i just bought an 09 sonata last week my wife asked me a simple question -what happens when the remotes battery dies? since i dont see a key hole in the door how would someone get in the car if the remote doesnt work? if the battery dies and say i'm stuck in Virginia ( my aunt lives in a rural area Nathalie VA. ) the nearest store is 20 miles away to buy a battery or say the remote gets wet or swimming how do i get in the car ??

 

On my car you can go in thru the trunk and lower the back seat and crawl through. Not very convenient but better than being stuck somewhere. I didn't even notice there was no outside lock on the door but I've only had the car two weeks.............

 

my wife had mentioned to me she didn't see a key hole in the door handle that was last night i looked this mourning -it has a key hole i don't know what she was looking at -
