Hyundai car keys in Adelaide

Hyundai vehicles have become popular in Adelaide over the last two decades. The i30 hatchback, Tucson SUV and Santa Fe are all common, and Hyundai key technology has evolved quite a bit from the older to the newer models.

We make and program Hyundai keys across different generations. The type of key your Hyundai uses depends on when it was made. Text your model and year and we will confirm what key you need and whether we can help.

Text your Hyundai model and year and we will confirm what key it uses and what it costs. We quote before any work starts, and every key is tested before we call it done. Coverage varies by model and year.

Hyundai key types by generation

Hyundai has used different key systems across its model generations. The year and model of your Hyundai tells us which key type you need.

Not sure what key you have? Send a photo along with your model and year and we will identify it for you.

  • Older Hyundais often use a basic transponder key, a metal key with a chip that matches the immobiliser.
  • Many Hyundai i30 and Tucson models from the mid-era use a remote key or flip key, with the remote and transponder coded together.
  • Newer Santa Fe and recent i30 generations use a smart key or proximity fob for keyless entry and push-button start.
  • The newest Hyundai platforms can sometimes be dealer-only for key programming, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case.

Spare Hyundai key or all-keys-lost

If you have a working Hyundai key now, get a spare made. It is cheaper because we can program it from the key you have.

If all your Hyundai keys are lost, we can help on many models, but it is more involved. We set up the immobiliser from scratch and program a new key, which costs more and takes longer. Tell us your situation and we will lay it out plainly.

Hyundai remote keys and immobiliser faults

Hyundai key is in the ignition and turns, but the car will not start? That can be an immobiliser problem or a remote key not coded correctly rather than the key being worn out.

Text us your Hyundai model and year and we will tell you what is going on before you book anything.

What you need for a Hyundai key

Have your registration or VIN ready so we can look up your exact Hyundai model and what key it needs. Bring photo ID as well, because we confirm you own the vehicle before we program any keys.

If you are making a spare, bring your working Hyundai key so we can program from it.

Tested before sign-off

Every key we program is tested in front of you before we call it done.

  • It locks.
  • It unlocks.
  • It starts the car.

If it does not pass, we do not call it done. You walk away with a key that works.

Common questions

Honest answers to the usual questions

Can you make a key for my Hyundai i30, Tucson or Santa Fe?
On many Hyundai models, yes. The i30, Tucson and Santa Fe are among the most common Hyundai key jobs we see, from older transponder keys through remote keys to the newer smart keys. Coverage varies by model and year, so text your exact model and year and we will confirm before you book.
Do you program Hyundai smart keys and keyless entry fobs?
On many newer Hyundais, yes. We program smart and proximity fobs for keyless entry and push-button start, as well as transponder and remote keys. Some newer Hyundai platforms can be dealer-only, so we always confirm your model and year first.
I have lost all the keys to my Hyundai, can you help?
On many Hyundai models, yes. With no working key left, it is an all-keys-lost job. We set up the immobiliser from scratch and program a fresh key. It is more involved than a spare, so it costs more and takes longer. Text your model and year and we will tell you straight what is possible.
How much is a spare Hyundai key?
It depends on the Hyundai model and whether it is a transponder, remote or smart key. A spare made while you still have a working key is cheaper than an all-keys-lost job. We do not guess prices. Text your model and year and we will quote before any work starts.
My Hyundai key is not recognised by the car anymore, what do I do?
That can happen if the remote battery is flat, the key code has slipped, or the immobiliser has not registered the key. Text your model and year and we will advise whether it can be sorted with key programming or if there is another issue.
