Did You Know? . . . Keyless Entry Systems for 2013 Hyundai Elantra Only Allow 2 Proximity Remotes

Keyless entry systems for nearly all vehicles accept programming of more than 2 remotes with a vehicle at any one time. In our experience, for keyfob remotes, the most common number is 4 transmitters accepted at any one time, but some keyless entry systems go higher. We find it a little surprising that Hyundai limits an owner to only 2 proximity remotes on 2013 Hyundai Elantra cars. But that is the way it is.

    I just bought a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS, It says the car came with a keyless entry but the salesman said They didn’t get one. I just want to know if I can get the remote replaced or do I have to put a hole alarm system. I’d like to keep OEM system in the car. Thanks for your time

      2013 Hyundai Elantras, except for the Touring model, used one of two factory keyless systems. A “Smart-Key” transmitter was used on vehicles with push-button start, and a traditional key fob transmitter was used vehicles that use a key to start the car. The fact that you bought a used Elantra and received no transmitter tells me you have a keyed ignition. The transmitter you need is RUI part 089-6211. Here is a link:

      The Hyundai list price for this part is $81.06, but our current price is $69.00.
      Please note that the keyless entry system in your vehicle has to be “programmed” to accept a new remote fob. For all Hyundai vehicles, this process requires use of a computer “scan” tool. So, you will have to take your vehicle and the new remote to a Hyundai dealership for programming. If I were you, I would go to the salesman at the dealership where you bought the car and ask him to have the service department program the new remote for free because it was pretty lame of your dealership not to provide a remote with the car.
