Our car has the keyless entry/kill switch. We stopped using it several years ago when we couldn't find replacements for the original keys. A week ago when we went to start the car the alarm sounded and hhe car wouldn't start. We were eventually able to reset the system but it happened again and we could not reset it. Battery? system short? Our current option is to have it towed to a dealer in town - any suggestions

SOURCE: How to stop car alarm

If you have a "factory system", cycling the key in the ignition on-off 5 times will shut off the alarm.

SOURCE: Don't understand buttons on keyless entry remote fob.

If it is a factory remote it is either for the trunk release or the "panic" feature. Are the buttons not labeled?

    When i try to start me 2008 sonata the alarm goes off and the engine will not turn over. what can i do?

    Your Sonata is equipped with a "Keyless Entry & Burglar Alarm" system. When the Burglar Alarm is activated, it KILLS the starting system through the used of a relay called the "Burglar Alarm Relay". This mode prevents engine starting with the key.
    Solution #1
    Disarm the system with the Keyless Remote (key fob) If you don't have this remote (or its battery is dead) replace the battery & try disarming again.
    Solution #2
    Enter the vehicle & insert the key in the ignition and turn the ignition switch to 'RUN'. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the alarm stops. You should then be able to start the engine.

    Have a qualified/certified Hyundai Service Technician properly diagnose this issue.

    2004 Hyundai Elantra won't start, emergency flashers keep blinking, can't shut off, lights dim, can't jump start, clicking from under dash from relays. What could it be?

    The 'Keyless Entry & Burglar Alarm System" is activated. You must 'Disarm' the system using the Keyless Entry Remove (Key Fob) to "Reset" the system. The reason the engine won't start is due to the burglar alarm - it has a "Starter Kill" circuit which is activated when the alarm is activated. The alarm must be DEactivated to DEactivate the 'Starter Kill' circuit.
    Another way to start the engine is to get in the car, put the key in the ignition and turn it to 'ON" and wait 3 to 5 minutes until the emergency flashers stop/turn off. Afterward, you should be able to start the engine. NOTE: This does NOT reset the burglar alarm. It will go off again when you enter the vehicle without using the remote/key fob.

    I have a 2003 Vw Jetta Gt. My keyless entry remote stopped working a couple of days ago. I have 2 so I tried to use the other one but it didn't work either. I changed the batteries in both and I also...

    KEY WORDS to search for are
    2003+VOLKSWAGEN+remote+receiver...

    or "keyless+module"

    I only got hits back from eBay (& AMAZON)...
    which would indicate this is a fairly ROBUST part...
    (TYPICALLY: really popular parts = high failure rate).
    ((in my opinion))


    No direct
    (part number) hits...!!


    Look here... Appears to be inside the center console
    (surmised without proper documentation)

    Looks like
    VW VOLKSWAGEN OEM Phaeton Keyless Entry Receiver for Key Fob Remote...

    also...
    VW VOLKSWAGEN OEM Phaeton Keyless Entry Receiver for Key Fob Remote...

    Possibly AMAZON... (use your own module number)
    EXAMPLE
    Amazon com 2003 jetta keyless module

    Hope I am helping...

    2004 Chevy Impala Keyless Entry System Stopped Working

    Do the power door locks work when used with the switches located on the interior doors? If so, then it sounds to me like you got a problem with your key fob. Probably a dead battery in it.
