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 )

Thanks

Mark

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

Welcome marabak and congrats, just take it back to your dealer when convenient, after trying a few other usb devices...

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 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.

Oh I see, hopefully we can sort you out then..

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

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 

Thanks

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.

... 90 day warranty ...

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

[marabak]

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)

Your £5000 is about $8900 here in Australia.
