#1 of 45 how to program remote and spare key ??? by doublesharp Apr 23, 2007 (9:03 am)
Hi. I've got the job of selling my 85 yr old aunt's 2004 Santa Fe base model 2wd. She has lost both remotes and has only one key. Will probably find them where we find her teeth, phone and several sets of housekeys.   Does a Santa Fe take a special key blank or can I just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and have one made? I see remotes on Ebay for around $15-20. Can anyone tell me how to program a remote for or is that a dealer only profit center?   I posed this question on ask yahoo and was told to turn the ignition key from off to on 3 times in 5 seconds and then the remote's led would flash. Then press any button on the remote and it would be programmed. That seems too easy. My google search of programming instructions came up empty.     Thanks in advance and any advice is appreciated.

#2 of 45 Programming a Remote by oracle_of_rock Apr 30, 2007 (10:16 am)
A couple of years ago I purchased an extra remote off Ebay for my 02 Sanata Fe AWD V6. I think I paid about $15 for it. I was told that the dealer must program the new remote. Next time I was at the Hyundai dealer I asked about it and was told that it would cost $90 and that the remote I had bought was the wrong one.   Although I never mentioned it to the dealership, their attempted "con-job" cost them the sale of a 07 Sonata Limited. It was the correct remote and $90 to program was just outlandish. I feel the dealership was overcharging because I didn't buy the remote from them for $100+. Won't being going back there for anything!!   My wife uses a key made at our local Walmart Supercenter. It doesn't have the plastic fob on the one end but it works fine.   Rick Replies to this message: doublesharp (Apr 30, 2007 4:44 pm)

Replying to: oracle_of_rock (Apr 30, 2007 10:16 am) I had one made at home Depot and it didn't work. I'll give them another chance next time I'm over their way. I hate a dealer that screws you on the small stuff and if it really is neccessary to have the remote programmed by a dealer it looks like the Hyundai has a little larceny in their heart. Has your experience with the 02 Santa Fe been positive?

Replying to: doublesharp (Apr 23, 2007 9:03 am) I purchased a remote off Ebay a while back for my old Toyota Rav4, and the seller provided the instructions (TSB from Toyota) for programing when I ordered. However, I'm not sure how easy it is for the Santa Fe, check out http://www.hmaservice.com/ and look at TSB 03-90-020 -- it describes "The security system keyless adapter cable (SPX/Kent-Moore P/N 09900-21300) is a special service tool (SST) that is used for programming new keyless entry remote transmitters to the factory security systems. The keyless adapter is used in conjunction with the Hi-Scan Pro (with Hi-Scan SOL Pro Software Version 09-29-03 or newer) and Data Link Connector (DLC) Cable." Guess that's why it's $90 at the dealer.
#5 of 45 Santa Fe Remote by oracle_of_rock Apr 30, 2007 (7:05 pm)
Last summer I programmed a remote for my 03 Camry. I think someone on Edmunds.com told me how it was done or pointed me in the right direction to obtain the instructions. It took me about 10 minutes to do it. Odd that you can do it for a Toyota and not a for a Hyundai   I do agree with you about the need for special equipment. That's what they told me (or I read it somewhere) when I inquired about it.   Equipment aside, $90 a pop is still to much money. I'm quite sure they were sticking it to me because I didn't buy the remote from them. Keep in mind that I already discovered they had lied about it being the wrong remote.   Outside of the poor gas mileage (I've yet to crack the 19 mpg barrier), our Santa Fe has been fairly reliable. We did have to have it towed twice (Hyundai roadside assistance covered the cost) due to bad batteries. By the way, the same dealership that was about to overcharge me for programming the remote also tried to charge me $40 to install a replacement battery. That charge was removed once I told them I wouldn't pay it.   Keep the faith -- Rick   Replies to this message: dezman1 (May 01, 2007 4:32 pm)

Replying to: oracle_of_rock (Apr 30, 2007 7:05 pm) Hey All,   Just picked up a extra spare remote plus key for a 07 GLS from the dealer. The Part No. 95411-0W100, List Price-$165.05, blank key Part No. 81996-2B000-$12.32.   Fortunately, having connection with the actual pres of dealership, I paid discounted price which you may still consider high but I knew it was going to cost us anyhow. Came out to $109.38 + $8.17.   Somehow my wife had asked the sales folks at the time of signing but forgot about it till they called to pick it up. They had to re-program my other original remotes along with the new one at the same time which took maybe 10 minutes.   Why we need a 3rd remote? I have one for my other Nissan Pathfinder and since now have a teen driver, having that spare remote/key is handy. Then also I sometimes misplace my own ones and grab the spare one rather than hunt through the house for it.   Saw one on ebay for cheap but not sure if was the effort.
#9 of 45 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS - IN CANADA? by jonathann Mar 01, 2007 (3:47 pm)
We just purchased a 2007 Santa Fe GLS AWD. The dealer did not mention setting automatic door locks and the manual makes no mention of them. Is this something that is standard on US models but not included in Canada? Replies to this message: psyfactor (Apr 05, 2007 5:00 pm) jonathann (Apr 16, 2007 2:58 pm) jcwsbltd (Jun 08, 2007 9:48 pm)

There's no mention of them in the US manual either, but I had the dealer set them yesterday when I had the oil changed.
