Kia Keys Replacement Kia makes the lives of Brandon drivers a bit easier by offering this hands-free locking/unlocking feature. However the remote key typically requires a battery replacement. The majority of people will visit the local locksmith. This is a low-cost option, and most locksmiths can code your new key right on the spot. Another option is to go to the dealer. Transponder Keys If your vehicle has transponder key systems and it has a special chip to communicate with the engine every time you insert it. This is a security measure to stop theft of your car since it is unable to start the vehicle without the original key. The chip is programmed by your dealer, and you can only obtain the replacement from them or a locksmith who is certified. The key blank can be duplicated. It works on any ignitions that have a Transponder. This kind of key is more expensive than a normal metal key, but it gives added security to your car. It also makes the car more difficult to steal from an old-fashioned or novice car thieves who try to wire it hot. However, it's not a foolproof system as car thieves are always looking for new ways to start cars, even using transponder keys. If you don't want pay for the additional security that a transponder can provide the user, a non-transponder is the more affordable option. These types of keys operate like standard 10 cut keys and are compatible with all ignitions, except for the MATS and PASSLOCK systems. Key Fobs Kia is one of the most popular car manufacturers. They offer a range of models like the Picanto minivan, Sportage SUV and Sedona MPV. They come with a range of remarkable features, including key fobs that unlock, lock, and start the vehicle at the touch of one button. These keys use radio waves to connect directly with the onboard computer of the vehicle and are therefore safer than the traditional metal keys. A key fob is usually designed like a remote control, and it contains a small microchip called transponder. When it is activated the chip transmits an individual signal to the dashboard receiver. This signal is used to unlock doors and arm alarms. The key fob can also be used to start the engine by inserting it into the ignition. Key fobs can be programmed by the dealer or by an automotive locksmith. The price of a key fob depends on the type and year of the car and the type of key it's equipped with (chip, smart, push to start, remote or a regular “non-transponder”). Keys for dealers are more expensive than keys created by an auto locksmith, however they might have better security features. Some of the latest cars have a “smart feature” that allows drivers to call the car by holding the button on the key fob for 10 seconds. Remote Keys A Fob remote key is a flat, metal key that looks just like a regular key. However, it has an extremely small remote that is built into its head. This is also known as a hands-free or advanced key. Fob key systems incorporate a proximity system that's activated when the key is within a specific distance of the vehicle, which helps to prevent theft. If your Kia comes with a fob or a smart key, you will need to get 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 has been changed) and evidence of ownership of the vehicle. This is typically an official copy of the title or registration. After verifying ownership, an automotive locksmith is typically able to provide the key and cut the key onsite. Finding a replacement key through the dealer could be more expensive than from an auto locksmith. Certain Kia dealers charge more than other dealers, so shop around. You could save money when your key fob is damaged and you can replace the case rather than purchasing the new key. There are many hardware stores that offer key fob cases and they're typically cheaper than the cost of a new key. Keyless Entry You can unlock your car using keyless entry. It works by transmitting a radio frequency signal from your key fob to a receiver inside the car, which unlocks the door and begins the engine. Certain systems let you open the rear hatch and trunk. You can purchase a new car that has this feature, but you can also buy an aftermarket kit to put on your vehicle. These kits are sold by many retailers and can be bought online or at certain car dealerships. They range from the basic model that can only unlock doors, to more advanced models that include remote starting and smartphone integration. Some models even have an alarm that is built-in. Before you decide to add this feature to your vehicle, read the instruction manual and decide whether it's compatible with your particular vehicle. Some experts believe that these systems are less secure than traditional keys as they are susceptible to hacking. However, many manufacturers have developed technologies which should stop keyless car theft. G28 come with an in-built sleep mode that blocks the transmission of the key signal when it is not in use for a period of time. If you decide to add this feature to your vehicle, ensure that you select a good product and follow the instructions carefully. You'll probably need a wire cutter/stripper, soldering iron, electrical tape and harnesses for the installation. Be sure to disconnect your car battery before you start and follow all the safety guidelines when working with power tools.
