Hyundai ix20 Faulty Locking and Starting

Hi, I'm having issues with my 2016 Hyundai ix20 gasoline. I'm getting an error stored in the error memory, the unlocking/locking is faulty, and the engine won't start without the key in the ignition. Mileage is at 158270 km. Suspect it's the bumper antenna. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Hyundai ix20 is experiencing issues with faulty unlocking/locking and the engine not starting without the key in the ignition. The problem is suspected to be related to the bumper antenna. A similar issue in another Hyundai model was resolved by addressing a defective cable or plug connection. The suggested solution is to inspect and potentially replace the cable, which successfully resolved the issue in this case.

I had similar issues with my Hyundai i30. Does it point to a defective cable or plug connection? I'm not sure it's the antenna mount itself. Do you have a way to check the cable?

Thanks, that's helpful. How did you narrow it down to the cable and plug? Was it just visual inspection, or did you use a multimeter or something?

Visual mostly, but honestly, I'd just take it to a workshop. It can be tricky to diagnose intermittent electrical issues. In my case, I ended up paying around 100€, so likely your repair cost will be similar, maybe 95€.

Thanks, appreciate the advice. Ended up taking it in, and you were right, it was the cable. Replaced it and all good now.
