Get any after market you want. Buy the kit to install it in your car. If you go factory from a junk yard. You make have to have it programmed at a dealer.

Unless the radio is defective, or, in the case of an aftermarket radio, wired incorrectly, there is no reason for a radio to cause a major battery drain. Yes, they do have a constant source to maintain memory, but that current is minimal. Any radio, operating properly and installed correctly (meaning that the main power is on a switched circuit that goes off with the ignition switch) should be fine.

2010 Tucson Hyundai battery drain somewhere. Changed the battery and alternator and still after sitting for a couple of days it goes dead. Has been in many times for same issue and Hyundai can not seem...

Hi,

we have the same problem. Replaced the battery a month ago and it died yesterday again. The car is at the dealer now. They are trying to blame us for the problem. I have a feeling they know exactly whats wrong, but they are not willing to tell us, since its still under warrenty for 1 month.
Suggestions are;

- the radio might drain your battery, even when its off.
- do you have a homelink? If so, it might be wired the wrong way.

so far thats all i found out by surfing the web.

My battery goes dead every week in my 2005 Hyundai Tucson. I have a drain somewhere and the dealer can't find it. Thanks for any help.

This seams to be a common problem with these. There was a problem on some Tucsons with a mis-aligned underhood switch that is connected to the alarm/security system. If it is misaligned, the security system is constantly drawing power but there are no outward signs that is doing so. Worth a look! :)
Also it could be the Radio . Those radios are known to drain batteries.
Also i have heard the door locks are a culprit.
I would check all three.
First i would pull the fuse for the radio and see what happens see if the battery gets drained still. if it doesn't get drained? Cool! Replace that radio with an after market one. If it does get drained ? I would pull the fuse for the door locks. and try that. The door locks on those vehicles are known to be speratric and can lock an unlock multiple times until the battery is dead. If thats the case with you? Bring it to a dealer and tell them what you did as far as testing.
Let me know what happens as far as outcome.
Please leave me a great feedback on here.

The transmission filter is inside the transmission. You have to drain out the oil and remove the transmission pan and gasket. The filter is made of metal guaze and is screwed/bolted to the underneath of the valve body.
