Anti-Theft Software Upgrade FAQs
When will the software upgrade become available?
The upgrade is available now.
How do I receive this software upgrade?
The Hyundai Anti-Theft upgrade can be done at the Napleton Hyundai Chicago service center near Oak Lawn and will take around one hour to finish. Once complete, our technicians will place a decal on the inside window to alert car thieves that your vehicle is protected, making it less likely they'll even target your car.
What's involved in the upgrade?
The anti-theft software upgrade modifies specific control modules in the car and will trigger an "ignition kill" feature when the doors are locked using the key fob. The vehicle cannot be started in popular theft modes unless the key fob unlocks the doors and deactivates the feature.
What is an engine immobilizer?
An engine immobilizer provides an extra layer of security for a vehicle and helps prevent theft. It employs an installed security device that eliminates unauthorized access and theft using an electronic system that prevents the engine from starting without the correct key or programmed key fob. Even if a thief breaks into the car and tries bypassing the starter, the immobilizer will prevent the engine from starting without the correct key.

Does my Hyundai vehicle have an engine immobilizer?
Most Hyundai cars have an engine immobilizer as a standard feature. To confirm whether your specific Hyundai model has this feature, refer to your owner's manual or contact the Napleton Hyundai Chicago service team for assistance.
To determine whether your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with an engine immobilizer, look for a small symbol on the dashboard that resembles a car with a key inside. This symbol indicates that the immobilizer system is active. When you press the start button, you hear a beep or chime, indicating that the immobilizer is activated and the vehicle is ready to start.
If your Hyundai car or SUV was manufactured after November 2021 and has a push-button starter, it will likely have an engine immobilizer. You may check if your vehicle qualifies for the anti-theft software upgrade.
What if the software upgrade isn't compatible with my vehicle?
Some older models from 2011-2021 without engine immobilizers won't accommodate the software upgrade. If yours is among them, Hyundai will provide a reimbursement program for steering wheel locks to help keep your vehicle safe in and around Lincolnwood.
