Losing the key to your Elantra is stressful, whether you have misplaced your only key or just want a backup before that happens. The Elantra has been sold across many model years from 2007 to 2024, and its key system changed over that time, from transponder bladed or flip keys to proximity smart keys with push-button start.

The exact key, chip and programming your Elantra needs depend on its trim and VIN. That is why we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting anything. Two cars that look alike can use different key systems, so we verify rather than guess.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987. We are fully mobile: there is no shop to visit or tow to. Our technician comes to your Elantra wherever it is parked, whether at home, work or the roadside, and handles both spare keys and all-keys-lost situations.

Hyundai Elantra key systems by year

Earlier years

Earlier Elantras generally use a transponder key, either a traditional bladed key or a flip key with the blade folding into a remote head. The immobilizer varies by trim and year, and we confirm it by VIN. Replacement generally involves cutting a new blade to match the vehicle and programming the key so the car recognizes it. If you have lost every key, we can still work from the vehicle and VIN to create a working key on site.

Recent years

Many recent Elantra trims use a proximity smart key with push-button start. The fob lets you unlock and start the car without inserting a blade, though most include a hidden emergency blade. Replacement generally involves obtaining the correct fob for your trim, confirmed by VIN, and programming it to the vehicle. Because trims differ, we verify the right key before ordering or programming. This applies to spare keys and all-keys-lost situations alike.

Exact key, chip and programming vary by trim and VIN — we confirm the right key for your car before cutting.

How we replace your key

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Tell us your Elantra's model year, where it is parked, and whether you have a working key or have lost all keys. We are available 24/7 at (323) 997-8867.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    Our fully mobile technician travels to your location in Greater LA or Ventura County. There is no shop visit and no need to tow the car.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and VIN

    We check your photo ID and proof of ownership, then read the VIN. The VIN lets us confirm the correct key type for your trim before cutting.

  4. 4

    Cut and program the key

    We prepare the correct key for your Elantra, whether a transponder bladed or flip key or a smart key, and program it to the vehicle.

  5. 5

    Test everything

    We test the key's functions, including starting the car and any remote features, so you leave with a key that works.

What to have ready

  • Proof of ownership, such as registration or title
  • A valid government-issued photo ID
  • The VIN, found on the dashboard near the windshield or on your registration or insurance card
  • Any existing keys or fobs, even if damaged, so we can duplicate them

What affects the price

  • Whether you need a spare key or are in an all-keys-lost situation
  • Key type for your trim and year, such as transponder bladed, flip or smart key
  • Whether the key needs to be cut, programmed, or both
  • Your location within our Greater LA and Ventura County service area
  • Time of day, including after-hours or emergency requests

Hyundai Elantra keys — FAQs

What if I lost all my Elantra keys?
We can help. We come to your car, verify ownership and VIN, and create a new key for your trim. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Elantra key?
Yes. Having a spare made while you still have a working key is generally simpler than an all-keys-lost situation. We confirm the correct key by VIN first.
I don't have the original key. Is that a problem?
No. We can work from the vehicle and its VIN, so you do not need an original key, though we do need proof of ownership and photo ID.
What is the difference between a push-button and a bladed Elantra key?
Earlier Elantras generally use a transponder bladed or flip key inserted into the ignition. Many recent trims use a proximity smart key with push-button start. Your VIN tells us which applies to your car.
Will my year and trim determine which key I need?
Yes. The exact key, chip and programming depend on trim and VIN, so we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting.
What do I need to have ready?
Proof of ownership, a photo ID and your VIN. Having these ready helps the visit go smoothly.
Do I need to tow my Elantra to you?
No. We are mobile only and come to wherever your vehicle is parked. We do not have a shop.
