all, new to the forum and hoping for some additional advise. I have scoured the internet, called my usual mechanic and also have been redirected to a sort of auto locksmith.
I bought my car from a fella about 3 weeks ago, it is a Gen 2 Hyundai Coupe 2.0l 2001 Model, he only supplied me with 2 keys, no alarm/remote fob. He also never had it whilst the car was in his possession.
Just yesterday I disconnected the battery to install an amp & subwoofer, once I had wired it all up I connected the negative terminal back on the battery and I was met with the surprise of my horn constantly blowing in addition to flashing indicators. I put the key in the ignition, turned it to the on position but it still carried on, along with the red led lit up. There was nothing I could do apart from disconnect the battery, I connected it again and the same thing happened and I resulted in disconnecting the horn to get a bit of silence. I then started searching the internet for answers, most of which mentioned this alarm fob which I clearly do not have.
The car turns over when I twist the key and runs smoothly, the alarm is still permanently on though.
I have called hyundai to get a quote for a new fob, as they couldn't quite find my exact car model they gave me two prices and part numbers. 954402C100 - £310.00 + VAT 954402C505 - £378.00 + VAT In addition to the workshop fee of £75.00 + VAT
Does anyone know which for is correct for my car? An image perhaps so i know what to look for should I try ordering a second hand one.
Now this is alot of money, my car is quite distinctive and feel if anyone is dumb enough to steal it then they are going to steal it despite an alarm.
What I would like to know is there any way I can disable the alarm or disconnect it entirely, it is a factory fitted alarm. Advice and alternative suggestions are welcome.
What if you disconnected your add on from the vehicle ? Sometimes we get into areas where we should not.
"add on"? do you mean alarm?
I was starting to think that, trouble is I went requesting help through FB Marketplace from someone who has connected an amp before, I lacked the tools for getting the glove box off which seemed to be the best way through the firewall so it was not myself who was tinkering.
Is it possible something behind there has been knocked?
I am UK based, work through a cell phone you say?
Please tell me more?
Yea, It's crazy. I was skeptical when I heard it, so I tried it myself. Take a key fob and car that you know works. Then get a friend, let the friend go far far away with the fob. Have him call you on your cell fone. Hold your cell fone out in front of you, pointing it at the car. He pushes the button on the fob, and your car will lock and unlock just like you were pushing the button .
Try it, This is my car. I had just done 136 mph in it, the fastest I have ever gone in any car.
