Car Alarms: 2004 Hyundai Elantra, hyundai elantra gt, 2004 hyundai elantra

Question
QUESTION: I have factory installed anti theft system. for 2004 Hyundai Elantra GT. When I use my key to unlock the door the alarm sounds. Then car will not start. I have key fob to lock and unlock car but I am puzzled at why alarm would sound when I use key.

ANSWER: Because it's more likely to be an after market
add on at the dealership and would act that way
if not remotely disarmed.

Use the FCC on the back of the Fob and
go to www.remotesunlimited.com
to identify it.

Good luck.

QUESTION: Don't mean to be a bother but cannot locate FCC ID on back of FOB and remotesunlimited.com site seems to be under repair. Only see some characters on the card in the FOB - xg-usxd/
Any suggestion on how I can deactivate alarm only when key is used to unlock. I want to retain alarm when fob is used. I have never had a car that activates the alarm when the key is used to unlock. Thanks

Answer
Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd look under the dash area
for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the
button (little spring loaded micro button, red or
black possibly), until the alarm chirps 1 time.
This should over ride the system, and only the
keyless entry part, if installed, would still be
operating.

The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.
