2020 Hyundai Elantra
Car Key Replacement After Total Loss in Ventura County

Q: How much more does all-keys-lost cost vs a spare?

Significantly more, on any Hyundai. When you still have one working key, adding a spare is a quick programming job. When all keys are lost, the immobilizer needs to be reset and new keys programmed from scratch using a PIN code pulled from the vehicle. Hyundai AKL procedures erase all existing keys and require every key you want active to be programmed in that session. One Hyundai owner paid $375 at the dealer just for basic key replacement. The best advice is to get a spare made while you still have a working key. It will save you hundreds down the road.

Q: Are aftermarket Hyundai keys cheaper and do they work?

Aftermarket keys are cheaper upfront, but on Hyundais the quality varies wildly. One locksmith described Amazon fobs as having roughly a 50 percent success rate. Another owner bought eBay fobs advertised as compatible with their 2014 Santa Fe, but the locksmith confirmed they were completely wrong for the vehicle. The seller had lied about compatibility. Hyundai and Kia share key platforms on many models, which means a fob labeled for one might not work on the other despite looking identical. We carry keys that are verified for your specific Hyundai model so you are not gambling on compatibility.

Q: How many buttons does the 2020 Hyundai Elantra key have?

Your 2020 Hyundai Elantra key has 4 buttons. The button count helps identify exactly which fob your vehicle uses, since Hyundai uses different remotes across trim levels and model years of the same vehicle. Higher trims with remote start use fobs with more buttons than base models. When you call us, having this detail helps us confirm the right key before we head out.

Q: Are there hidden fees I should watch out for?

Not with us. Our price is our price: key, cut, program, mobile service, all in. But watch out for scam locksmiths and inflated dealer quotes. One owner called a locksmith who quoted $29 over the phone, then charged $171 after the job because it was a Sunday. Another was quoted $160 minimum and ended up paying $850 with multiple add-on fees. Hyundai dealers are not much better. One dealer quoted $886 for two keys and another charged $628 for a single flip key on a Palisade. With EZ Car Keyz, 95 is the total. Period.

2020 Hyundai Elantra Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Do you need to tow your 2020 Hyundai Elantra to the dealer? For most Hyundai models from the mid-2000s through about 2022, no. I handle all-keys-lost right at the car.

A customer at his home in Ventura had his only fob stop working at 12:30am. His Elantra was in the driveway with push-to-start and no key the car would recognize. He assumed a tow was inevitable and started looking up flatbed prices for the morning. I told him to stay put and that I'd come to him.

I connected my Smart Pro to the OBD port and ran Hyundai's smart key AKL procedure, which reads the PIN and walks through key registration from scratch. His smart key, FCC ID NYOSYEC4FOB1608, was a 4-button smart key. I programmed it in his driveway at 1am. He seemed pretty surprised it could all happen right there.

His total was about 95. The dealer would have been 200 plus a tow and a wait until business hours. There are a small number of 2024 and newer Hyundai platforms with security gateways where AKL pushes into advanced territory. Those take longer and cost more, and I'll tell you that up front. But for the majority of Hyundais currently on the road, I do all-keys-lost on-site regularly. Midnight in a driveway is not a problem.

Hyundai Elantra Price Questions, Straight Answers

Common pricing questions answered

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 smart key for the 2020 Hyundai Elantra is around 95, and that includes everything. No towing, no dealer appointment weeks out, no backorder delays.
