The Hyundai transponder key, and how we set one up.
Hyundai's plain chipped key from these years uses the HY18 blade, and its rubber head is famous for tearing loose from the blade or splitting open until the transponder chip drops out. This shell gives you a new head and an uncut HY18 blade, ready to receive the chip from your old key. Because it is a shell, there is no transponder supplied. We carefully remove the chip from your old key and seat it in the new one, then cut the blade to match your old key or your code. The car will recognise the chip as before, so there is no programming and the vehicle does not have to come in. That only works if you still have the chip. If it has fallen out and been lost, or the key went missing altogether, you need a complete transponder key, which we cut and program at the car. Check that your current key has no remote buttons, as this shell is for the buttonless key only. Bring your old key to our counter at 4105 Macdonald St and we will move the chip while you wait for the cut.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 5 model years, 2012 to 2016, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- This is the case only. Your existing circuit board, battery and chip move across, so it does not need programming to the car.
- HY18 is the industry code for the blade or immobiliser system on this key. Quote it if you call around for prices.

My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
