For Hyundai Tucson key fob replacement around McKinney and nearby cities in Collin, Denton and Dallas counties, the year decides the key. The 2021-2024 Tucson runs a proximity smart fob, with a 4, 5 or 7-button version depending on trim. Apex Locksmith Pros handles both the cutting and the immobilizer programming for your Tucson on-site, working from the VIN, so there is no dealer trip. Ask on the phone and you get the flat total before dispatch, and no call-out fee is charged.

What Key Does the Hyundai Tucson Use?
The Hyundai Tucson runs two different key systems depending on year and trim. Older Tucsons (roughly through the early-to-mid 2010s) use a transponder key. Many of those have a laser-cut/sidewinder blade with a flip-style remote-head fob, and the chip has to be programmed to the car's immobilizer before it'll start the engine. Newer Tucsons (the third gen and the current 2022-and-up redesign) move to a proximity smart fob for push-to-start, plus there's a hidden mechanical emergency blade tucked inside the fob for the door. Both the transponder keys and the smart fobs need immobilizer programming through the OBD port, and on most Tucsons we register that fob to the car by pulling key data off the VIN. If your trim still uses a turn key with a remote, we can do remote-head keys too. We carry the blanks and the proximity fobs and program everything at your location.
The most common Tucson call
A common one on the Tucson: the smart fob still unlocks the doors but the car won't recognize it for push-to-start, or it only works pressed right against the start button. Most of the time that's a dead coin cell inside the fob (a CR2032), not a dead fob. Swap the battery and it usually wakes back up. The other frequent call is the worn flip key on older Tucsons, where the blade gets sloppy in the ignition or the buttons quit. We can re-cut a fresh blade by your VIN or replace the whole remote-head key and program it on the spot.
Hyundai Tucson Key Fob FCC IDs
Flip your fob over: the FCC ID is printed on the back of the case. Find it below, or just read it to our dispatcher. It tells us the exact remote your Hyundai Tucson takes before the van rolls out.
| Years | Key type | FCC ID |
|---|---|---|
| 2021-2024 | Proximity smart fob (4 / 5 / 7-button by trim) | TQ8-FOB-4F26, TQ8-FOB-4F27, TQ8-FOB-4F28 |
Trim and market can change the fob, and several IDs often fit one model year. We confirm the exact part by VIN on every job, so a mismatched guess never reaches your driveway.

What Do Hyundai Tucson Owners Ask?
Straight answers for Hyundai Tucson owners in McKinney and nearby cities: which key your car uses, what to have ready and how on-site programming works.
Yes. We program Tucson transponder keys and push-to-start smart fobs right at your car through the OBD port. We pull your key data by VIN, cut the blade, and register the fob to your immobilizer, no dealer trip needed.
Yes, that's an all-keys-lost job and we handle it on-site. We generate a new key from your VIN, cut it, and program it to the car. Lost-only-key jobs take a bit longer than adding a spare, and proof of ownership is required, but you don't have to tow it anywhere.
It depends on the year. Older transponder and flip keys are on the lower end; the newer proximity smart fobs cost more because the fob itself is pricier. Either way we usually land well under dealer pricing, and we give you the full out-the-door number before we start.
Yes. The 2022-and-up Tucson runs a proximity smart fob with a hidden emergency blade, and we register it to the car by VIN right in your driveway, no dealer appointment. Older Tucsons with the flip-style remote-head keys or basic transponders are just as routine. Every model year is covered; the VIN picks the part.
It depends on the year. 2021-2024 Hyundai Tucson: TQ8-FOB-4F26 or TQ8-FOB-4F27 or TQ8-FOB-4F28. The ID is printed on the back of your fob case. Trim and market can change it, so we confirm the exact part by VIN before the van rolls out.
