I’m 66 and just ordered my new battery using the link provided. Now instead of buying a $90.00 battery at dealership, I will use the money for fuel and lunch!
I can't thank you enough for your clear video. The owner's manual for the 2020 Santa Fe was useless; just said stick a flat tool in the slot......what slot. I struggled for over 20 minutes using brute force and was afraid I would crack the case when I finally found your video. Once I followed your instructions I was done in 2 minutes. Thanks again.
Thank you kindly for this video. I was able to R/R the 2032 button battery without destroying the fob. My daughter is a very happy camper because now she will not need to make an appointment and spend her ching ching. : )
Thank you so much, Mine died during severe weather here in Canada, But tomorrow morning I am buying new batteries and installing myself, Loved the straightforward clear and concise instructions from you, working with a 2018 Kona. Today's update do not use cheap Dollar store batteries they don't work. Went to an auto parts shop and they gave me the right ones. I installed myself following this video, and works perfect. Again thank you so much. Cost me around $5.00.
Thank you for the clear and concise instruction-I was able to click the link provided to Amazon and order the specific new battery which should be here tomorrow. I plan to watch your vehicle reviews in coming weeks. Thanks again!
Couldn't figure out how to open the cover on the battery, started to pry it. Just need to slide it out. Great design, I almost mangled it. Many thanks!
Wonder if the new FOBS do a lot more since my 2013 Santa Fe fobs still work with original batteries yet the 2020 Kona fob already required a battery change
Couldn't get mine to pop open like that with a screwdriver. 2020 Kona. Didn't want to force it too hard and break anything. Glad some who watched your video had success. I did not.
I have a 2020 Santa Fe. I lost one of my "smart" keys and was looking to replace it. I am using my spare, but I need to replace the one I lost. The dealer wants over $400 for a new one and then $129 to program it! That is ridiculous, but that is why dealers are there; to GOUGE you. I found a couple of OEM ones on Ebay for about a hundred bucks. However, you have to be sure to get the one that matches the frequency of the car. I contacted a couple of these sellers and they said that you have to have a number and it's on the INSIDE of the fob. I looked at the fob and it is really scary because it's sealed pretty tight. I did a search on UA-cam because it seems there is a video for doing ANYTHING in the world. I knew that there must be a trick to opening it. I watched it, saw the screwdriver go into the slot and how EASY it opened. Well, I hate to say this. Mine didn't open like that!! I put a flat head screwdriver in that slot, twisted it and it BROKE the little tab that the screwdriver needs to use to open it. I guess that they have to be put together very tight in case it gets wet or something, but I didn't go ahead and go further. There is a locksmith that I am going to go see because he told me on the phone that he can get me a fob for far less than the dealership and program it for far less than the dealer. I hope that he can open this one up, he probably does and knows how because he does it more than I have done. Why can't things be simple in life?? Thanks for the video though. At least I know how to NOT do it next time. Meanwhile, I am still looking for the fob that I originally lost. It's got to be in my house because the car won't crank without one being in it. I even took my two cats aside and said, "Guys! I need your help! Daddy misplaced his smart key for the Santa Fe. Since you guys are so low to the ground, how about looking low and I'll look high and see if we can't find it! There is a big can of Lil Friskies in it for the one who finds it for me! How about it?" They looked at me and said, "MEOW!" and walked away! 😻😸
Most Hyundai key fobs run on a CR2032 battery. These are cheap batteries that are easy to find in Fernley or online. that the battery is making contact with all the appropriate connections.
Replacement done, the key fob flashes red when buttons are pressed. I can manually open and lock the doors when pushing the buttons on the door and start the car, but the remote will not open or lock the doors. What´s wrong?
You have to remove the little panel next to the handle. It has a think under that you pull and then pull the cover as you pull the handle. To start your car just push the button with the key.
Buy Battery from Amazon: amzn.to/3iMRYYu
Confirmed these batteries work
Thank you so much for this video. I'm an 63 year old woman and they wanted to charge me 90.00. Just to change it, again thanks so much😊
There's a senior discount at age 65. 10% off😊

Your instructions were the best! I was able to replace batteries in both fobs in less than 5 minutes.
You should have also mentioned what type of battery the fob uses.(CR2032)
It says it right on top of the battery. This video was for how to get at it, not every aspect and detail.

