hello all! i just bought a 2001 hyundai santa fe v6. it has a command start installed and the brand(according to the sticker under the hood) is arctic start. though it does nto have a remote and i seem to cant find one any where or what it looks like. I brought it to every shop in my area and no one even heard of arctic start. what im looking for is a new remote and how to program it...

here is all the number i can find on the brain under the dash:

RT12A00 148574 04 91178 also says A-RT12 and also A24

i have attached pictures below of these numbers....also the antenna has 2 red lights on it and a single button.

Arctic Start is part of Firstech LLC. Here is a link to their WEB site ; https://www.arcticstart.com/

Their other brands are Compustar and iDatalink. That being said the white sticker looks very similar to Ultra Start stickers. Don't recognize the model number but the A24 represents the F/W version. Their antenna's have twin LEDs ( older units were Red & newer units are Blue ). You might have a OEM'd Ultra Start unit with the AM freq transmitters. Not sure what they did in Canada. They are usually 4 button remotes that are pretty universal throughout the line. Programming replacement remotes is easy. Here is a link to Ultra Start :

Here is a picture of the old style antenna with the Red LEDs :

Newer antenna's have one round harness lead with 4 internal wires. Newer antenna's are clear plastic with twin Blue LEDs. The most recent have only one Blue LED.

Does you antenna harness look like the photo or is it a single round cable?

You could try doing a search on EBAY.CA for MKYTXPT4G. That is the FCC number of the basic 4 button AM freq remote.
As previously mentioned, your system is an older model and made for the Canadian market so I can't be positive it will work.
You might find a good condition used remote for under $20 that you could try to program to your system.
