Problem with Hyundai Creta's factory head-unit Hi all,
Facing issues with my 2017 Hyundai Creta OEM ICE. It switches off / on, on its own. I visited 2 audio mechanics at Karol Bagh and Palika Bhawan and both mentioned that this is a software problem and the software will have to be reinstalled. While they quote a cost of approx. Rs. 5000 for software reinstall. I decided to visit the Hyundai Service Centre. They reinstalled the software at a fraction of the cost but also said that if the problem persists, the HU will have to be replaced. Attaching a video link for reference.
1. Anyone else face a similar problem? Can the OEM unit still be salvaged?
2. If not, do I buy a Hyundai unit (which I was informed costs close to Rs. 50,000) or an aftermarket one given that better units are available at a much lesser price.
3. If an aftermarket unit, I have shortlisted Pioneer DMH-A4450 BT. Views? I enjoy my music but don't want it to be too loud.
4. Will I have to change speakers, mic and the reverse camera?
5. Finally, is there any additional software and associated s/w cost that is not informed upfront by the accessory dealer but informed once the new HU is fixed in the car. I did hear a heated argument between a customer and dealer while i was window shopping for an alternative HU.
