Transponder Keys

If your car has transponder key systems, then it uses an electronic chip that communicates with the engine whenever you insert it.

Key Fobs

Kia is one of the most renowned car manufacturers. They have a wide range of models including the Picanto minivan, Sportage SUV and Sedona MPV. These cars come with a variety of unique features, including key fobs that can unlock and lock the vehicle with the push of one button. These keys also use radio waves to communicate with the car's onboard computer making them more secure than traditional metal keys.

This signal is used to open doors and arm alarms. By inserting the key fob into the ignition, you'll be able to start the car.

The dealer or locksmith for cars can program key fobs. The price of a key fob varies on the year and type of the vehicle and the type of key it comes with (chip smart, smart push to start remote or a regular "non-transponder").

Dealership keys may be more expensive than keys produced by auto locksmiths, however they may have better security features. For instance, certain newer automobiles come with the "smart" feature that allows the driver to activate the car by pressing the key fob lock button for ten seconds.

Remote Keys

A Fob remote key is a flat metal key that appears as a normal key. However, it comes with tiny remotes built into its head. This is sometimes called the hands-free key or an advanced key. Fob key systems incorporate a proximity system that is activated when the key is within a certain distance of the vehicle, which can prevent theft.

If your Kia is equipped with a fob or smart key, you'll have to purchase a new one from a dealer or an automotive locksmith. The dealership will require the original key and code for the lock (if it's been modified), as well as proof of ownership. Typically it is a copy or registration or title. An automotive locksmith can usually provide the key after confirmation of ownership, and they will cut the new key in-person.
