How to use a phone to start your Hyundai
You can start your Hyundai immediately from your phone if it has the Bluelink technology, which allows your car to communicate with a smartphone. In fact, you can adjust the temperature to your preference and turn on appliances like the defroster.
Hyundai cars with Bluelink are given three years of free service. You may also control your doors’ locking and unlocking, on-demand alarms, diagnostics, and even a remote car-finding tool for those busy shopping or post-concert days.
My Hyundai can Blue Link start it.
Hyundai Bluelink subscribers can connect to their vehicle via their phone via the Bluelink Mobile App. With the help of this software, you can remote start your car, turn on the lights and horn, unlock and lock your car remotely, and do a lot more.
Without Bluelink, can I remotely start my Hyundai?
No, only Hyundai vehicles with push-button start key fobs and either an automatic transmission or a dual clutch transmission are eligible for the remote start option. Even said, not all models provide Remote Start. In addition, using Remote Start requires a Blue Link Remote Package membership.
How can I tell whether the Hyundai I own has remote starting?
If your car has a remote starter, the owner’s manual will have information about your unique remote starter and how it functions. To see if this feature is present, look in the manual’s index.
Listed below are few well-known automobiles with a factory remote start option:
- Accord, Civic, and Insight from Honda
- GM automobiles
- Honda Accord
- ZDX and TLX Acura
- Tribeca, Legacy, and Outback Subaru models
- Navara Altima

Will my Hyundai still start without the key fob?
I have a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running and a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun because I enjoy 2-seater, RWD convertibles. I compete in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000 in air-cooled Volkswagens. I’m the only driver competing in an EV, the Rivian R1T, and I’ve twice won the seven-day navigational challenge known as the Rebelle Rally.
The technology, luxury, and design of the 2020 Hyundai Sonata have all undergone significant enhancements, and there is also a cool new piece of technology. With Hyundai’s new Digital Key, Sonata owners may start their cars, unlock their vehicles, and sound the horn through a smartphone app. Of course, this is not brand-new technology, but Hyundai has a trick up its sleeve.
By placing their phone on the Sonata’s door handle, drivers may unlock the vehicle via NFC (near-field communication). While some automobiles can be started remotely, others require a standard key fob to be inside the vehicle in order to properly engage the vehicle. Even while the Sonata will still be marketed with a smart fob, all you really need to start driving is your phone. The Sonata will give you complete access to the vehicle and even alter the seat, mirrors, radio, and driver assistance parameters to your preset profile if you simply insert it into the wireless charger/NFC reader.

Additionally, you may give friends and family access to the automobile for however long you like by sharing your key. Owners can theoretically be anywhere in the world and grant access to their Sonata to up to four others because sharing happens directly via the app. Imagine lending your Sonata to a friend without any additional fuss while you’re away on a business vacation.
Also included is an NFC card that functions similarly to the one used to open a hotel room. To continue using Digital Key even if someone else has to drive your car while you’re out and about, you may either keep this as a backup or give it to someone like a valet driver or parking attendant.
The catch is that as of right now, since only Android phones support NFC, this technology only functions with them. Except for the entry model, all versions of the 2020 Hyundai Sonata—which should hit showrooms in October—come standard with Digital Key.
My stolen Hyundai can it be tracked?
Hyundai will work with local law enforcement officials to use GPS to locate your car if it is stolen. This makes sure you can return to your car as fast, safely, and stress-free as possible.
What is the operation of Hyundai Blue Drive?
The Intelligent Stop and Go system, or ISG, which is predominantly used in Hyundai electric and hybrid vehicles, is another component of the Blue Drive technology system. When the automobile is not moving, the ISG system turns the engine off automatically. For those who frequently navigate stop-and-go traffic or deal with traffic signals while driving around town, this is really advantageous. Even for a brief while, turning off the engine allows you to conserve energy and petrol. The vehicle’s engine automatically restarts when you depress the clutch.
How can I determine if my car has remote starting?
You must first check at your key fob to see if you have the remote start option. The remote starter button has an arrow-like form.
If your key fob has this button, your car has remote starting capability. Press the button that locks the car once to try remote starting. Your engine will start when you press and hold the remote-start button for at least four seconds.
The climate control and parking lights will turn on as soon as the engine begins. Additionally, the heated/ventilated seats and the rear window defroster may turn on. You must only move out of park after pressing the start button on the dashboard since this function starts the engine but does not switch on the ignition.
Press and hold the button with the curved arrow on it to turn the engine off if you change your mind. Parking lot lights will go out.
