In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps of how to change the battery on a 2014 Hyundai key fob, getting you back on the road with a fully functional key in no time.

Types of 2014 Hyundai Key Fobs

What You’ll Need

Before you get started, gather the following items:

• A new CR2032 battery (This is the most common type for Hyundai key fobs, but double-check your owner’s manual to be sure)
• A small flat-head screwdriver
• Optional: A small plastic pry tool (This can help prevent scratching your key fob)

Identifying Your Hyundai Key Fob

Hyundai offered several key fob styles for its 2014 models. The two most common types are:

• Flip Key Fob: This fob has a key blade that flips out from the fob body.
• Standard Key Fob: This fob has a separate key blade that can be detached.

The process for changing the battery is similar for both types, with slight variations. We’ll cover both methods below.

Testing Your New Key Fob Battery

After replacing the battery, test your key fob to make sure it’s working properly:

1. Lock and unlock your car doors using the buttons on your key fob.
2. Start your car.

If your key fob isn’t functioning correctly, double-check that you’ve installed the new battery correctly and that it’s making good contact with the terminals inside the fob.
