What the record shows
With a smart-entry car and no key, the car first has to be opened without damage; then the new smart key has to be accepted by the keyless system before the car will start.
Background: smart keys when every key is lost
The points below are general information about this kind of job. They explain the work; they are not additional details about this particular vehicle.
A smart key’s hidden emergency blade opens the door if the battery fails, so it needs to match the lock as well as being programmed.
Not recorded
To keep this record accurate, the following are not published because neither the original post nor Autobahn’s job notes state them: the Hyundai model and year.
