- These push button start cars have smart key fobs that try to communicate with the car, even when the car is parked. This can drain the battery faster. It is a good idea that once inside the house, to keep the key fob as farther away as possible from the car/garage, to prevent the key to communicate with the car. May as well keep the key fob inside a metal jar or wrapped in aluminum foil inside the house, as the metal cuts the communication between the fob and the car. www.foxnews.co...
Knowing to pry that specific side made this extremely easy. Thank you for this.
I replaced my battery the first time a few years ago and the warning about the low battery in the key fob came up again yesterday. All I did was look for your video again, watched it and followed along, and replaced my battery again with your help. Thank you!
Cheers
Worked perfectly! Getting the cover off was puzzling me so much! Thank you for a quick, informative, and accurate video! Butter knife is key!
Out of all UA-cam videos, I think this is the easiest method. Thank you so much.
👍👍
Thanks so much , the video is so easy to follow, I’m a senior and I did it perfect 👍 save time and money and now my key is working!!
glad to hear
This UA-camr is spot on! The manual for my 2014 Elantra did a poor job explaining how to open the key fob in the first place. I would have been stuck without this helpful video!
Glad it helped!
I used another video when I replaced the battery a while back but your method is much smoother and better. Thanks.
You're welcome. I'll soon upload a video with complete brake replacement on Hyundai - with Electronic park brake) ua-cam.com/play/PLl-l6yge4ast930y0wMiD9IIlDUy1mPFS.html
I started 2 videos before finding this one. This presenter made it SO easy, quick! Great, short video that is very visually helpful!
Thank you for making this video. So easy! I can’t believe car dealerships charge people for something that takes less than two minutes to do.
You are an absolute life saver. I had been struggling with a dead key for two weeks. I changed the battery in 2 mins. THANK YOU
Welcome
Thanks to your tutorial I just changed the fob battery in my 2018 Sonata SEL. My mom also changed the fob battery in her 2017 Sonata Sport. So much easier than I’d imagined, and more convenient and cheaper than going to the dealership.
Glad to hear this saved a trip to the dealership!
I don't understand why anyone gave this thumbs down because it's an informative video. Thanks for taking the time to show this.
Cheers!
Life isn't all about thumbs up or down. Thank you to this guy!
@@ChrisOhMy Welcome!
The ones that voted it down are all liberals....thats just the way they roll
Thank you my friend. My batteries went out recently. Fixed the problem in 2 mins thanks to your video.
Welcome!
Thanks for your clear explanation and demo. I viewed several videos before yours, but yours was specific to my needs and clearly explained and demonstrated how to change the battery. 👏
Appreciate the feedback. All the best and don't hesitate to contact us on forums for questions about Hyundai repairs www.hyundai-forums.com/forums/#hyundai-models.122
Thank you. This worked perfectly on my wife's i30. Battery is cr2032. Useful advice to Store the remote well away from the car to conserve battery life.
Thanks so much for this. These vehicles go through batteries quite quickly, about one per year.
Indeed- I recommend, when arriving at home, to keep these fobs in a place at home as far as possible from the car, to prevent them from trying to 'communicate' with the car (even when the car is parked). I also keep my fobs in a thick metal can at home, to make a 'shield' around the fob - for the same reason
I cleaned out my car the other day and parked it in the garage. Left the key fob in there for about a week and now it's got a low battery It's a 2018. So it's definitely true leave your key fob far away from your car when you're not in it.
Thks for the feedback. I also keep the keys inside a thick metal jar (or box), that will shield the communication
Thanks! Saved me a trip to the dealership.
Thank you for uploading this. I was able to change out my replacement battery in my key fob and it works great. Thanks again.
Welcome
We just bought a Hyundai Sonata and our keyless entry fobs both indicate 'low battery' on the instrument panel when we turn the car off.
We'll be changing batteries in both FOBs very soon...
Thank you!! I've had the dealer replace the battery before simply cause I was worried I'd break the fob if I tried. This saves so much time and money!
Thanks. How much was the dealer asking ?
It was at least $35 which is crazy cause at CVS these batteries are very affordable
@@MC90s Well, $35 is quite some money. But hang on, we just blew a tire and bend a 17" genuine Sonata wheel (thanks for the potholes in Montreal), went to Hyundai for a quote: $550 for the wheel alone! (that's canadian dollars, so about $400 USD). Didn't expect such prices at Hyundai. Got a new tire somewhere else and the wheel straightened at a local shop.
Thanks, nice and easy. However, you should NOT be touching the surface (contact areas) of the battery with your fingers. Grab it on the sides.
Thanks! Great advice on getting the cover off -- I cracked mine a few years ago trying to follow Hyundai's instructions, but your way worked perfectly.
Glad it worked well!
Thanks for the tip about car proximity. I had a feeling that my fob was dying prematurely.
Very nice video. Short and clear. Thanks!
Welcome
Thank you for the tutorial, saved me from making a trip to the dealer! 👍
Cheers!
Nicely explained, thank you.
God knows I've used this video at least 3 times now. Thanks for your help.
Cheers
that last time I had to change the batteries I tried separating it from the non-metal side. This was much easier... and made less damage.
I just had the battery low light come on in my 2017 Sonata. This worked perfectly!
Thanks for taking the time to upload this.
Cheers!
Can you tell me please where can i buy the battery?? I have a Hyundai sonata 2015
Johnny Michael same man
@@bellezacarino2361 If it's a CR2032, they're located where most batteries are sold. I bought a pack of ten batteries pretty cheaply from an online hardware store site. They're a name brand I've heard of before. Good luck!
Thank you for this video. I just changed mine today. You saved me time and money both. 😊😊
Glad it helped!
Thank you for a clear, simple explanation! Much appreciated.
