Can I adjust the sensitivity of the power boot button on remote key fob.
On two occasions now I have found my boot open, I must have pressed the button whilst it was in my pocket.
Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity or range of the key fob.

something in your pocket must be pushing the button ;)
I love my car, it's just a shame it was made by Hyundai

what model car do you have?

There is an option on the ultimate that they have an auto open if you stand by your boot it will beep then open on its own.
but you can turn this feature off in the menu in the car.

No button adjustments. Although I’ve not found any of the key fob buttons to be especially sensitive…

However cars with electric tailgate, have a ‘smart tailgate’ option, meaning if activated, when stood at the rear of the car, you will hear 3 beeps, at which time the tailgate will open.

Yes it's the Ultimate and it's not to do with standing at the rear to open.
This is happening because the button is being press whilst in my pocket, I just wondered if there was any option to reduce range or sensitivity.
many thanks.

You might benefit from a key cover/case. I got this one of ebay...

It looks nice, although very bulky (more than i expected). But it does add a lot of resistance to the buttons, so would think would be less prone to accidental button presses.
