How to test the car remote with your phone

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Key

Video tutorial

In this video we will see how to test the functionality of our remote control, simply using the radio of our phone. Many remote controls have a small diode that lets us see if the remote control is working; but for those that do not have this function, we can show a method to test its operation.

We take our smartphone and put on the headphones; in fact, we will need to turn on the radio but we should not hear it playing. We turn on the radio app and try to find an empty station, but it is also fine if it is transmitting, as long as we do not hear it (that's why we put on the headphones).

Now we put the remote control near the phone, tuned to this radio station, and press the button; if the remote control is working correctly, we should hear a change in the sound of the station.

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.
