Key Blanks for Hyundai Tucson

Hyundai Tucson Key Blanks

The Hyundai Tucson gives you a compact SUV that you can take almost anywhere. In your travels, you may lose your keys or realize the base set just isnt enough for you and your passengers. Hyundai Tuscon key blanks make it easier to create replacements or add keys for your Hyundai SUV.

For the Tucson, the answer to this question will vary depending on the year and what kind of key you need. Here are the main types of Hyundai Tucson key blanks.

• Standard key blanks: This standard type gives you all the metal and the precut lines you need to create a Hyundai replacement key. The size and precut columns vary by car make and model. Without a key blank, a regular key cutter will have only half the information they need to create a key.
• Key shell: In addition to the physical unlocking mechanism, all Hyundai Tuscon keys have digital transponder chips inside. A physical key shell without a chip can open the door, but it wont start the car. In some cases, for example, if you lock your keys in the car a lot, this may be enough. Otherwise, you will need to add a chip paired to your Tucson. You will find the chip slot in the rubber top of the key shell.
• Transponder key: A Hyundai key shell with a transponder chip gives you everything you need to start your Tucson. With this part, a professional locksmith can cut the key and program it to match your vehicle.
• Remote fobs: If your Tucson has a remote lock system, then you need another kind of blank altogether. Electronic fobs send out electrical signals paired with your vehicle. Blank fobs give you all the hardware necessary to program fobs with the unique signal. This hardware will vary by manufacturer and model.
• Remote fob inserts or blades: Some Hyundai Tucson fobs also come with keys that you can use to physically unlock your SUV. If needed, you can replace this part separately from the main fob. As long as you still have the fob, you will not need a replacement transponder chip. If you do not have the fob, then the replacement blade will unlock doors but not start the car.

If you need replacement keys, the following information will allow you to find the correct key blanks.

• Year: The Hyundai Tucson includes several generations of vehicle split up by year. Depending on the year in which Hyundai released your vehicle, compatible key blanks will differ considerably.
• Trims: Some trim levels and options like touchscreen and Sport upgrades have different automatic locks. If so, your Hyundai will require different key blanks from base models.
• Part options: Blank options will depend on your specific needs. For spare emergency keys, you can choose hideaway blanks that only unlock doors. If part of a key breaks, such as the shell or blade, you can choose to replace only that part.
