This came directly from my Hyundia service guy:

Unlock the car, get in and close all doors. Turn the ignition key to ACC, press the Unlock button till blinkers flash. That's it. Get out of the car and see if it works.

Good luck.

    Probably more than should have, Bianca. Glad my advice helped. Love my Tiburon but it was definitely a learning curve. :-)

I have literally just done this...

Open the car with the key, and set the alarm off.
Close the doors.
Insert the key in to the ignition and press Lock.
Remove the key from the ignition and press Lock again.
Press Unlock.

Tried and tested!

How do I reprogramme my key fob on 56 coupe

To reprogram your key fob on a 56 coupe, you will likely need specific instructions tailored to your vehicle's make and model. Since you mentioned a "56 coupe," it's possible you are referring to a classic car. In that case, the key fob reprogramming process may vary significantly compared to modern vehicles.

Why is the red light flasing on key fob of 2003 hyundai coupe?

where are you, your key, in kitchen, standing near car, or in car or key inserted in the ignition, I will answer , IN KITCHEN.
the operators guide, lost>? it might the first clue.
http://justgivemethedamnmanual.com/hyundai/hyundai-tiburon-owners-manual/
the fob has a light. ok , Factory Fob, or aftermarket?

the car came with 2 fobs, new, so do both fail or act odd like this.
id bet not.
and the fob has and LED lamp , if it sticks on , that means'
the FOB is no good, the switches are stuck, ON.
time to buy a new FOB or get McGiver fix yours at x2 new cost.
you can also replace the battery and how that fixes it and or clean
the insides, of fob. at same time
page 1.5 above covers the fob.

the lamp flashes when the button is pressed.
so the button is stuck,, broken./

2010 hyundai elantra

im sorry to say but on this one you will have to go to a hyundai dealer and they will have to use there scan tool to reprogram the new key fob and also have the old keys with you because they will have to reprogram them as well. if you do not bring the old ones and they program the new one, the old fob will no longer work. this job will make you pay a half hour for a five minute job.
