Hyundai Tucson key replacement and programming
Tucson’s key has changed with each generation: a turn key at first, then flip keys, and a Smart Key that spread from upper trims down the range.
Tucson key systems by model year
Year ranges follow Tucson generations and are approximate. Trim, build date and factory options can change the system within a year, so we confirm it from your VIN before dispatch.

Lost every Tucson key?
If no working key remains, we can make and program a new key for many Hyundai vehicles at the car. The job depends on whether your vehicle has an immobilizer and which key system it uses, so we confirm both from your VIN first.

Important compatibility notice — final key compatibility must be confirmed
The key images, vehicle models, and year ranges shown on this page are provided as a general identification guide and may not apply to every vehicle. The manufacturer may use different key systems within the same model year depending on trim level, production date, manufacturing location, ignition type, and factory equipment. Final compatibility must be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN, ignition type, existing key or fob, and vehicle information before service. The images are representative examples and do not guarantee an exact visual match.
A current registration or title and matching government-issued photo identification must be verified before automotive key, lock, or immobilizer service is performed.
