This key fob is for a push to start ignition; however, it does not have a remote start button on it.
I found the following information online regarding remote start for the 2018 and 2019 Sonata models.
I found the following information online regarding remote start for the 2018 and 2019 Sonata models.
- Blue Link Subscription: Most 2018 and 2019 Sonatas with push-button start are compatible with the Hyundai Blue Link system, which includes the remote start feature as part of its "Remote Package". This requires an active subscription, which was typically free for the first three years of ownership, but requires a paid plan afterward. With Blue Link, you can start your car using the MyHyundai smartphone app or the owner's website, and even set the climate control.
- Accessory Key Fob: Hyundai offered an official accessory remote start system that came with a separate, dedicated remote, as the standard key fob did not have a built-in remote start button.
- Aftermarket Kits: Various third-party aftermarket kits are also available, some of which allow you to use your existing factory key fob by pressing the lock button three times in sequence.
