Recent job · Hyundai What's specific about Hyundai keys.
Hyundai uses its own smart-key system across most current models, with the newer Digital Key (smartphone-based) appearing on premium trims and EVs. The Palisade, Santa Fe, and Tucson are the high-volume current models in our service area. Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 EVs use the same physical key platform plus Digital Key. Genesis runs on the same Hyundai platform with luxury fobs.
Hyundai key — dealer vs. us.
We do the same programming as the Hyundai dealer, with the same dealer-grade equipment, on-site instead of at the service drive.

Common Hyundai questions.
Can you replace a Hyundai Palisade smart key?
Yes — Palisade is the highest-volume Hyundai call we get. Smart key with proximity entry, programmed on-site in 30–60 minutes.
What about Hyundai Digital Key (the phone-as-key feature)?
Digital Key is a smartphone-based credential managed through the Hyundai app, not a physical key. We can replace your physical fob; Digital Key issues are handled through your Hyundai account directly.
Do you do Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 EV keys?
Yes — both use the standard Hyundai smart-key platform plus Digital Key support. EV powertrain doesn't affect key programming. Within our equipment coverage.
Hyundai Santa Cruz pickup — keys same as Tucson?
Mechanically the Santa Cruz shares with Tucson (same platform, different body). Key system is identical. Same programming approach.
Does the 'Vehicle Theft Software Upgrade' (Kia Boys / TikTok vulnerability) recall apply to my Hyundai? Can you do it?
The recall is dealer-only — Hyundai Motor America handles the Vehicle Theft Software Upgrade through authorized Hyundai service centers, free of charge for affected models. The vulnerability is specific to Hyundai bladed (twist-ignition) models that shipped without a factory immobilizer — that was the cost-cut configuration on most pre-2022 bladed-key Hyundais. Hyundai started fitting immobilizers to bladed-key models in 2022, so 2022+ bladed-key cars and all push-to-start models are not affected. We don't perform the recall fix itself. We do handle everything else on affected Hyundais — key replacement, key duplication, lock changes after a theft attempt, and lockouts.
