Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / May 2008Back to this alarm/keyless entry 2003 accent
hi as posted before we have purchased a 2003 gl sedan with power doorlocks and central locking. the previous owners did not provide us with a remote keyfob and we are not certain that the car has a factory alarm/keyless entry. last night my wife came home and when she shut the car off,a red led came on in the hyundai factory stereo.i looked in the manual and there is no reference to a flashing led in the stereo.it is an upgraded factory stereo that is not in the owners manual and it does say hyundai on it. is there any way that i can positivly identify if this car came with a factory alarm and keyless entry? would the vin# be helpful to find this out? thanks,jeff > hi > as posted before we have purchased a 2003 gl sedan with power doorlocks and [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > would the vin# be helpful to find this out? > thanks,jeff Well, I'm not sure how much help it will be, but I know from previous hyundai's, the radios were armed with the anti-theft device so that the radios couldn't be stolen...

It sounds stupid, but its true. Look at everything else being stolen today. So that's all the blinking LED means, is that the radio can't be stolen... > hi > well that explains that ,but it seems that the radio is nothing special.

Yes, a very easy way. Contact Hyundai Customer Service and ask them. They'll need the VIN for your car, but will be able to tell you everything it came equipped with from the factory. If the car had an alarm (more than likely it did), they can tell you what's necessary to get a new key fob for it. When it comes to questions like this, contacting the manufacturer is the best way to go, as no one on the Internet is going to be able to give you a definitive answer. >>>>> would the vin# be helpful to find this out? >>>>> thanks,jeff >>>> Well, I'm not sure how much help it will be, but I know from previous >>>> hyundai's, the radios were armed with the anti-theft device so that >>>> the radios couldn't be stolen... >>> And this anti-theft device was the blinking LED... No, it doesn't that the radio can't be stolen, just that it won't work in another vehicle if it IS stolen. That's not even completely true, since all you need to activate it is the numeric key, which is usually printed on a label affixed to the side of the glove box (look on the left outside surface). Not that you average thief would know that or take the time to find the code.
