I want to disable the HALO auto locking function on my 2010 i30 and I found a friendly dealer (Giant Hyundai in Perth) who offered to do it for free. They found that they could not get the workshop computer to connect to the car's computer and thus could not do what I asked. They have now tried twice but no luck. Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?  Trev

To do that I believe they need to firstly use Hyundai's vin-to-pin software, which reveals a code (pin) that allows the link to be made. Do they know this?

My original (FD) dealership had to go through this sequence when they were adding a second keyfob to my setup and changing the HALO locking activation speed.

If the scantool is not talking there is possibly a power supply or CANBUS communication breakdown.

I imagine its a concern with your vehicle not the scantool or else they would have said something.

The thing is, when they replaced the valve body of the Auto trans about 6 months ago (was still under warranty NOT ANY MORE) they would have had to use the "scantool" but nothing was said to suggest there was a problem.  :(