Welcome!
Thanks so much for this. Hyundai charged me to do this 🙄. Now i can do it myself
Thanks! Just commenting so I know what date I last replaced the battery 😅
Thank you for showing this. The battery case has it opposite with the + and - than you show. Yours is correct!
Thanks!
Very clear, no guessing, blessings to you thanks
Thank you so much! I would have had no idea how to do it, to be honest.
Came across this vid. Very well explained and easy to follow. Thank you!!
Welcome
Thx for this! For me, it was best to open it with an old credit card. The knife was damaging my key fob at first.
You just saved my Monday morning! Many thanks!
Thank for this. Helped my change my best battery. Very easy
Welcome
Many thanks, just got my Tucson both remotes battery replaced and worked like a charm .
Cheers!
Thank you.
I must mention that this is a poor design by Hyundai. I feel that after several battery changes the friction fit of the case will wear out.
Thanks. If you want to actually go to where you will see how to do this, go to the 45-60seconds beginning around 1min 32.
Thanks very much! Very, very helpful! Very good photography and lighting, too!
It took me 1 minute. Great guide - thanks! :)
This video helped me appreciate just how much better the design is in Volkswagen cars - from the key to the engine, better all round.
Thank you .. this worked for my Sonata 2015 keyfob! Good video .. Helped alot.
Welcome!
Life saver right here thank you
Excellent video. Truly appreciate clarity and warning tips.
Thank you so much for this video. I didn’t have to wait for the hubby to do it and I did it myself with no problem!!! I’
Congrats! Tell him you did it, men appreciate when women do stuff like this Cheers
Btw if your key fob dies and the car thinks the key is not there, the engine will not start (says key is missing) - an *emergency override* is to flip open the center console, insert the key fob upside down into the little slot, & push down until it clicks into place. The car will read your key even when the battery is low. Then you can start the engine! 👍🏼
Good tip however that applies for models prior to 2013-2014. My 2015 with start button no longer has that slot inside the center console. To start it we have to push the start button with the fob itself
Thanks, just changed mine, works great.
The best way to open it is this way!
Mein Hyundai meldete: "Fernbedienung zu schwach". Als Elektro-Ing. maß ich die Spannung ohne Belastung: 3,05 V. Mit einem Lastwiderstand von 150 Ohm war die Spannung nur noch 2,30 V. Mein Fazit bei etlichen, neuen 2023-Knopfzellen: Mit 150 Ohm Belastung müssen die alle noch mehr als 2,80 V anzeigen, dann sind die Batterien gut!
My Hyundai reported: "Remote control too weak". As an electrical engineer I measured the voltage without load: 3.05 V. With a load resistance of 150 ohms, the voltage was only 2.30 V. My conclusion with a number of new 2023 button cells: With a load of 150 ohms, they all have to show more than 2.80 V, then the batteries are good!
Simple and straight forward instructions. Thanks!
Welcome
Thanks for the video. It save me time and money!!!
I was waiting to see the knife going through his fingers🤣🤣🤣
This key fob has been used on several Hyundai cars, starting from around 2012. It has been introduced in several years, depending on the model.
What type if battery is it?
Wat battery u need
Thanks for a helpful video!
Worked flawlessly!! Thank you and a Happy 2020!!
Happy New Year!
Thank you the car manual was not helpful but this was. Worked perfect!

Perfect!
Worked perfectly. Thank you! 👍🏼
Thank you so much, appreciated buddy!!
Thank you so much. This was very helpful.
UA-cam University strikes again! Thank you kind sir!
Thank you . Very nice explanation . 👍🏻
Is there any way to pull the key out when it’s stuck? Dont know what happened but no matter how hard I pull the key is stuck inside even while pushing the little button.
Try pushing the button with something sharp that can fully depress it. The small button has to 'sink' in order to unlock the key, pushing with your fingernail may not be enough. It is all mechanical, I don't think the small button can get 'broken', just needs be pushed down all the way
Perfect! Thank you so much!
Thank you!😁
Umm...the best tool to use is the actual key that you pull out. You simply put it in the groove (not pushed in the slot) and twist, and the fob pops apart. Your way works, but MUCH more difficult.
Thank you for the tip and your instructions
Thank you it is working with Hyundai IONIC electric to.
Great
Thanks so much. Easy to understand video.
Welcome Joe
Tried this on my fob - slight proble the little button to remove actual the key is not sticking out as before? So the key slides out does not lock in because that little button is set in. Any suggestions?
Remove the key, then try first to push down on the small button with a pin, it may get stuck, see if it pop back up. This button has a tiny spring inside. Then slide the key inside and force it by pressing the fob against a table. May also try splitting the fob and see if the button moves freely on its spring - careful not to let the spring jump from there
@@Peppermint1 thank you- worked like a charm!🙏🏼
Thank you for making it so easy.
Welcome!
Thank you, this helped me a bunch!
Welcome, see my other videos for Hyundai cars. I'll soon upload a video with complete brakes replacement ua-cam.com/play/PLl-l6yge4ast930y0wMiD9IIlDUy1mPFS.html
Thank you very much. Worked like a charm.
Welcome!
Thanks for the great tutorial.
Welcome
Thanks. Just enough info to do it correctly. ;)
Thank You
Awesome! Thanks for the vid👏🏻
Thank you. It was helpful
👍
Are any of these very useful videos done with people who speak good clear English?
Thank you easy peasy.
My house is not 164 feet long. I would have to put the key at my neighbor's house! LOL
That would not be convenient indeed. Use a faraday box to keep all fobs. Do not use Faraday pouches, these wear of from use and let signal pass after a while
Worked great for me, thanks for the video!
Thank you so much !
What kind of battery is that
