the mode switch button on the steering wheel cycles through the 3 XM channels before getting to the bluetooth connection. \u00a0I know, it may sound like a trivial problem, but it was enough of a problem for me to find a solution.<\/p>\n<p>And I did, so I figured I&#8217;d share the solution I found. \u00a0I believe this solution will work with other Hyundai years and models, but seeing as I don&#8217;t own them I&#8217;m not able to test on those models&#8230; \u00a0But it really comes down to if the radios are similar to this model.<\/p>\n<h2>The New Radio Settings<\/h2>\n<p>Once complete, the following should be enabled on the radio:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>FM1<\/li>\n<li>FM2<\/li>\n<li>AM<\/li>\n<li>Bluetooth<\/li>\n<li>Aux<\/li>\n<li>USB<\/li>\n<li>CD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cautions\/Notes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>To make this change, you need to change the region in which your car radio thinks it is in. \u00a0While I haven&#8217;t found any negative effects from there, there maybe some negative effect I&#8217;m not aware of.<\/li>\n<li>Disabling the XM Sirus radio will erase your FM\/AM radio settings.<\/li>\n<li>Once complete, pressing the XM button will take you to FM. \u00a0However using the Mode button on the steering wheel will skip past XM and not insert FM into that slot.\n<ul>\n<li>UPDATE: 2015-10-08 I noticed today that this isn&#8217;t accurate anymore. \u00a0Now the Bluetooth function has moved to the XM button, and the CD\/Aux button only handles the CD player and the Aux input. \u00a0I&#8217;m not sure what changed, or if I was just not noticing something correctly when I first set this up. \u00a0I did go through the settings a bit the other day so maybe I accidentally set it to a different region than I did at first&#8230; not sure. \u00a0Bottom line is that Bluetooth still works and is accessible, just not as originally stated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>If at any time in this process the menu goes away, you may have to turn the key off and back to the ACC position and start over.<\/li>\n<li>Anytime you change settings you run the risk of causing more harm than intended. \u00a0I hold no liability to any negative effects that may occur. \u00a0That said, I found no issues while implementing these changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to disable XM Sirus radio in Hyundai Elantra 2013<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Insert the key in the ignition and turn to the ACC position (do not start the car)<\/li>\n<li>Turn the radio off with the power button.<\/li>\n<li>Press and hold the #1 and #4\u00a0buttons together for about 1 second.<\/li>\n<li>Release the #1 and #4 buttons.<\/li>\n<li>Rapidly press the #1 button 4 times. \u00a0If all works well you&#8217;ll see the system information screen.<br \/><figure id=\"attachment_1061\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1061\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31831.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-06\" data-lasso-id=\"490\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-CCE1KINQ\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1061\" src=\"https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31831-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"2013 Hyundai Elantra radio system menu\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31831-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31831-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31831-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31831-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31831-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When you see the system menu you know that the key sequence you pressed worked correctly.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li>Press the #6 button to change to the Regional Setup menu.<br \/><figure id=\"attachment_1059\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1059\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31851.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-059\" data-lasso-id=\"491\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-CCE1KINQ\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1059\" src=\"https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31851-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"2013 Hyundai Elantra Regional Menu\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31851-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31851-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31851-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31851-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/promincproductions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_31851-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The regional menu allows you to set the region for the radio.
