Programming Notes:

  • Verify the following prior to following these instructions:
    • Your vehicle is equipped with keyless entry, and
    • You have a key fob remote that is compatible with your vehicle.
  • Obtain ALL remote transmitters for this vehicle.
  • Keyless Entry Control Module Location:
    • Santa Fe / XG300 / XG350: Access alarm system control module located behind driver’s side fascia panel (Fig 100573)
    • Elantra / Sonata: Access central locking signal control module located behind fascia, center (Fig 100645)
  • Important: Please check to ensure you are able to find the Alarm Control Module and associated SET Switch mentioned in the instructions, otherwise you will not be able to perform the self-programming instructions and will be required to have an Automotive Locksmith program the key fob for you.
  • Alternative: If these instructions do not appear to work, try performing them again WITHOUT inserting the key into the ignition, as Steps 2 and 7 indicate, to see if this resolves the issue.

    • NorthCoast Keyless says:

      Hi Albert, Thanks for reaching out here. If you don’t have the ON/OFF switch, it means that your vehicle isn’t equipped with keyless entry. If you are certain that it is equipped, then we recommend calling a local Auto Locksmith for support programming the remote for you. Take care.

    I’ve been researching this keyfob programming for the 2004 santa fe. If there is no set switch it has to be programmed through the OBD port. I’ve searched everywhere for a switch, even found the alarm box and antenna, no switch. i’m replacing a lost key fob, so I know the car came with one originally.

    I posted a question regarding how I can get the code for remote start on my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. my alarm works fine, I just don’t know what buttons to push and how many times to activate the start. Could someone out there please respond if you know what I need??.

    bought the suv from my mom who said she had the alarm taken out because she kept losing the fob.
    but it got me thinking so i watched a y.t. video by the “basic d.i.y. guy” and he had a link to you guys!
    couldn’t believe how easy it was, thanks to both of you, it works perfectly.

    I tried to program using the directions given and it did not work. However when I did the programming with NO key in the ignition it worked perfectly. Remote works well

  6. Christopher Gonzales says:

    Thanks guys. No way do I even pull into a dealership with my old Santa Fe! ( I needed to use the NO-KEY approach for it to work).

  7. Bobby says:
