I’ve got a 2012 1997 Hyundai Tiburon, would this method still work?

🔑 Car Key & Fob FAQ

Common questions about key programming, fob issues, and replacement options

Cost & Options
Quality aftermarket keys work well for most vehicles at lower cost. However, some luxury brands use proprietary technology only available through dealers. For expensive cars, OEM may be worth the extra cost for reliability.
Key Programming
Professional key programming requires: diagnostic tools to access the immobilizer system, key code software, transponder programmers, and often proprietary manufacturer equipment. Some locksmiths and all dealers have these tools.
Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Key Fob Issues
Common causes: dead battery (most common), water damage, internal circuit damage, or the fob lost synchronization with your car. Try replacing the battery first. If that doesn't help, the fob may need reprogramming or replacement.
Security Systems
Not recommended. Bypassing requires specialized knowledge and may violate anti-theft laws. Proper solutions: 1) Get correctly programmed keys 2) Replace faulty immobilizer components 3) Have dealer reset the system if keys are lost.
Key Programming
Programming syncs the key's transponder chip with your car's immobilizer system. The process varies by manufacturer but generally involves: 1) authenticating with the car's computer 2) erasing old keys if needed 3) programming new key codes 4) testing functionality.
Key Fact: Key programming typically takes 15-30 minutes for professionals
