Turn Key or Push Button Decides Everything

With respect to Hyundai, more than any other brand, the deciding factor for the price you pay is not even the type of vehicle and is not even the year of the vehicle. Rather, it is whether you start the engine using the key or the remote. If you use the former, the key will be a blade-shaped transponder key and will fall under our cheap services. If you use the latter, the remote will be the proximity fob that includes the remote functionality and the engine identity and is therefore expensive.

The Immobilizer Gap on Older Models

A range of Hyundai vehicles produced somewhere around 2011 to 2021, mostly but not necessarily all the turn key vehicles, came off the assembly line completely lacking an engine immobilizer. It has been widely known for a few years now that such a circumstance has made them much more prone to being stolen than other models. As far as the key is concerned, the news is excellent, since a substitute for it is purely mechanical and cheap. From the security perspective, it is important to know that there is no software layer underneath the key at all. The company offers its customers a software update through its dealership system, and the mechanic will be able to easily identify yours among them.

What to Tell Us on the Phone

Year, make, and if the car starts with a key or via a start button, these three factors that determine everything else, and with these in your hand, our technician will be able to give you a good quote without even having to move the van. The existence of a functioning key becomes equally important, since making a duplicate of a functioning key becomes easily the most economical option available for this procedure.

Cars Still Under Warranty

There are some drivers who use Hyundai vehicles, particularly modern versions, who find themselves asking whether obtaining a duplicate key elsewhere other than the official Hyundai dealership garage will render the warranty null and void. Even having another person cut and code your key may not be enough for your warranty to become voided. In general, warranty eligibility depends on the specific failure that may or may not occur and if the problem was caused by external influences, and not the place where the non related key duplication took place.

The only case where consulting with the dealer would make sense is if your car is still under warranty and your old remote key became inoperable without any damage to it, loss, or exposure to water. In such a case, the failure might be eligible for the warranty coverage, and therefore, you might get a new fob for free.
