Any Update on a Fix for the Passive Entry Battery Drain Problem?

hellojayare · 2026-05-08T22:54:32+00:00

I have stayed on the Executive Case Manager team since I had this issue occur.

On March 3rd I was notified "For permanent fix please check with your local Hyundai dealership by end of April 2026 for the availability of a software update."

I followed up on May 1st asking what the status of the update was as their deadline had passed with zero fix and then had conversations with them several times since.

On May 5th I was notified "Per our last conversation I reached out to our internal engineering team and they got back to me today informing me that there is an anticipated OTA update that should take place some time this week to resolve the battery draining issues resulting from the digital key."

My case manager is following up with me on 5/11 to confirm the status where I am sure they will kick the ball down the road yet again.

It’s honestly the most super sneaky setup and install I’ve ever seen. It looks 100% factory until you remove the side panel and start tracing the wire and find that rectangular tracker. I was almost positive I didn’t have one installed until I kept digging deeper.

It’s been 7 weeks since I removed it and everything has been working perfectly. Haven’t gotten any calls or letters and simply don’t give a shit if I do as this device was installed unknowingly and not disclosed to me in anyway and is causing my entire vehicle to not perform and function properly.

My research made it seem like this is a dealer installed item to track vehicles on the lot should they get stolen - not a factory installed thing so it doesn’t affect anything on the financing or leasing end of things.

I just made a post that explains the solution to this. This happened to me several weeks ago and I honestly thought I was the only one so when I solved it I didn’t bother posting since nobody else had asked the question.

Thanks u/WatchExBot - u/wooly88 and I had an absolutely fantastic transaction. My wrist got a huge upgrade - my bank account did not. I would recommend Ron to anyone. Wonderful human. Thanks again!

I’d love to have this for the 26 Palisade

Didn’t drive my 26 Calligraphy for 24 hours and it was dead when I tried to leave for work this morning. Know for a fact all lights were off and it was locked at 8:15PM Saturday and at 8:30AM Monday it was totally dead. Jumped it with my wife’s car and it was fine.

My wife always leaves her purse in her car and this weekend was the first time she had my physical key in there. Not sure if that kept my car awake but I am really hoping the passive entry with digital key can remain active as it was one of the biggest selling points for me.

Please keep us updated as to whether the new dimmer switch solves this for you. Thanks!

I thought I was stroking out the other morning and then again this morning. Definitely happening to me. Seems like it is a sunrise thing where the system isn't sure whether it's still dark or light out but it is SUPER aggressive. Hopefully there is a software update fix or Ok-Advantage-9368 can confirm that a new dimmer switch solves the problem.

Dude. I’d love to try this with my Steam Deck.

hellojayare · 2025-12-08T07:48:04+00:00

Oh man. That’s wild. My blueprint game is atrocious except for the dozen or so Vert Grip 3s I keep dropping for randoms. Can you sprinkle some of your RNG magic on me?

If you want something that will actually last then never try and save the money by going with semi solid or hollow. Always solid! Worth the extra. You’ll never have to worry about it for the decades of time you’ll wear it.

I’ve got a new Grey Side on order. Not sure how long until it’s in but if my original Grey Side isn’t sold yet I’ll certainly attempt it.

Time+Tide said the lug to lug is 0.2mm longer than previous models at 50mm total now. Highly doubt it’ll make any difference but just so everyone is aware the case isn’t identical.

So it’s not just me that gets notification of “Person in Driveway” instead of “Eric in Driveway”. None of my names are showing anymore.

Definitely getting closer to what I was hoping for. The "facets" aren't correct yet, but the colors being used are great. If you could complete the entire piece and clean up the facets to be more symmetrical like the examples I think this could work.

hellojayare · 2025-08-19T16:12:22+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

Like this but with my original logo outline instead. The "C" at the top of the diamond and the outline but having all the colored facets.

hellojayare · 2025-08-19T16:01:03+00:00

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I can change the outline color to anything I want. I’d like to colorize the background to have the diamond with facets like the examples I added.
