Hyundai Key Replacement in Milwaukee
Locksmith Milwaukee Now cuts and programs Hyundai keys at your car in Milwaukee and about 30 miles around it: chip keys, flip keys, smart keys, and new keys when all are lost. A spare Hyundai key starts at $69 and takes 15 to 60 minutes. We work 24/7. Call or text us with the year and model.
Hyundai keys for Elantra, Sonata, Tucson, and Santa Fe
Hyundai key replacement in Milwaukee covers a long list of popular cars: Elantra and Sonata sedans, Tucson, Santa Fe, Kona, and Palisade SUVs, and older Accent, Veloster, and Genesis Coupe models. We make the key at the car, and the price depends on the key type and on whether you still have a working key.
The Hyundai security PIN
Almost every Hyundai key job turns on one number: a 6-digit security PIN that belongs to the car. Smart keys need it, and so do many chip keys. Without the PIN, the programming tool cannot add a key. On many models our tool reads the PIN from the car through the diagnostic port. On others, the PIN comes from Hyundai for the VIN after the ownership check. You do not need to visit the dealer for it.
Flip keys and smart keys
Many Hyundais from the 2010s use a flip key, with the blade folding into the remote: the 2013–2018 Santa Fe, the Tucson from the late 2010s, the 2017–2019 Sonata, the 2017–2020 Elantra, and the Kona from 2018. Push-to-start smart keys are on many Sonata, Santa Fe, Tucson, Elantra, and Palisade trims, and on most new Hyundais. A smart key starts at $159 (smart keys).
Hyundai smart keys have a detail that catches people out: two fobs can look the same, with the same buttons and the same FCC ID, and still have different part numbers for different trims. The new key has to match the part number of your car, so we check it before we bring one.
Turn keys without a chip
Some 2011–2022 Hyundai base models with a turn key have no immobilizer chip in the key. Every Hyundai built since November 2021 has one. A key for a car without a chip is still cut by code, and that code is often bought from Hyundai, so the job does not cost less than a chip key. We tell you which one your car uses when you send the year and model.
Spare Hyundai key or all keys lost
With a working key, a spare starts at $69 (spare car key). We cut the blade by code or from your key, get the PIN, and program the new key next to yours. A Hyundai key usually takes 15 to 60 minutes at the car, depending on the key and the PIN step.
On many newer Hyundais, programming erases every key and remote and then learns them again in one session. A key that is not with us at that moment stops working, so bring every key and remote you want to keep.
When every key is gone, we open the car first (car lockout), cut a key by code, get the PIN, and program the new key; the lost keys no longer start the car. All keys lost for a chip key starts at $119, and smart keys cost more (lost car keys).
Hyundai remotes
Older Hyundais have a separate remote on the key ring. A lost or broken remote is programmed from $119 (key fobs), and a remote head or flip key starts at $129.
Hyundai and Kia share the same security system family, so the same rules apply on Kia keys. For the rest, see car keys by make.