Thank you for the easiest way to explain how to change the battery. Simple and straightforward. Much appreciated

Excellent instructions!! Made the switch over very easy. Thank-you!
Thanks, the manual has none of this info. Made the job very easy
Literally it doesn't it's like they want you to go to the dealer for this and probably charge $50. Smfh
Thanks for the help! I was afraid that I might break it. It took 10 seconds after watching your video.
The only video that's really easy to follow and swap.
Thank you so much! Other videos didn't show how to get it open.
Better than the owner's manual instructions!
Thank you! I just saved $180.
Fantastic video. Worked a dream on both my wife’s Kona remotes. Thx heaps
Your a life saver thank god these fobs don’t use those $30 dollar ones like Chevy fobs
Very informative!! The opening trick is useful!!
Awesome video big help! Also found the batterys at Dollar General 2 pack for $5!
Wonder if the new FOBS do a lot more since my 2013 Santa Fe fobs still work with original batteries yet the 2020 Kona fob already required a battery change
Thank you for posting this video! Great Explanation, Easy!
Thank you! My key fob is different , but it’s Hyundai . Your method helped me. Big thanks !
Thanks!!!!!! Thought my car had issues. You are a life saver!!
Thanks! This method helped me with my 2018 Elantra GT's Smart Remote. It's the same but with slightly different internals.
Easy instructions...straight to the point! Thank you!
Thanks, nice to see someone else do it as I have a tendency to use too much brawn for stuff like this.

This is great. You saved me a lot of time & headache.
Thank you! The manual actually has the wrong instructions for my 2019 Santa Fe! :-)
Bro u just changed the game with the left turn with the screwdriver. Wow
Thanks - that was a piece of cake after your explanation.
Thank you for this video! Gives confidence to car owners everywhere :)
Happy to help!
Thank you so much! Easy directions! 🔑
Whoa, great explanation!!! Thank you so much, you saved me some money 😄
Thanks, simple, to the point, and easy to follow.
Lost my fob but still had key. Bought another fob and now found the original. Do I have to have the found one programmed to open doors, etc.
Thank you so much for this explanation ! Very helpful for my Verna key
Thanks so much!!!!!!! Got it fixed!!!!!!
Worked for my 2020 Veloster key, which is very slightly different.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
If you do not have a flat screw driver, the key actually works pretty well.
Thanks so much for your easy instructions!!!
Happy to help!
Soooooo helpful. And it only cost me $7
This video was perfect, thank you!
Thank you. Much better than the manual.
Thank you! Great video!
Thanks, you made this "easy".
Thank you very much! It's a big help!

you made it so easy man, thank you!!
Thank you that was very easy!!!
Easy instructions thank you 😊
Thank you! It's really great video, it helped me a lot.
Why god o why to they make it so hard. A small easily accessible/seen compartment just like a kids toy would work fine.
Thank you! This helped greatly!
High-five 👋 great video
Thanks George
Thanks a lot for best vedio
Thank you! It worked!!
One minute👍🏻
It worked. Thank you.
You’re a godsend!!!
Thank you for this video.
Muchas gracias!!
Battery size?
Im glad I kept researching one video had guy pop sides I tried and was like No way the sides felt like going to break and I get cut
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Great informative video
Thank you brother!
Thank you
What if it breaks while trying to open it?
And thank you! 🙌🏼
Replacement done, the key fob flashes red when buttons are pressed. I can manually open and lock the doors when pushing the buttons on the door and start the car, but the remote will not open or lock the doors. What´s wrong?
Driving a 2017 i30 by the way with just a button to start the car, no key insert.
Thank you so much!!
Thanks!
The tip of the key has a screwdriver tip @:36 you don't need a screwdriver
Thank you!!
thank you :)
Very Thank you
I didn't even know that was an extra key in there
Thank you!
Thanks
It works 😊
thanks,sir
You can actually use the tip of the key instead of a flat head and push up!
Is this George from Bitcoin??? Sounds just like him
❤
My cover snapped. It’s the i30 proximity key
Didn’t work for me. Kept opening the other side and couldn’t get to the battery without moving the motherboard.
Why didn't you mention what kind of battery these keys use so we can buy the correct button battery in advance?
George is that you?
Good!!!!
It doesn't work for my Venus
Why is it so hard to put mine back together 😭😭😭
I dint knew key is battery powered, untill i saw the low battery alarm in my car dashboard..
D-O......Where to use the emergency key ? No key slot in doors, dash or hatch.
I'd like to know as well
You have to remove the little panel next to the handle. It has a think under that you pull and then pull the cover as you pull the handle. To start your car just push the button with the key.
The video would of been better if you let us know the voltage of the battery . 2032 ??????
Voila, not wa-la!
