How to Disassemble a Hyundai Remote Key?
2 Answers
Modern remote keys can be disassembled as follows: 1. Press the small button on the key. 2. Pull the metal head of the key upwards to remove the physical key of the vehicle. 3. Pull apart the gap left by the physical key on both sides. 4. Disassemble the key. Below is some relevant information: The Beijing Hyundai is a compact car with a body length of 4570mm, width of 1775mm, height of 1445mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The drive type is front-wheel drive, with front ventilated disc brakes and rear disc brakes.
I've disassembled Hyundai remote keys multiple times and find them quite intricately designed, requiring patience. Typically there are small gaps on the side or back of the key. I usually use a small flathead screwdriver or plastic pry tool to gently open it, being careful to avoid scratching the surface with hard objects. During disassembly, check for hidden screws. If none, carefully handle the snap-fit structure as excessive force may break the plastic hooks. Inside you'll typically find a coin cell battery and circuit board - I take this opportunity to clean dust or replace the battery. After battery replacement, align the housing and press gently until hearing a 'click' sound indicating proper locking. Always work over a soft pad to prevent accidental drops. For advanced models with soldered components, beginners should avoid attempting disassembly to prevent short circuits. I recommend checking model-specific video tutorials beforehand to ensure safe and hassle-free DIY, saving dealership visits.
