Car Alarms: 2002 hyundai sonota, 2002 hyundai sonata, valet mode


Question
I have a 2002 hyundai sonata. It has a factory alarm and I lost my remote to deactivate the alarm. I wasn't able to start the car, but once the tow truck lifted it up and took it to the hyundai dealer and took it off the truck I tried to start it and it started right up. What I want to know is when i unhook my battery and it resets the system how will I be able to deactivate the alarm myself without the remote. Or  will I have to pay the dealership a 118.00 for a new remote

Answer
Hmmm, might need to be evaluated by a tech to
trouble shoot the issue. Until then, to try to disarm it,
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.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
