ANYONE WHO KNOWS THIS TECHNIQUE - PLS INFORM THE REST OF US. IT COULD MAKE GETTING HOME SOME NITE A LOT EASIER
I don't think there is anything you can do without the scan tool the technician has. I think I heard that if you turn it off and on 10 times it may work, but I don't know for sure.
Maybe you can buy a new battery for the remote?
I want to get another keyless remote. What's the cheapest way of going about this?
Thanks for any suggestions!!
The 01-03 key fob is owner programmable; I can't recall whether you can add a third key fob or not. Instructions for programming the remote on the 01-03 Elantra are here. There is an error in the directions, though, in that it says it works for 01-04 Elantras; the design changed for 04 and it only works for 01-03 models. (I've confirmed this with Anton, the guy who wrote those directions.)
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.
I might would suggest checking Ebay, but be very careful from who you buy from. I heard that dealers charge crazy fees for programming the remotes, but there is a way to do it yourself, but I am not totally sure how at this moment. Although, I have the instructions to the remote somewhere that explains how. Maybe someone on this forum knows.
Here are directions for coding a remote for 2001-2003 Elantra. The 2004 and later models are different and cannot be done without dealer equipment. (The writeup says 01-04, but I've discussed this with Anton, the guy who wrote the article, and he said that when he wrote it in early 2004, he did not realize the 2004 model was different.)
Thanks for any advice!
If you bought the car from a private party, you might ask them. Or call or email Hyundai Customer Support and ask them:
