Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / November 2008Disabling Remote Locking etc
I,m being quoted exorbitant prices to replace a "remote" for a 2002 Sonata. Anyone know if its possible to disable the remote feature all together and just use the keys for access?. Australian model. Around $300 to replace something that cost ~ $5 to manufacture seems a little steep. John I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you really asking if you can use the car without using the remote? My 99 Sonata never had a remote, my 2003 and 2007 came with one but I never used it. So what's the problem? The 2007 only has a key lock on the drivers door, but it just so happens that's the one I use! > I,m being quoted exorbitant prices to replace a "remote" for a 2002 > Sonata.

I never noticed that in two years. Most have keylocks on both front doors, but I never use them. > "Partner" <someone@comcast.net> wrote in message >> The 2007 only has a key lock on the drivers door, but it just so happens >> that's the one I use! > > I never noticed that in two years.

As long as the vehicle isn't locked with the remote, the alarm won't arm and the vehicle can be operated with the key - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm On my 2003 Sonata, if my wife locked it with the remote and I opened it with the key, the alarm would sound. But on my 2007, I can open it with the key and the alarm does not go off. > As long as the vehicle isn't locked with the remote, the alarm won't arm, > and the vehicle can be operated with the key.

All I want to do is use the keys for entry/exit/starting , no use of remote at all. Sometimes it works OK but occasionally when I use the key for entry the darn alarm goes off. I saw one comment re when locking car with remote and locking with keys. I,ll try locking car solely with key. That might solve problem. Many thanks for advice. John Why use a key to lock There's a button to hit when you get out of the car that locks all doors. > Sorry about not responding, had to go overseas for 3 weeks.
