Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / November 2007Programming Elantra remote - DYI?
I've found an expensive source on eBay for an Elantra remote and now I'm wondering how difficult it is to program. Can I do it myself and will I need extra tools? The information I've been able to find on hmaservice.com suggests that I will need a "code saving kit" - can anyone confirm? > I've found an expensive source on eBay for an Elantra remote and now I'm > wondering how difficult it is to program.

Well, the subject should have said DIY, but hopefully it was clear. To my knowledge, dealer tooling is necessary to program the remote. Go to your local dealer, expect to pay some labor (.5 hr or so) unless they know and like you. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html > To my knowledge, dealer tooling is necessary to program the remote.

That plus the price of the remote has me thinking about looking for a new system - any suggestions? My suggestion is to not install an aftermarket security system. Presuming yours is a 2001-2006 Elantra, you won't be able to remove the factory system-- it's integral in the time and alarm control module. Additionally, I've rarely seen a quality installation on an aftermarket system. They're typically installed by twisting and taping wires or by using scotch locks, which are notorious for poor connections. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html > > To my knowledge, dealer tooling is necessary to program the remote.

These are the instructions I followed: http://egt.gwebworks.com/garage4.shtml They note that you can only program it for yourself if you have an '01-03 Elantra. >> > To my knowledge, dealer tooling is necessary to program the remote.

I have a 2003 Elantra GLS so I should be OK. Can you verify the switch is there? I was with Kia for a while, and they used the same procedure on the Optima, where it was necessary to pull the facia and flip the switch. When I returned to Hyundai, I tried this with a Sonata, and to my surprise, upon disassembling the dash, I found no switch. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html It's definitely there on my '01 :) > Can you verify the switch is there? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Message posted usinghttp://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ > More information athttp://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html Thanks, Matt. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html
