Disabling keyless entry on Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis models can be a helpful security measure. Here's how it might be done:
Using the Key Fob:
- Lock the car using the key fob button.
- Then, simultaneously hold down the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob for a few seconds (around 4-5 seconds).
- If successful, the car's mirror lights should flash four times, indicating that keyless entry is now disabled.
Important Notes:
- This method might not work for all Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis models. It's best to consult your car's owner's manual for specific instructions on disabling keyless entry for your vehicle.
- Disabling keyless entry means you'll need to use the physical key on the fob to unlock the car doors.
- Unlocking the car with the physical key resets the keyless entry system, so you'll need to repeat the process if you want to disable it again.
- Starting the car will also typically re-enable the keyless entry system.
Alternative:
If your car doesn't have a way to disable keyless entry, consider using a signal-blocking pouch, also known as a Faraday bag, for your key fob. This can help prevent thieves from using relay attacks to steal your car.
Refer to your car's manual or consult your dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information on disabling keyless entry for your specific Kia, Hyundai, or Genesis model.
