2003 Elantra GT Radio

We have a 2005 GLS Hatch and have the same problem. AFAIK, it's known about. I'll have to check the messages at

I've looked at a number of sites including the one Andy refered to. Some sites say it's the radio, others say it's the signal. Nothing definitive that I've found. I'm considering a J C Whitney component to boost the signal, so I actually opened another string on the same topic. Check "elantra antenna signal booster" posted earlier this morning. Maybe we can all learn something new. Good luck; if you get this fixed please bounce somethnig back to me. If I get the booster and it works out, I'll pass that on.

It's been my experience that nearly all Hyundai radios have poor AM reception.

The Kenwood that came in my '04 EGT isn't good, either.

didnt think people even listened to AM anymore...

It depends. There's a lot of content on AM that's not available on FM. I don't listen to it a lot, but there are times I want to and I expect decent reception.

I solved this problem with the help of a member from Australia. I also live 30 miles from Boston. Are you north or south? Maybe I can show you what I did. Changed the antenna cable from back to front, right into the radio. What a difference!!! Dashboard removal required, but it's not as hard as I expected. See thread named "elantra radio signal booster?? for information from "yellow_elantra" This works!
