Auto Door Lock Opening

[dg_moore]

At the same time, I also think many of them could/should work harder to improve their service in certain areas; hopefully that will come in time. I don't have many complaints in general - they're a pretty standard dealership - but $90 to reprogram the behavior of an electronic lock seems cheesy.

Some of these dealers seem bound to squeeze every last nickel out of every transaction. Mine is very fair in this respect - when I had them swap out my airbag for one with the wing logo they charged me $40; later they installed an aftermarket steering wheel for me (required swapping the airbag and all of the controls from the OEM) and charged $47.50. They also provide loaners or a shuttle to work and back if needed. But alas, no marble floors, granite countertops, or free donuts. They do have free Wifi, though, and today's newspaper is always available.

Tell you dealer to call the Hyundai Tech line or their area rep. Attached is a photo of my invoice when I got the locks re-programmed in Sept. 2009. They said the same things (safety feature, can't be done, showed them the manual, needed to check with Hyundai, are you sure you want to do that, okay--it's done at no charge). Bill code is W...warranty repair.

Thanks, dataguy. I vaguely remembered reading about this issue being solved for a couple of forumers in the past. Bill code is W, for warranty repair...

It can be changed easily.

Stand outside the car with the key fob in hand. Press the lock and unlock buttons down at the same time. The lights (that blink when you lock or unlock your car) will blink four times.

Voila-changed. Now all 4 doors open with one press of door handle button. To change it back, do the same thing.

Didn't work for me on a 2009.

Tried it on my 2010, no work either. Does not make much sense as if it were that easy it would be in the manual as a DIY item.

It actually is in the manual; the manual says to do the exact procedure NOLa describes. Which makes it all the more frustrating that it doesn't work. I tried multiple times on my Feb-build 2010 4.6 w/Tech.

Maybe it only works on non-DIS models?

What page? My manual tells me to see the dealer to have this feature activated. No mention of DIY.

Sorry-made an assumption...I can on my 2011 model. I didn't read my manual front to back on the 2009 and thought it applied to all.

Update on previous issue getting the auto door unlock reprogrammed...


Long story short (not!), I gave my dealership another chance and they dropped the ball. The people there are all very nice and well-meaning, but they're not up on Genesis news at all and come across as borderline incompetent at times. I feel like they should be celebrating this great vehicle and it's early-adopter owners, but instead are focused only on the high-volume economy cars. I suppose that's their choice; no hard feelings.

ANYWAY...

I decided to give the other dealership in my immediate area a try. Phoned 'em up and asked if they could reprogram the door lock, and asked what they knew about the P06 navi/map software update campaign that is currently out for my car.

They took my VIN, looked up the info, and agreed that my car is up for the free software update according to campaign P06. They made room for me in their service schedule the very next day. I made sure they realized how long this update process can take, and they said mine is not the first Genesis they've done the update to, so they're quite aware of it's length.

As for the auto door reprogramming, they said the first they'd heard of this request was just the previous, and they had yet to get their head (Genesis) technician to look into it. They said they were surprised and glad to have 2 obscure requests so close together, because then they knew they weren't going on a wild goose chase trying to research it.

I dropped off the car the next morning, came back in the afternoon and the update was complete. They asked me if I was willing to wait while they did the door lock reprogramming, and I said sure. Almost 30 minutes later (they were BUSY) and everything was done - free of charge!. I took some time confirming that all the work was done correctly, and sure enough... all my presets were gone, the map version was 3.00.00, of 04/30/2010, and -- hoorah!! -- all the doors successfully unlock with a single push of a black button.

So, props to the service guys at Stevens Creek Hyundai of Santa Clara. So far, so good!

I'd love to know how they reprogram the auto door unlock. It is something that requires a computer and cable, or just a monolithic run of pushing buttons already in the car.

Special Hyundai dedicated computer.


It is really amazing to see one of these at work. Our engines, including most every brand and type have so much information built into their inboard computer it,s mind boggling. All you need is a means of accessing it. In my boat I have a gps chart plotter, this thing has an option of being permanently hooked to the engines to get data. I can read all data including trouble codes. I can get a display of electronic gauges which shows every engine detail from rpm to oil temp to fuel economy to engine hours. Heck, it will even warn me with a buzzer of any system trouble such as low oil level, pressure, temp or any darn thing the computer reads.

Thanks for this! Worked in about 30 seconds on my 2014 R-Spec.

Worked on my 2013 Premium too. Great tip.
