi Aquablue, thank you for the information. Unfortunately, I bought the car from The Car People in Manchester, which is more of a car-supermarket than a Hyundai dealer. I'll definitely keep this in mind though for when the car is out of the 90 day warranty and I need something fixing.

What is a 58 Plate :confused: only second hand cars under 2 or 3 thousand $ have 90 day warranties here in Australia.

58 in the UK indicates that the car was registered in the second half of 2008 (September to be precise). The car was £5K, which judging from other similar cars around with similar ages and mileage seemed a reasonable deal, although I don't know how that translates into Australian dollars.

The manufacture's warranty has obviously expired, but this 90 day one is provided by the place I bought the car from. This is my first car, admittedly, but I think this is pretty standard in the UK (unless you pay extra for the 1, 2 and 3 year warranties on offer)
