Quick question for 2013 owners

[CC4.6]

1. Does the head unit still "black out" occasionally.

2. Does the surround sound still switch off after mode changes.

Just wondering if Hyundai has addressed these wide-spread problems in newer models.

I have had my 2013 R-Spec for a week now and I have not experienced any of these things you are asking about. I have really been switching modes too (Playing)

I have only experienced interference on all modes (only twice) - that has been the only issue so far.

Lost all sound once in the 2013 Equus. It came back after turning engine off for a couple of minutes and restarting. It happened several times with the 2009 Genesis.

I have never been alarmed by this problem. There must be a bunch of computers in these cars. Have you ever had a computer that didn't have to be rebooted on occasion?

I have had to replace all of the computers in the 1996 BMW 850 ci.

Not one problem with my 2013 in any regard (knock on wood).

about once a month nav screen will reboot. one time no audio but that was cured with pulling the memory fuse briefly.

I think it would get confused and reboot if doing too many things at the same time: start car, look for ipod, "agree" to not use the system while driving, switch to back up camera all concurrently, that would spazz it out. so I now turn off the audio and hit home button before parking and then do the other stuff in turn sequentially

I know I am not a 2013 owner. However as a statistical control, I have not had either of those symptoms occur in my 2012 with Technology Package.

I haven't noted those problems with my 2013 Genesis, built in late December, 2012.

I've had my 2013 for about 5 weeks and none of these issues have occurred.

It's been perfect, (except for as yet unresolved issues with Bluelink which render it almost unusable)

I am not sure if everyone realizes, but this item is was not a defect, but a "feature" of earlier audio systems:

2. Does the surround sound still switch off after mode changes.​

Also, I think it only applies to Tech Package audio, where the surround sound mode goes to a default each time the car is started, and does not remember the last surround sound mode selected when the car was turned off.

I've had my 2013 R-Spec for about 4 months now and I have not experienced any of these things you are asking about. On the other hand, I don't drive much but have done a lot of mode changes (mostly between USB & XM) when I drive.

09 here with freshly updated Amp. I have not had these problems since my amp was re-programmed in 2013. In 2012, I had some problems with no audio and no voice commands. 2013 reflash fixed them all...as a control again.

I've had my 2013 R-Spec for a little over 2 months and have not noticed any of those problems.
