Kona keyless entry and radio issues
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Hyundai Kona diesel is experiencing issues with keyless entry, engine starting, and weak radio signals. The problem seems linked to the bumper antenna, possibly due to a faulty cable or connector. A similar case was resolved by addressing these components, suggesting a visit to a workshop for a quick fix.

Yeah, now that you mention it, the car radio signal has been pretty weak lately. Barely picks up anything! Is that connected somehow? What did you end up doing to fix yours?

Yep, weak radio signal pretty much confirms it. Sounds like the bumper antenna module or its connection is kaput. I'd bet on a faulty cable or connector. I ended up taking mine to a workshop – they sorted it out pretty quickly. Best to get it checked; these electrical gremlins can be a pain to trace yourself.

Thanks a bunch! Sounds like I'll bite the bullet and take it to the shop. The error code pointed towards a similar diagnosis - cable or plug connection of the component defective, they quoted around 95€ for the repair. Hopefully, that's all it is. Appreciate the insight!

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had similar gremlins with my Kona. The symptoms you describe, especially the keyless entry and starting issues, definitely ring a bell. Is your car radio also acting funny? Like, poor signal?
