Your private information is secured because there is no screen or button control.

Valet mode didn’t function when the most recent version was made available, as I tend to recall. Okay, so it does now. From the main menu, choose Valet mode. Choose a pin for this Valet session. Confirm the pin a second time. It locks the infotainment system and restricts access to contacts, locations, and other information for a valet. To end the valet session after receiving your car, enter the pin.
The Blue Link app allows you to view the mode’s status. If you’d like, you may switch it off and on again through the app. The more helpful aspect is that you receive a report at the conclusion of the valet session that details the top speed obtained, the distance traveled, and the duration of the session. For the last three valet sessions, the app keeps reports. Check out the image below.
In the Vehicle Safeguards, I also configured the Valet Alert with a range that made sense for the location where I would be using this feature.

Guys, after reading the post on the new update, you probably expected this coming. new problem! After contacting for an hour, Bluelink still did not assist me and had no idea what valet mode was. Post any answers you may have here, please! Please let us know if this is working for you.
It’s unfortunate that Hyundai does not pay attention to customer complaints and resolve the issues. No, they must go and offer something that hardly nobody wants or needs. When will kids start paying attention and understanding?
When the car is in valet mode, what happens?
The valet switch makes it unnecessary for you to provide your transmitter to parking attendants or garage personnel by momentarily disabling all alarm functionalities. All alarm features are disregarded when the system is in valet mode, but the remote panic feature and remote door locks are still functional. The system must first be disarmed before the valet mode can be used. You can do this by using the key chain transmitter or by turning on your unique manual override code.
- Turn the ignition key to the on position before getting inside the car.
- Turn the valet switch to the off position or press and hold the valet pushbutton switch. The valet mode of the system will not be changed.
- Make sure the ignition is turned to the on position, depress and release the pushbutton switch, or turn the valet switch to the on position to resume regular operation.
NOTE: Never forget to switch off valet mode. This will guarantee that the car is always kept safe.
Which vehicles provide valet mode?
Since 2014, Chevrolet has offered the Corvette in valet mode. A Corvette owner can enable valet mode before handing over the keys by going to the settings menu and entering a 4-digit code. To safeguard the owner’s privacy, this will electronically lock the center console and glove box and turn off the audio and infotainment system. Thanks to the Corvette’s performance data system, which was created to assess and fine-tune on-track performance, valet mode even goes one step further and is capable of recording HD footage of the driver as well as everything the valet driver does. You can inspect the RPM, speed, shift patterns, and g-forces your (un)lucky valet generated when you get your car back.
Describe a valet key.
There are many types of valet keys, but they all basically function as the extra key that comes with the car. Brands with valet keys include BMW and Audi. Many sports cars also have valet keys with clever technology. The key is mostly meant to be given to valets so they can park people’s cars or repair shops so they may use them. The valet key will start the vehicle and open the door, but it won’t allow access to the glove box or trunk.
Where is the button for the valet program?
Usually, the driver’s or passenger’s side under the dash. A plastic box with wires protruding from it is what it is. Where the wires enter it, plugs will be present. There could be two to four plugs.

Has Hyundai installed a tracking system?

Does a Hyundai key fob have remote start capability?
It could initially seem self-explanatory. Your key fob has a remote start button, but using it doesn’t just involve pressing a button. You must lock the doors with the key fob before pressing the remote start button (even if the doors are locked already).
Hold the remote start button after locking the door for 4 seconds. Holding the button down for at least two seconds is necessary for it to function. Your Hyundai’s parking lights will blink in response to each command.
The heating and cooling systems in your Hyundai will operate until the pre-set temperatures once it is started. If no additional action is taken after 10 minutes, the car will again switch off. The car will turn off once again if you press the remote start button once more.

Do valet keys impose a speed cap?
Most valet keys don’t put restrictions on your ability to accelerate or drive at a certain pace. However, certain cars, like Tesla, have a more advanced valet key.
The maximum speed that a Tesla driver can achieve when utilizing the valet key is 70 mph. Additionally, only 25% of the vehicle’s acceleration power may be used by the driver. This is done to prevent valet drivers from speeding up or wrecking the car.
How far is a valet key good for?
You (or the person who has it) can use it to drive your car wherever you want to go because valet keys essentially serve the same purpose as conventional car keys with the exception that they cannot open certain storage facilities in your vehicle. There is no distance restriction as long as your vehicle has fuel.
Hyundai digital keys are they free?
Hyundai Digital Key, which enables the Sonata to be unlocked, locked, started, and driven with a smartphone, is a new feature that will debut on the 2020 Sonata. The technology also enables the main user to grant three additional users access to the Digital Key. A “shared key” can truly be sent to a recipient from a great distance away.
Holding your smartphone up to the driver or passenger door handle unlocks the car using Hyundai Digital Key. Simply put the phone in the wireless charger once inside, hit the starter, and drive away. Hyundai Digital Key uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for security, which, unlike Bluetooth, necessitates that the smartphone and scanner be a few centimeters apart in order to operate the vehicle. When you are nearby your automobile, nobody else can simply open the doors and start the engine because of the close proximity.
There is no Hyundai Digital Key for iPhones, however it is compatible with the majority of Android phones. The Hyundai Digital Key system may be configured using the free Digital Key App, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Although you can lock and start your car without the app open, it also has Bluetooth-enabled features that let you do other things like engage other features when the app is open.
Hyundai Digital Key eliminates the need for the Sonata’s two smart keys, which still come with the vehicle and allow for passive entry and keyless start. Additionally, you’ll get an NFC Key Card that you can keep in your wallet and use as a backup phone for iPhone users, for valet services, while you leave the Sonata for maintenance, or if your Android phone runs out of battery.
Hyundai Digital Key, the most recent development in car and smartphone connection, makes its debut on the 2020 Sonata and will likely be a feature on upcoming models that Hyundai introduces or redesigns.
