Programming a Remote?
We were finally able to get my fiance into a 2004 Sonata to replace the 2003 Santa Fe (ice in TN on an off ramp combined with concrete abuttment = totaled car).
The woman who had the car before us had pretty long nail because the buttons are destroyed on both remotes.
A remote at the dealership costs 165$ new.
Has anyone figured out how to get a used remote from another car and reprogram it for use with another car?

sometimes that is a disadvantage of being an engineer... you overlook the obvious...
Thank you for the tip... I'll just need to get a few remotes to see how to open them up without destroying them... (no screws holding them together).

if you remove the key ring you can slide a coin in the back of it and twist it open. or the same procedure but on the sides of the remote with a small flat head
