'16 Santa Fe Key Fob Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The little rubber or silicone buttons on both fobs for our '16 Hyundai Santa Fe rotted away so that they both became unusable. New fobs cost a FORTUNE! So, I fixed old ones and saved a TON of money. I won't be able to make much of a judgment on the replacement pieces until they've been used (and abused) out "in the wild" for a while. How they hold up in pockets and purses will be the real test. #keyfob #hyundai #santafe
I really appreciated the level of detail in your video. Too many other videos I saw used shortcuts, like glue, to do the repair, something I didn’t want to do. By showing all the steps in detail, you gave me a great understanding of what to expect, and how to prevent myself from making unnecessary mistakes. I purchased the rubber cover, followed your instructions, and the key fob is repaired. You’d never know it was ever repaired! I saved nearly $400!!! Thanks again for a great video.
Just wanna add to the thanks, the rubber buttons on my sonata’s key fob had worn off completely, so I bought a pack of two pads for $5 and your video helped immensely with installing. The video on the store page was completely different lol, yours was much easier and safer.
I feel very accomplished! Lol I had gotten the actual assembly pack, but then, after viewing your vid, I changed just the rubber pad. Thanks for making it real to anyone watching
Just saved my mother $472. Have never felt more useful in my life, haha. Thanks so much for this MASSIVE help!
Thanks. I asked my son to watch your video and a short while later he handed me a nicely repaired key fob.
Thank you for the very thorough tutorial. I replaced two fob covers seamlessly using this video.
It's amazing that we can make remote key fobs where the electronics hold up, as does the mechanical key itself, but the simple $3.00 rubber pad is the failure point.
Thanks for doing the leg work on this job, and sharing your findings!
Thanks for including the detail about where the connecting pegs were located. Made things much easier. No gluing needed.
I just bought an extra set and yes it's definitely expensive. My older fob is now missing the lock button. Will go ahead and order that one piece. I am grateful and thank you so much for doing this video. Will order it asap
Thank you for posting this, I bought a replacement fob case and was struggling to pop my used one open since I didn't want to break anything inside. With this video, I just popped the rubber buttons out of the replacement case and put them on my original fob fairly quickly!
Now, I just need to order a second button replacement piece for my spare fob...super clutch video, I'm glad I came across it.
Thanks James, best video I have found on replacing this. I have the same exact key fob and problem with it as yours and your video will be a big help.
The comment by Peter that this should be investigated by the state attorney general is so spot on I totally agree however I live in California and your lucky if any attorney general in the state will investigate even cold blooded murder, not an exaggeration.
👏🏼This tutorial made the job so easy! specially as you show the real struggle in some parts of the process. I just finished replacing mine & it worked perfectly 🎉Thanks!!!
Thanks for taking the time to do the video !! Fixed mine and just wanted to say thank you.
So the place /website he mentioned is good ? I need to get one
Thanks a bunch!
Fixed the main and spare Hyundai keys taking the steps you suggested, by just replacing the keyboard for them.
Key indications: filling the little-legs before mount it back, cleaning everything of old keyboard scraps, pealing off the damaged keyboard as the "entry-point", hence not damaging the case and the silver ring.
Thanks again! 🍻
I repaired mine, thank you! Mine looked almost exactly like that. To get it flush just push down on the sides hard after putting everything in place.
Thank you so much!! This was so easy to follow and made perfect sense! Fixed my key and saved myself $400!
Great video. I used a tartar scraper from a dental tool kit (that I usually use for miscellaneous craft projects and tiny repairs) to pry off the components and clean out the detritus. It worked really well for this.
Thanks again.
Fantastic! Thank you for the excellent instructions...I just successfully changed mine out and the pad is flush on all four corners. Only had to file down the center two pegs. I used a file on the end of a chiropodist tool--it can be searched on Amazon with this key phrase "Ingrown Toenail Tool Kit, File & Lifter Set." Doesn't have to be any exact brand, just make sure there's a file in the kit. I have a second pad for when my wife's keypad needs changing out.
Glad I could help!
😄same here!@@JamesDvorak
Great channel--very useful and handy and friendly!@@JamesDvorak
Thank you! I just replaced mine and took off the plastic part to chip more two times at least to make my repair looked nicer. Came out well! Cheap fix.
Sir…you made this really easy to do and replace I thank you so much. Took maybe 5 minutes
Thanks!!! Both FOBs for our Sonata were useless. I appreciate the detail. All done and like new!!! 🙏
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed!
Excellent info and video! I found and bought the the rubber piece. Followed your directions and it worked!! So happy! Thank you!!
Thanks a million. Following your video I was able to get this done in a few minute.
Thanks! This was Super helpful! Fixed both of our broken keys. Now what to do about the crappy paint job that’s peeling on our Hyundai…
These key fobs should be investigated by a state Attorney General. They only last a couple of years and when you go to the dealer, they will charge you $ 350 - $ 400 to replace it. Borderline criminal. I bought the rubber cover on Amazon 2 for $ 7 and did it myself using super glue and patience. I will never buy another Hyundai because of this.
I hear you brother neither will I but in addition to my fobs being destroyed I have scoring in all 4 cylinders and even though I am the original owner and the car has always been (over) serviced at the stealership Hyundai told me to fuck off when I lodged a just out of warranty claim.
My local locksmith has replacements available for 130 programmed and all

@@supercrackerkawasaki8888im sure he just change the hard shell and 130 is a lot
Great video. The only thing I'd suggest is if you use a pick and pop out the retainer ring first, it makes removing the rubber easier.
It would be advisable to remove the battery first before working on any electronic gagdet. Great video though. Ill work on my car key with your guidance video.
Brother thank you…I needed this lol.
Great video. Thanks for all the tips.
Thank you so much for your video! Worked like a charm.
Glad it helped!
Worked out great for me, thank you!!
Thanks for the video it worked out great for me. Time will if it stays or not. Thanks again.
Awesome video thanks👍👍
Awesome. Less than $20 and 30min and I have fobs that work like new.
the best method. thanks
You're working way too hard! Just take the rubber cover off and put a new one on...no glue needed or desired, making for easy removal and replacement; the rubber will hold it and the silver ring in place. I bought a pack of 10 covers cheap from the Hyundai store online. When one wears out I just quickly put another one on.
Would you happen to have the website with the 10pk?
10 for 12.99
Ebay
@@000028H so did you get the 10 pack from eBay or the Hyundai store?
Yea agree that... I change in 5 minutes. No need to push like that and mine fit perfectly. But nice tutorial btw. Cheers
After you cleaned at the first time there is no need to clean it again, maybe a light brushing with a soft brush, if that.
1ST thing to do is remove the battery or your vehicle will be doing things you don't want, like setting off the panic alarm!
grazie per il bel tutorial. Ho fatto anche io il buon lavoro.
Where can you get the rubber pads? Can't find on Amazon
You might try searching Amazon for "autohaux rubber pad keypad" and see if you can find what you need.
Ebay
Just replace the keypad.
