Transponder Keys

These vehicles have a number of amazing features, such as key fobs that open and lock the vehicle at the press of one button. These keys also use radio waves to connect with the car's computer which makes them more secure than traditional keys made of metal.

Key fobs look like a remote and contains the tiny microchip that is known as transponder. When it is activated the chip sends a specific signal to the dashboard receiver. This signal is then used to open the doors and arm the alarm. By inserting the key fob in the ignition, you can start the vehicle.

The locksmith or dealer can program key fobs. The cost of a keyfob is based on both the type and year of the vehicle, as well as what kind of key is in it (chip smart, push-to-start or smart remote, regular "non transponder").

Dealership keys are more expensive than keys made by an auto locksmith, however they might have better security features. Certain cars are equipped with a "smart feature" that allows the driver to summon the vehicle by holding the button on the key fob for 10 seconds.

Remote Keys

If your Kia comes with a fob, or smart key, you'll require a replacement from the dealer or an automotive locksmith. The dealer will need to have the original key, the code for the lock cylinder (if it's been changed) and proof of ownership of the vehicle. Typically it is a copy or the registration or title. An auto locksmith will usually give the key following verification of ownership. they will cut the key on-site.

Getting a replacement key from the dealer can be more expensive than from an auto locksmith. Some Kia dealers charge more than other dealers, so shop around.
