To open a 2017
Hyundai Elantra
key fob you need to release the internal key and use a flat-head screwdriver to pop the two halves apart.
Here are the items you may need:
  • Key fob
  • Flat-head screwdriver
  • Precision screwdriver or pen, pencil, or toothpick
  • New battery, if necessary—this fob takes a CR2032 battery.
Start by pushing the button on the bottom of the Hyundai key fob. This will release the internal key which you can then remove.
Next to the keyhole, locate a small groove in the plastic. Put the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently twist. This will pop apart the two halves of the fob.
Use your precision screwdriver or a pencil to pry out the battery. Place the new battery in with the positive side (with text) facing down.
Put it all back together and you should be good to go!
Once you fix your fob battery, now might be a good time to make sure you’re happy with your
car insurance
situation. It’s way easier than switching out a fob battery! Use the
