Default It's not a Ford but little help
My mum's car is a 2000 Hyundai Sonata and one of the remotes no longer locks/unlocks the car. Now it should take a dealer 30 seconds to recode it right? This dodgy bastard is trying to get my mum to pay $80 to apparently pull apart the car and get a number off the security mobule because she doesn't have the pin that supposed to come with the car (this is the same dealer the car was bought from, never got any pin number, car was second hand).

This all smells of BS to me

Gee that does sound dodgy. If you bought the car off him and he didn't supply the PIN, he would be breaking the law I'd imagine. Not to mention the moral and ethical standard.

I had an EF Sonata GLS V6 and this happened to me the remote stuffed up , the dealer said it was general wear and tear not covered by warranty and it was about the $100 to fix it. I emailed HMC at Homebush with my whinge and low and behold 2 new remotes and a ****ed off dealer who had to replace them.
Being a 2000 model is it still under warranty (5 year 130000kms) - if so hit them with a warranty repair..
Good luck - Hyundai are just as bad as FORD for coughing up with warranty repairs.

Thanks for that, mum's already had to rip into them in front of a few customers because they missed that the crank shaft position sensor has packed it in (kinda bloody obvious) and at the last service because the thing just died it was bacuse they had not changed the spark plugs at the 90k Km service.

Now I have to get my GTS-T serviced and my regular trusted mechanic has moved to smash repairs only : not sure where I should take it.
