    I am looking to add an aux input to a 2007 Santa Fe, stock radio.

    Anyone know if there is a CD Din on this unit?? (the car is not here at
    present).

    There seem to be din jacks out there on eBay, showing a simple 8pin din..
    with 2 rca's in.. that s/b easy to make...

    Advice, thank you!

    on many cars that is possible, but we don't know which
    unit is in THAT car. Yes it is possible to make an
    adapter. you can not be sure that any adapter on E bay
    will be compatible, in fact it might wind up shorting
    out the radio or the car electrical system.
    DIN wiring is not standard on any system and you are
    better off buying an adapter that was made specifically
    for the model of radio you have.
    what model radio DO you have? That is where you
    start.
    DO NOT TRUST VENDORS ON E BAY WITH
    YOUR CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM!!!!
    Be very cautious of any item offered on E bay, you
    might wind up with a cloud of smoke and melted
    wiring. Very expensive to repair.
    Now if you buy an aftermarket radio specifically
    intended for that car, and it has RCA inputs for a CD,
    you will be much safer.
    OR buy the stock CD player from Hyundai.
    another issue is the stock speakers which are rather
    low quality and low wattage rating. You are going to
    want to change those also. The speakers in my Hyundai
    are rated 3 watts, those are the factory speakers.
    CRUTCHFIELD at one time offered technical
    advisers to find the exact model radio and adapter
    or CD, amp that will fit a specific model car
    without the confusion and short circuits. That's
    a good way to go compared to buying (????) off
    e bay. The technical service is free, and could save
    you a huge headache.
