The cold months began to move in and I just couldn't bear the thought of another winter(4th) without a car starter. I have a push button start and I don't like multiple key fobs, so my only option up until now had been an unlimited range app starter, and with a push button start vehicle the install was an extra $100 and going to be about $600. So for S's and G's I looked to the internet for a "plug and play" solution for my 2012 Sonata, and BOOM! My Key Premium came up in my searches. At first just looking through their site I was skeptical because anyone can write their own reviews or pay friends, etc. So me being a car guy I jump to car forums, where people don't care about your feelings and are brutally honest, and much to my shock everything I read from multiple forums just had nothing but positive things to say. So having some car know how and a 14 day return policy knowing I had time to put it in, I ordered my starter in the late morning I believe, and it shipped that night and I believe I had it day with me living in Utica, NY.
So today I went and I installed my starter. The install was actually fairly easy because I know the car really well and the product matched OEM harnesses perfectly. I popped a few more panels than their video suggested for the push button because I had it previously torn apart for the stereo so I have less screws than the first time removing them, but from what I seen their way will work too, I'm just a bigger dude and can't really get up in their. While the install video wasn't the most detailed video, I've definitely seen worse and it was good enough where I wouldn't lower the rating for it. As far as the box and other cables, that lower panel comes down just like in the video, I followed the order he did with plugging them in. My first time doing it I did not get the 4 confirmation beeps at the end but I unplugged them in reverse order, replugged them back in and on the second try everything worked perfectly. I tucked the box up to the left of the cabin filter, then drilled a small hole in the plastic behind the glove box and zip tied it tight so it holds snug with no vibration.
I'm so happy I pulled the trigger on this, it's very affordable if you don't feel like paying a shop and have some know how or hate the remotes. The quality of the product is good and the install took me about 45 minutes, but like I said I did a little extra and it's about 30 degrees outside lol. If you're searching for an affordable starter you can do yourself, BUY IT!!!
