2018 Hyundai Tucson Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Lock decoding means I read your car's lock to cut a key without drilling anything, without damaging anything, and without replacing the cylinder. The car looks the same when I leave.
A driver on the highway shoulder outside Carlsbad had his key snap in the ignition of his 2018 Hyundai Tucson. Half the blade was stuck in the cylinder and half was between his fingers. He called another locksmith first, and that locksmith quoted him for a full ignition replacement over the phone. New cylinder, new keys, over $400. He called me for a second opinion.
I used my HY14 Lishi to extract the broken fragment without touching the wafer surfaces inside. Once it was out clean, I decoded the lock from the wafer readings, cut a fresh blade, and programmed the transponder through OBD. His flip key, FCC ID TQ8-RKE-4F25, was a 4-button remote. The fob was fine; he just needed the new blade and chip.
No drilling, no cylinder swap, no new ignition assembly. Total was $178. The other locksmith's approach would have been $382 or more. His original lock works with the new key exactly as before.

“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
