Hey,

Hoping someone much more knowledgeable than myself may have a solution to my problem.

Roughly three weeks ago the speakers in my 2013 i30 Tourer stopped emitting any sound.

I first noticed it when turning the car on and I was met with silence. However, turning off and on again fixed it on that one occasion. The on-off fix only worked the one time and I've since been driving around in silence. Although, maybe a week later I turned the car on and there was audio again, but once turned off, it has been back to complete silence.

The head unit still functions totally normally. Bluetooth connects, I can make/answer calls etc. Just no sound.

I've tried checking the fuses and they all seem ok. I can't seem to find any way to fully reset the head unit. And I can't find any answers online in regards to the same model and issue I'm having.

Any help is super appreciated!

Any warranty left?, jump on the phone now

You've encountered the P.O.C (piece of crap) scenario GD-01 units are problematic, if you're lucky you could be just within warranty (might only be 3 years on head unit ) and Hyundai will replace the unit for you but if not my suggestion would be to purchase a GD-03 unit from Stanvac Wreckers and replace yourself.

Damn, exactly what I didn't want to hear.

Unfortunately the 5 year warranty ran out in May, but I reckon you're right and the head unit is only covered for 3 years anyway. I'll still give the dealership just in case.

Thanks for the heads up on the GD-03 unit. I'll definitely have a look into that. Looks as though it's a decent upgrade with Android Auto etc which I always wish I had!

You're welcome Stanvac Wreckers are pretty reliable and they're not in the habit of cutting the USB lead like some of the others have been doing.
