How To Open A Hyundai Key Fob?

If it’s your first time opening a Hyundai key fob, it’ll be a little tricky for you, but there’s a tried and test method to doing this easily. If you’re going to replace the battery with a key fob, you’ll need a CR2032 battery. Learn how to open a Hyundai key fob and replace the battery below:

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Open a Hyundai Key Fob

• You can remove the metal key by pressing and holding the metal tab or button. Then, use the metal key to open up the back cover on your key fob by inserting the key into the tiny opening and turning it in either direction. The case should pop right open.
• If you drive an older Hyundai model, there’s a small notch along the side of the key fob. You can either use a flat blade screwdriver or a coin to carefully pry open the key fob at the notch.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Replace a Hyundai Key Fob Battery

1. With the key fob open, gently lift the circuit board to see the battery. Remember how the battery is positioned in the key fob before removing it since this is how you will place the new battery into the key fob.
2. Check to see the kind of battery needed – most key fobs require a CR2032 battery. These are affordable batteries that are easy to find at department stores and auto stores around the Atlantic area or online.
3. Place your new battery into your key fob. The battery needs to make contact with all of the connections.
4. If you removed a metal key, remember to replace it when your Hyundai key fob is snapped back together. 

Programming a Hyundai Key Fob

Learning how to program a Hyundai key fob is also tricky at first but it’s quite easy after you’ve done it a few times. Use the following steps to program a Hyundai key fob below:

1. Get inside your Hyundai and close the doors.
2. Using your key, turn your Hyundai to the “ACC” (accessory) position on your ignition.
3. Hold the “open” or “unlock” button on the key fob until your car lights flashes.
