Hyundai Car Key Replacement And Programming

Whether you drive a 2013 i10 with a transponder chip key or a 2024 Ioniq 5 with a smart proximity key, we can create and programme keys roadside—no dealership visit, no towing.

What we do on-site:

1. Confirm vehicle ownership and assess the situation
2. Non-destructive entry if you’re locked out
3. Read immobiliser data via OBD2 diagnostics; for certain models we can extract PIN securely
4. Cut a new key (standard or laser) to your locks
5. Programme transponder/smart key to your ECU/immobiliser
6. Test start, remote locking, and proximity functions
7. Provide a short handover with aftercare tips and warranty details

Technologies and tools we use:

• Dealer-level diagnostic equipment for Hyundai systems
• OBD2 key programming for transponder and proximity keys
• EEPROM techniques for selected older platforms when required
• High-precision cutting for laser and standard blades
• Genuine or high-quality remotes and smart keys to match your model
• Battery testing, fob repair, and re-synchronisation

Key types covered:

• Transponder chip keys for earlier i20/i30 and utility models
• Remote flip keys for popular mid-2010s Hyundais
• Smart/proximity keys for push-to-start vehicles like Kona, Tucson Hybrid, Santa Fe, and Ioniq 5/6
• Emergency insert blades for smart keys and proximity fobs

If you’ve lost all keys, we can often originate a new key from the locks and pair it to the immobiliser in one visit. For some very new or security-updated Hyundais, specific procedures or parts may be required—we’ll explain options clearly and provide a free quote before any work begins.

Fast Vehicle Unlocking For Hyundai Drivers

Locked your keys in the car or boot? We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to unlock your Hyundai quickly, typically using specialist lock picks and techniques tailored to Hyundai door locks.

• No damage to paint, glass, or weather seals
• No “coat hanger” or crowbar methods—only professional tools
• Immediate help across the N postcode area

Rare exceptions: If a lock is already broken, severely damaged, or has been subject to an attempted break-in, we’ll discuss the safest route first—your approval is always sought before any invasive step.

If you only need a door open, we can stop there. If you’ve lost the key entirely, we can cut and programme a replacement on the spot. Learn more about our Vehicle Unlocking service.

Pricing And Quotes For Hyundai Keys

Every key job is different. Your cost depends on:

• Model and year (e.g., Ioniq 5 smart key vs older i20 transponder)
• Key type (flip key, remote fob, proximity/smart key)
• Service required (unlocking only, new key from scratch, programming a supplied fob, ignition or lock repairs)
• Timing (standard hours vs emergency call-out)

We don’t publish fixed prices because we don’t want to mislead—Hyundai systems vary across years and trims. Call for a fast, accurate figure tailored to your car. To understand how pricing works, see auto locksmith prices in North London.

Security, Training, And Peace Of Mind

• Identity and ownership checks protect you and your vehicle
• Public liability insurance held; DBS-checked staff
• Investment in current tools for 2024/2025 vehicles and immobilisers
• Secure handling of immobiliser data—no shortcuts, no guesswork
• Guidance on safeguarding: deactivating lost keys so they won’t start your car

We can also assess a second key strategy for your Hyundai—an inexpensive spare often pays for itself by preventing a future all-keys-lost emergency.

Hyundai FAQs

Can you make a Hyundai key without the original?

Yes. For most Hyundais we can originate a new key from the locks and programme it to the immobiliser using OBD2 diagnostics. On selected older platforms we can use EEPROM methods where required. We’ll confirm your model/year on the phone and explain the best route.

My Hyundai says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?

Try holding the fob close to the start button and press it with the fob—some models allow emergency start that way. If it still fails, the fob battery may be flat or the key could be out of sync. We can test, re-sync, repair, or replace the fob on-site.

Can you reprogramme a used Hyundai key fob?

Often no—many used proximity fobs are locked to the original car. In some cases a used remote can be reset, but it’s model-dependent. We’ll check your specific Hyundai and advise whether a new fob is the only reliable solution.

How long does it take to get a new Hyundai key?

Unlock-only jobs are typically quick. A full lost-key replacement with programming is commonly completed in one visit, subject to model/year and parts availability. We’ll give you a realistic timescale when you call.

Will you damage my Hyundai when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and will always explain any rare exceptions upfront (e.g., if the lock is already damaged). Our aim is to leave no trace of entry.

Do you cover evenings and weekends?

Yes. We offer emergency support when you need it most. Call to check current availability across North London.

Does car insurance cover lost Hyundai keys?

Some policies and breakdown cover include lost key benefits. It varies by insurer, so check your policy. We can provide an invoice for your claim.

Ready to get this sorted? We’ll get a specialist to you, wherever you are in the N postcode area, with the right tools and the right key first time.
