Two button key shell for Hyundai Santa Fe and Tucson
Which Hyundai models this replacement shell suits
This two button case is listed as a guide fit for the Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L from 2005 to 2008, the Santa Fe from 2009 to 2012 and the Tucson from 2008 to 2010. One detail matters more than the model year, though: the shell only suits remotes where the battery sits on the circuit board rather than inside the back cover. Pop your current key open and look at where the coin cell lives before you order. Hyundai owners with newer flip-style keys should instead consider the Hyundai remote flip key shell for i20 i30 ix35, which comes with an uncut blade. If anything about the fit is unclear, compare the blade profile in the photos with your own key too.
A cheap fix for a cracked or worn Hyundai remote
Cracked seams, missing buttons and worn-out rubber are the usual reasons these remotes end up rattling around in a kitchen drawer. Rather than paying for a complete new key, this ABS plastic case lets you move your existing circuit board and battery contact into a fresh housing in a few minutes with basic hand tools. The kit supplies the front and back casing, a soft rubber button pad and a keyring attachment, and the finished key protects the electronics from dirt and moisture again. A similar approach works across other makes, such as the Hyundai Kia 3 button flip key shell for Sorento, Soul, Cerato, Sportage and Rio. The rubber pad in particular transforms a remote whose buttons have gone spongy or split, restoring the positive click the key had when new.
Doing the swap at home
Start by splitting your old case along the seam with a small flat screwdriver, then lift the circuit board out gently, noting which way it faces. Transfer the board and the battery contact into the new housing, press the rubber pad into place and clip the halves together. There is no soldering and no programming, because the electronics the car recognises never change. The whole job usually takes less time than making a coffee. We stock equivalent cases for plenty of other vehicles too, including a Toyota 2 button key shell for Camry Avalon.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my Hyundai remote suits this shell?
Open your current remote and check where the battery is mounted. This case only fits remotes where the battery sits directly on the circuit board. If the battery clips into the back cover instead, the shell will not suit your key. Also confirm your vehicle falls within the Santa Fe 2005–2012 or Tucson 2008–2010 guide range.
Does the shell come with a key blade?
The kit includes the front and back casing, a soft rubber button pad and a keyring attachment. It is designed as a housing replacement for the remote unit, so you transfer your existing internals across. Check the product photos against your key before ordering to make sure the layout matches what you currently carry.
Will my car need reprogramming after I change the case?
No programming is needed. You are reusing the original circuit board, so the vehicle keeps recognising the same remote signal it always has. The swap is purely mechanical: open the old case, move the board and battery contact across, fit the new rubber pad and snap the housing shut. Most people finish in under ten minutes.
What is the delivery time for this key shell?
All orders are dispatched within 24 hours. Standard delivery takes one to five working days within Australia and two to eight working days to New Zealand. Payments can be made with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Shop Pay or Apple Pay, and a 30-day return policy covers you if the shell does not fit.
