I have a 2008 Santa Fe with a nice radio that we are quite satisfied with except there is no aux input, and research shows there is no option for that on the 2008 radio short of an adapter kit.

However, I also happen to have a 2009 Accent with the exact same radio (at least it looks like it) only WITH the aux input. But since I don't have a bluetooth system in the Accent (and I do in the Santa Fe) I'm thinking to replace the Accent radio with a radio that has built-in bluetooth capability.

Which leads me to my question...IF I do take out the 2009 Accent radio, can I easily put it in the 2008 Santa Fe and thereby add the aux capability as well?

And is that something I could tackle (being an average driveway mechanic) or should I have someone else do it?

 

The 2 appear to have totally different connectors. So you would probably have to splice all the wires.
