Replying to: wininthepines (Jul 05, 2007 12:18 pm) I've had the same problem. The rear hatch has opened several times from accidentally pressing the button on the remote (even though the button must be held for 2 to 3 seconds). Once it stayed open all night in a fairly public place. I've even had to go back to the parking lot at a restaurant to be sure I hadn't pressed it. I now keep my keys and remote on the end of a Kubaton stuck in my waistband instead of in my pocket.

Have not had a problem with the tailgate, ever. My wife keeps hers in her purse, mine is in my jacket pocket with my Camry smart key and a bunch of other keys. I usually have a problem setting off the alarm when trying to open the hatch. There is a 3 second hold time to open the hatch remotely. Since I seldom ever use the buttons to open the car or hatch, if this were a problem for me, I would tape a piece of card stock over the buttons.   For the previous poster, regarding pressing the button while in the car, if the ignition is on, it locks out the remote, including the door locks, just about every car that uses a remote does this. You will also not be able to open the hatch if the car is in gear. The button by the glove box disables the handle in the door, but the remote and dash button still work.   One of the nice features of this fob over the Toyota, or Mazda keys, if the battery in the fob dies, you can stick it in the ignition slot for it to work. I don't know how the Mazda one works, but the Toyota key you need to touch the Toyota emblem to the start button ring and press the start button, and it usually takes two hands to do so, I tried, isn't as easy as it looks.   I have had the doors lock on their own while in the garage though, still unknown how that happens, did it at least twice for me.

Replying to: wininthepines (Apr 27, 2008 6:54 am) My Limited was assembled in November 2007. I took delivery on February 15,2009. To activate the rear hatch I have to hold the key fob button down for 4 seconds. Any thing less and nothing happens. I cannot open the hatch by any means if the motor is running and the transmission not in park. Is this a mod?   John Replies to this message: acdii (Feb 25, 2009 7:44 am)

Replying to: BarnaLloyd (Feb 25, 2009 7:26 am) That is a safety Feature! The hatch should not be allowed to open while in gear, even if in neutral. It does open if the engine is running as long as it is in park. I thought it would be cool one day to pull in the drive and have the rear hatch opening, but found it wont open while in anything other than park. Makes sense, it would suck if you are zooming down the highway and you hit the key fob by mistake and have your rear door suddenly start to open.

Replying to: xquuzme (Feb 10, 2009 6:16 pm) I had my 2009 Veracruz for about 2 weeks before the proximity remote detached and I lost it. As stated before, the dealer wants about $200 to provide a new fob and programming. Has anyone found a less expensive alternative?

Replying to: porger (Jul 23, 2009 5:50 pm) Probably wont for a while yet. Its hard to find wiper blades and cabin air filters, let alone the key fob. Replies to this message: porger (Sep 04, 2009 6:50 pm)

Replying to: acdii (Jul 24, 2009 5:32 am) Well, I broke down and special ordered a new one from the Hyundai dealer (you have to pre-pay). Of course right after I bought the new one, I found my old one but the dealer wouldn't let me cancel the order. So now I have a new one still in the box. I currently have it listed on eBay. You can search on Veracruz Proximity Remote and it should show up. The seller name is porger on eBay as well.
#35 of 37 Key Fob with Remote Start by pinevalleyite Oct 28, 2009 (4:21 am)
Has anyone had remote start installed in their Hyundai Veracruz? My old car had a fob where when I unlocked or locked, a slight horn or chirp sounded. With my remote, only the lights flash. I brought it to the dealer's attention & he thought it had something to do with the remote start so said he'd adjust when I brought in for my first oil change. At that time they couldn't figure it out and had called Hyundai and were waiting for them to call back which they hadn't done by the time I picked the car up & said "next time." Anyone have this happen? Replies to this message: jlindh (Oct 28, 2009 5:10 am) pinevalleyite (Oct 28, 2009 8:46 am)

Replying to: pinevalleyite (Oct 28, 2009 4:21 am) Try pushing the lock button twice. Our Sonata remote locks the door and flashes the lights on the first push and sounds the horn on the second push. I consider this to be a feature so that you don't startle everyone within earshot every time you lock the door. Replies to this message: pinevalleyite (Oct 28, 2009 8:46 am)
