1998 Hyundai Elantra Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Your 1998 Hyundai Elantra key replacement happens right at your car, wherever it's parked. It's around $95, and that covers the fob, the blade, the programming, and the drive to wherever your Hyundai is parked. Dealer charges closer to $200 for the same job, and Hyundai dealers have gotten especially aggressive with key pricing over the last few years on smart key models.

A renter at his studio apartment near Carmel Mountain Ranch called after the Hyundai dealer quoted him $200 for a spare Remote Head Key on his 1998 Hyundai Elantra. He had one working smart key and wanted a backup before something happened. He assumed that price was just what Hyundai keys cost now. I told him it wasn't even close.

I parked at his building and used my HY18 Lishi to decode the door lock and read each wafer position for an exact emergency blade cut. His smart key, FCC ID , was a 3-button proximity fob. I cut the blade and programmed the fob through OBD in about 35 minutes.

Total was $95. Same fob, same chip, same security handshake with the immobilizer. The dealer wanted $200 plus the hassle of getting the car there.

Save vs the Dealer on Your Hyundai Elantra Key

Get your key for hundreds less than the dealer. Same quality, same result, better price.

Hyundai Elantra Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to replace my Hyundai key?
Call a mobile locksmith before you call the dealer. Hyundai owners who go straight to the dealer pay $300 to $600 or more for a single key replacement. One owner discovered the dealer actually brings in a mobile key contractor who charges about a quarter of the dealer price, and the fob was done in minutes. A locksmith did two Santa Fe keys for $300 total versus the dealer asking $450 per key. With EZ Car Keyz, a Remote Head Key for the 1998 Hyundai Elantra is around $95, and that includes everything. No towing, no dealer appointment weeks out, no backorder delays.
