2026 Hyundai Kona Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I was already in Shadowridge wrapping up a different call when she reached me. Her 2026 Kona was sitting in the overflow lot outside a pediatrician's office on the Vista side of the neighborhood, and it wasn't going anywhere. Her toddler had a fever. It was past 6:30. The Hyundai dealer's service department was closed.
She had tried everything she could think of, including holding the fob closer to the start button, which is actually the right instinct. It still didn't fire.
When I got there I could see the fob had taken some abuse. The shell had stress cracks near the battery door, which is a thing I see on these newer Hyundai fobs more than I'd like. When I opened it up, the CR2450 had a faint film of corrosion on one contact point. Not dramatic, just enough to choke the signal. The chip itself wasn't transmitting.
I swapped the fob, connected to the OBD port, registered the new key to the vehicle, and cleared the old one out of memory so it couldn't be used if it turned up somewhere later. Tested every button. Walked her through the backup start procedure, which involves holding the fob against the start button in a specific way, so she'd know what to do if a battery ever died on her again before she could swap it.
From her call to engine running was 44 minutes. The dealer would have been a morning appointment at best, and she would have needed a tow and a hotel if she wanted it that night. She got her kid home, got him medicated, and had him in bed by eight.
I didn't charge what the dealer would have. Not even close.
