#1 of 37 Key Fob is a Nuisance by wininthepines Jul 05, 2007 (12:18 pm)
I've only had my Limited a week but already I've had several instances of annoyances with my key fob.   Twice I have been carrying the fob in my pocket and later found the rear hatch open. Also, I have bent over with the fob in my pocket and turned on the alarm   These buttons need to be recessed or made less sensitive.   Has anyone else experience this type of event?

Replying to: wininthepines (Jul 05, 2007 12:18 pm) You mentioned you have a Limited but not if you have the proximity key. I have the proximity feature and have not experienced anything like what you describe. Frankly, I don't think these buttons are any more sensitive than any other key fob I've owned.

Replying to: carbuyer11 (Jul 05, 2007 6:21 pm) Yes, I have the proximity feature.   Maybe I carry more stuff in my pockets than some, which impact the fob. Replies to this message: mkc99phd (Jul 10, 2007 7:37 am)

Replying to: squidfish (Jul 19, 2007 2:45 am) You'll probably have better luck asking over in the Honda Accord (1994-1997) Maintenance & Repair discussion.   And there may be some info you can scout out using one of the Honda links in the Online Repair Manuals guide.
#7 of 37 Veracruz Proximity Key by ssvc Sep 11, 2007 (5:30 pm)
I have a limited with a proximity key and think this feature is FABULOUS. I have had no problems.
#8 of 37 Proximity Key Fob and the Beep, beep. by jimmyz4 Sep 24, 2007 (9:59 pm)
A great feature. Takes getting used to, but, once you have it you wonder how you got along without it. Like the garage door opener. I love it.   Those of you that don't have it, believe me, you have to have it to understand the love affair.   One thing, when you open the door and want to say vacuum the car, you have constant beep, beep. Same beep as when you leave the key in the ignition with a "key vehicle." I queried the dealer several times and nobody could figure out how to silence the beep.   I finally figured it out - pull on the ignition switch one click toward you. You can still have the fob in your pocket, and the beep is silenced. Guess Hyundai had it figured out all the time to, but, forgot to document it.
#9 of 37 Proximity key word of caution by perdido2key Jan 08, 2008 (7:54 pm)
Our 08 Limited has the proximity key, with two keys (his and hers). The other day she wanted me to lock up the car at a store with my key in my pocket and her key inside the car in her purse. The car WOULD NOT LOCK as long as her key was inside the car even though my key was outside the car in my pocket.  You MUST remove ALL keys to outside the car before the door buttons will work...

Replying to: perdido2key (Jan 08, 2008 7:54 pm) Kinda makes sense, don't you think? I know you'll thank the system's intelligence if you ever leave the keys in the cupholder (when you think they're in your pocket) and the system won't allow you to lock the doors using the black button on the door handles.
