'16 Santa Fe Key Fob Repair

[@lynnpatterson7314]

I really appreciated the level of detail in your video. Too many other videos I saw used shortcuts, like glue, to do the repair, something I didn’t want to do. By showing all the steps in detail, you gave me a great understanding of what to expect, and how to prevent myself from making unnecessary mistakes. I purchased the rubber cover, followed your instructions, and the key fob is repaired. You’d never know it was ever repaired! I saved nearly $400!!! Thanks again for a great video.

[@zekeus7721]

Just wanna add to the thanks, the rubber buttons on my sonata’s key fob had worn off completely, so I bought a pack of two pads for $5 and your video helped immensely with installing. The video on the store page was completely different lol, yours was much easier and safer.

[@nadiarangel5369]

I feel very accomplished! Lol I had gotten the actual assembly pack, but then, after viewing your vid, I changed just the rubber pad. Thanks for making it real to anyone watching

[@martinliehs2513]

It's amazing that we can make remote key fobs where the electronics hold up, as does the mechanical key itself, but the simple $3.00 rubber pad is the failure point. Thanks for doing the leg work on this job, and sharing your findings!

[@FriedGreenElphie]

Just saved my mother $472. Have never felt more useful in my life, haha. Thanks so much for this MASSIVE help!

[@joetmountolivevideos2479]

Thanks. I asked my son to watch your video and a short while later he handed me a nicely repaired key fob.

[@bretcolburn2987]

Thanks for including the detail about where the connecting pegs were located. Made things much easier. No gluing needed.

[@bretsalowitz]

I just bought an extra set and yes it's definitely expensive. My older fob is now missing the lock button. Will go ahead and order that one piece. I am grateful and thank you so much for doing this video. Will order it asap

[@amadairisnunezcastillo7951]

👏🏼This tutorial made the job so easy! specially as you show the real struggle in some parts of the process. I just finished replacing mine & it worked perfectly 🎉Thanks!!!

[@johncanning2532]

Thanks for taking the time to do the video !! Fixed mine and just wanted to say thank you.

[@shalaynaballard4889]

So the place /website he mentioned is good ? I need to get one

[@RobertoSabasArtist]

Fantastic! Thank you for the excellent instructions...I just successfully changed mine out and the pad is flush on all four corners. Only had to file down the center two pegs. I used a file on the end of a chiropodist tool--it can be searched on Amazon with this key phrase "Ingrown Toenail Tool Kit, File & Lifter Set." Doesn't have to be any exact brand, just make sure there's a file in the kit. I have a second pad for when my wife's keypad needs changing out.

Glad I could help!

Great channel--very useful and handy and friendly!@@JamesDvorak

[@petermullins4284]

These key fobs should be investigated by a state Attorney General. They only last a couple of years and when you go to the dealer, they will charge you $ 350 - $ 400 to replace it. Borderline criminal. I bought the rubber cover on Amazon 2 for $ 7 and did it myself using super glue and patience. I will never buy another Hyundai because of this.

[@janreznak881]

I hear you brother neither will I but in addition to my fobs being destroyed I have scoring in all 4 cylinders and even though I am the original owner and the car has always been (over) serviced at the stealership Hyundai told me to fuck off when I lodged a just out of warranty claim.

[@supercrackerkawasaki8888]

My local locksmith has replacements available for 130 programmed and all

​@@supercrackerkawasaki8888im sure he just change the hard shell and 130 is a lot

[@tiffanydeskins5422]

I repaired mine, thank you! Mine looked almost exactly like that. To get it flush just push down on the sides hard after putting everything in place.

[@ericclenney318]

Thanks James, best video I have found on replacing this. I have the same exact key fob and problem with it as yours and your video will be a big help. The comment by Peter that this should be investigated by the state attorney general is so spot on I totally agree however I live in California and your lucky if any attorney general in the state will investigate even cold blooded murder, not an exaggeration.

[@NefertitiKoopa]

Thank you for posting this, I bought a replacement fob case and was struggling to pop my used one open since I didn't want to break anything inside. With this video, I just popped the rubber buttons out of the replacement case and put them on my original fob fairly quickly! Now, I just need to order a second button replacement piece for my spare fob...super clutch video, I'm glad I came across it.

[@christinavolking9706]

Thank you so much!! This was so easy to follow and made perfect sense! Fixed my key and saved myself $400!

[@mibudyt]

Thanks a bunch! Fixed the main and spare Hyundai keys taking the steps you suggested, by just replacing the keyboard for them. Key indications: filling the little-legs before mount it back, cleaning everything of old keyboard scraps, pealing off the damaged keyboard as the "entry-point", hence not damaging the case and the silver ring. Thanks again! 🍻

[@dhtm3577]

Thanks!!! Both FOBs for our Sonata were useless. I appreciate the detail. All done and like new!!! 🙏

[@dessam8381]

Thank you! I just replaced mine and took off the plastic part to chip more two times at least to make my repair looked nicer. Came out well! Cheap fix.

[@NaturalGoddessGl0w]

Sir…you made this really easy to do and replace I thank you so much. Took maybe 5 minutes

[@ReviveReside]

Thanks! This was Super helpful! Fixed both of our broken keys. Now what to do about the crappy paint job that’s peeling on our Hyundai…

[@karenallen4891]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed!

[@dirklancer]

Great video. I used a tartar scraper from a dental tool kit (that I usually use for miscellaneous craft projects and tiny repairs) to pry off the components and clean out the detritus. It worked really well for this. Thanks again.

[@yuliejulie]

Excellent info and video! I found and bought the the rubber piece. Followed your directions and it worked!! So happy! Thank you!!

[@tracyjones8593]

Thanks a million. Following your video I was able to get this done in a few minute.

[@artofdealing]

Thank you so much for your video! Worked like a charm.

[@JamesDvorak]

Glad it helped!

[@maritimeguy766]

Brother thank you…I needed this lol.

[@lackingpoint]

Great video. The only thing I'd suggest is if you use a pick and pop out the retainer ring first, it makes removing the rubber easier.

[@danielemerson5790]

Worked out great for me, thank you!!

[@giuseppinadisanto6545]

Great video. Thanks for all the tips.

[@000028H]

You're working way too hard! Just take the rubber cover off and put a new one on...no glue needed or desired, making for easy removal and replacement; the rubber will hold it and the silver ring in place. I bought a pack of 10 covers cheap from the Hyundai store online. When one wears out I just quickly put another one on.

[@thejayharris]

Would you happen to have the website with the 10pk?

[@000028H]

10 for 12.99

[@000028H]

Ebay

[@frankgrimes1385]

@@000028H so did you get the 10 pack from eBay or the Hyundai store?

[@tantra123]

Yea agree that... I change in 5 minutes. No need to push like that and mine fit perfectly. But nice tutorial btw. Cheers

[@SergioSanchez-wd1nc]

Awesome video thanks👍👍

[@christinadib6380]

Thanks for the video it worked out great for me. Time will if it stays or not. Thanks again.

[@damianbabblingbrooks]

Awesome. Less than $20 and 30min and I have fobs that work like new.

[@philbass8105]

Where can you get the rubber pads? Can't find on Amazon

[@JamesDvorak]

You might try searching Amazon for "autohaux rubber pad keypad" and see if you can find what you need.

[@000028H]

Ebay

[@000028H]

After you cleaned at the first time there is no need to clean it again, maybe a light brushing with a soft brush, if that.

[@sybman59]

the best method. thanks

[@renatococchi2207]

grazie per il bel tutorial. Ho fatto anche io il buon lavoro.

[@danaferguson7765]

Just replace the keypad.
