Now that I've been driving my 2011 4.6 Tech around for a bit, I want to comment on the audio system. I truly love the Lexicon sound. But Hyundai totally botched the user functions on this in so many ways, it's comical.
I use an iPod plugged in nearly all the time. So that's the basis of my comments.
1. Every time you restart the car, you need to go back into "Random" mode. What a PITA.
2. If you choose a Playlist and then change your mind once you are inside the playlist and randomly using it for music. You cannot go out and get to another playlist. You have to jump to AM/FM or some other setting. There is no way to get out and choose a different playlist. Really lame.
3. No Bluetooth audio? Must have a cable? Even my Ford's can do Bluetooth and have been for 5 years now.
4. If you are inside of a playlist, but haven't actually selected a song in that playlist, you go to random, the system will do random from whatever playlist you were last in. Not the playlist you are currently in.
5. If you select random while listening to a song, the system thinks you mean random right now.. Not like turning shuffle on and off.... Instead it changes your song immediately.
6. The EQ settings are buried and cannot easily be accessed. So if you decide to change music types from one playlist to another, you have to dig in to change the EQ settings which are not convenient at all to access.
7. When making a Bluetooth phone call, instead of pausing the audio, it just silences the audio but your tracks keep on passing by and you do not come back to the song you were listening too,,,, instead you are now 5 tracks past or more depending upon the length of your call.
8. Is it too much to ask for a method of scrolling/paging through songs easier? Try to start at the top of your list in the A's and work your way down to the G's. You will be there a while. Gonna wear the knob out either by spinning it or paging it. Seems easy to have added an alphabet scroll feature since they already have one in the GPS function screens.
There are a lot more. But does anyone else feel that Lexicon did their job, as it sounds fantastic!!!!! But Hyundai didn't do their job, seems like they had a tire engineer who never used an audio system program this thing.
Are there any software updates out there to fix any of this poor programming?
