Hello,

I am having a problem programming my new FOB. I ordered one through ebay thinking that it would be a breeze, as conveyed at santafemods, but its not.

I followed those instructions as well as various others out there. I tried it through every click of the key (off - in between - acc - on) and I've tried holding different button combinations down, etc. Still, my new FOB is not programmed.

It was also said out there that if I switch the switch to the SET position, it erases the old programs, yet my old FOB still works, it is almost as if the Off/Set switch is a dummy switch to aggravate people.

I have a 2003.5 Santa Fe. The reason I say .5 is because it's a 03, but I have a lot of the features that weren't implemented until the 2004 model. I frequently find things that are different from traditional 03's.

My assumption is since they removed the Off/Set from the 04's, maybe mine does nothing or was disabled.

Anyhow, any ideas of other things to try? Is there another programming sequence that I should follow?

I don't know if this matters either, but, the new FOB's model name is: OKA-240T

Thanks

 

You need to go to the dealer. They use a special scanner to program new fobs. make sure to bring all fobs you need programmed because it does not add fobs. It clears all old programming.

 

First get your old programming cleared..

After that you can re-program Keyless entry yourself.
