Remove the keyring to avoid any obstructions later. Now, unscrew the small screw located at the back of the remote.

Using a lever, gently separate the two halves of the shell through the gap and remove the metal part of the key, leaving the gap empty where it was housed. Now, insert a flathead screwdriver into this gap where the key was and gently lever it to separate the shell without damaging the internal circuit.

Remove the circuit and insert it into the new shell, and your remote will be as good as new.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
