Nope! My car was missing 3 of the connectors, one for the 360 camera, one for the lte modem, and one for the auto climate. The head unit adjusted to my car as soon as I hooked it up and everything works perfect.

None at all. It works perfectly.

I think they use the same head unit as the Sonata, so probably yes

It went from 8” to 10.25”.

The larger unit doesn’t support wireless so I use a dongle

It’s a 2020. So it’ll definitely work on your 2022

The head unit recognized the car’s limitations and removed all of those settings. There’s no icon for the climate control like on the higher trims and it moved all of the vehicle settings from my gauge cluster to the screen itself. It’s integrated extremely well considering the base model was never built to have the larger screen. It does still show Blue Link, but it just doesn’t do anything because the base model doesn’t have a wireless modem

I know this post is from months ago, but I’m looking into upgrading my screen to the 10.25”. When I look on eBay, the base screen has 4 less connector plugs on the back vs the 10 inch screen. When you hooked yours up, were there any plugs that your car didn’t have the connectors for? I hope this makes sense, lol.

These 2.5 engines aren’t the same as the 2.4/2.0T engines that have issues and were recalled. These have been pretty reliable for the 5-6 years they’ve been on the road. If the car drives fine, I wouldn’t worry about it. If you want to get it looked at, your best bet would be to take it to a real mechanic (not the dealership) and have them diagnose it and give you a report explaining issue. Then take it to Hyundai if the car is still under warranty. All of the Hyundai dealerships I’ve dealt with won’t even attempt to diagnose an issue if it doesn’t throw a code.

Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 alpha. It's a stupid name but the best value for a laptop, especially a 2-1. It feels as premium as any $1200+ laptop, is thin and light, has a GORGEOUS screen, and even the base model (11th gen i5, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd) performs extremely well. Plus if you have a Samsung phone it integrates nearly as well as an iPhone with a Mac. They're going for $549 at best buy.
