Hyundai Sonata / Elantra / Tucson / Grandeur / Azera / Kona Key fob battery replacement

These push button start cars have smart key fobs that try to communicate with the car, even when the car is parked. This can drain the battery faster. It is a good idea that once inside the house, to keep the key fob as farther away as possible from the car/garage, to prevent the key to communicate with the car. May as well keep the key fob inside a metal jar or wrapped in aluminum foil inside the house, as the metal cuts the communication between the fob and the car. www.foxnews.com/tech/why-you-...

Knowing to pry that specific side made this extremely easy. Thank you for this.

[@beebette]

Worked perfectly! Getting the cover off was puzzling me so much! Thank you for a quick, informative, and accurate video! Butter knife is key!

[@tkenglander6226]

I replaced my battery the first time a few years ago and the warning about the low battery in the key fob came up again yesterday. All I did was look for your video again, watched it and followed along, and replaced my battery again with your help. Thank you!

[@kdog909]

Thank you for making this video. So easy! I can’t believe car dealerships charge people for something that takes less than two minutes to do.

[@cherylabney3425]

I started 2 videos before finding this one. This presenter made it SO easy, quick! Great, short video that is very visually helpful!

[@erickagarcia7666]

You are an absolute life saver. I had been struggling with a dead key for two weeks. I changed the battery in 2 mins. THANK YOU

[@Snowbird_89]

Out of all KZbin videos, I think this is the easiest method. Thank you so much.

[@Peppermint1]

👍👍

[@goodluckbj]

This KZbinr is spot on! The manual for my 2014 Elantra did a poor job explaining how to open the key fob in the first place. I would have been stuck without this helpful video!

[@Peppermint1]

Glad it helped!

[@jamesralstin1881]

Thanks! Saved me a trip to the dealership.

[@gniktrebor]

Thanks to your tutorial I just changed the fob battery in my 2018 Sonata SEL. My mom also changed the fob battery in her 2017 Sonata Sport. So much easier than I’d imagined, and more convenient and cheaper than going to the dealership.

[@Peppermint1]

Glad to hear this saved a trip to the dealership!

[@anagarda6469]

Thanks so much , the video is so easy to follow, I’m a senior and I did it perfect 👍 save time and money and now my key is working!!

[@g26s239]

I used another video when I replaced the battery a while back but your method is much smoother and better. Thanks.

You're welcome. I'll soon upload a video with complete brake replacement on Hyundai - with Electronic park brake) kzbin.info/aero/PLl-l6yge4ast930y0wMiD9IIlDUy1mPFS

[@martinc950]

Thank you. This worked perfectly on my wife's i30. Battery is cr2032. Useful advice to Store the remote well away from the car to conserve battery life.

[@TheCorker]

Worked perfectly. Thank you! 👍🏼

Thanks, just changed mine, works great.

[@danielhartin7680]

Thanks so much for this. These vehicles go through batteries quite quickly, about one per year.

[@Peppermint1]

Indeed- I recommend, when arriving at home, to keep these fobs in a place at home as far as possible from the car, to prevent them from trying to 'communicate' with the car (even when the car is parked). I also keep my fobs in a thick metal can at home, to make a 'shield' around the fob - for the same reason

[@tkenglander6226]

@@bellezacarino2361 If it's a CR2032, they're located where most batteries are sold. I bought a pack of ten batteries pretty cheaply from an online hardware store site. They're a name brand I've heard of before. Good luck!

[@Pkilla80]

I cleaned out my car the other day and parked it in the garage. Left the key fob in there for about a week and now it's got a low battery It's a 2018. So it's definitely true leave your key fob far away from your car when you're not in it.

[@Peppermint1]

Thks for the feedback. I also keep the keys inside a thick metal jar (or box), that will shield the communication

[@MC90s]

Thank you!! I've had the dealer replace the battery before simply cause I was worried I'd break the fob if I tried. This saves so much time and money!

[@Peppermint1]

Thanks. How much was the dealer asking ?

[@MC90s]

It was at least $35 which is crazy cause at CVS these batteries are very affordable

[@Peppermint1]

@@MC90s Well, $35 is quite some money. But hang on, we just blew a tire and bend a 17" genuine Sonata wheel (thanks for the potholes in Montreal), went to Hyundai for a quote: $550 for the wheel alone! (that's canadian dollars, so about $400 USD). Didn't expect such prices at Hyundai. Got a new tire somewhere else and the wheel straightened at a local shop.
