Hi everyone, I just got a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid AWD and I love it! But I’ve noticed a few things since I bought it in late September.
I had a 2014 Hyundai before, and it would unlock just fine even with the keys buried deep in my purse.
Anyone else noticing these changes?
The seat heating/cooling on remote start seems to have disappeared for a lot of us. Maybe it’s just a bug.

It is a bug.

Really? Yikes.

Whoa, I just checked, and mine’s gone too. It was definitely there a couple of weeks ago.
I don’t carry a purse, but I sometimes keep my keys in my backpack, and I’ve never had trouble with the car unlocking. I do have the digital key set up on my phone, so maybe that helps? Digital key can be a little unreliable at times, though.

Hmm, I haven’t tried the digital key yet. I keep my key in a fanny pack that’s inside my bag, and honestly, I usually end up unlocking the door with my phone because it’s quicker than digging for the key.

Try changing the fob battery. Mine didn’t even last a year! I’ve had better luck with the cheap ones from the dollar store. Also, if my phone and fob are too close together in my bag, they don’t work well together.
I’m really hoping the heated seat option missing is just an error. I’d suggest everyone submit feedback about it in the app just to be safe. Let’s make sure they don’t actually plan to remove it.

I noticed it too. How do I submit an issue?
@GenesisGuruOnline
Go to the MyHyundai app, tap on the bottom-right ‘menu,’ scroll to ‘Help & Support,’ and then choose ‘submit an app issue.’ There’s also an option on their website to report problems. I submitted through both to make sure they take it seriously!
I’m frustrated with the key-in-purse issue. I have a 2024 Calligraphy trim, and I can’t get it to unlock unless I tap my thumb on the handle.

Hmmm, I’ll give this a try. Strange that it’s not available in the Calligraphy trim.
Just noticed the heated seats option missing. Did anyone reach out to Hyundai about it?

I did, but I’m still waiting for a response. I saw that they’re doing maintenance on the app until the 13th, so hopefully everything goes back to normal after that.

Here’s the message that shows up when you open the app:
‘Notice
From 11/6 until 11/13 between 9pm PST and 2am PST, there may be downtime affecting remote services and emergency assistance. For emergencies, please contact local services using your mobile phone.’
@BushnellRides
I sent them an email too.
The heated seat option is still there. Tap ‘Start Engine,’ then choose ‘Engine Start Without Presets,’ and it should be under ‘Seat Temperatures.’
Check under Climate Start. It seems like they moved it, and now you can set the climate and seats from there.

There’s a toggle for seat heating if you go through the different settings.
