Kia Keys Replacement Kia makes the lives of Brandon drivers a bit easier by offering this hands-free locking/unlocking feature. This remote key is frequently in need of an upgrade to its battery. The majority of people will visit a local locksmith. This is a low-cost option and most locksmiths can code your new key right on site. You can also go to your 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 cars, since it will not start the vehicle without the original keys. The chip is programmed by your dealer, and you can only obtain the replacement from them or an authorized locksmith. The key blank can be duplicated. It works with any ignition that has Transponders. The type of key you choose to use is more than a regular metal one, but offers extra security to your vehicle. It also makes your car harder to steal for an old-fashioned or novice thieves who try to hot wire it. It is not foolproof as car thieves continue to come up with new ways to start vehicles even with transponder keys. If you don't want to pay an extra fee for the added security that a transponder keys provide the user, a non-transponder is an affordable alternative. These keys work like normal 10 cut keys and are compatible with all ignitions, except for MATS and Passlock systems. Key Fobs Kia is one of the most well-known auto manufacturer. They offer a range of models including the Picanto minivan, Sportage SUV and Sedona MPV. These cars are equipped with a host of unique features, including key fobs that unlock and lock the vehicle with the push of a button. These keys use radio waves to communicate directly with the computer onboard of the vehicle which makes them more secure than traditional metal keys. Key fobs look like it's a remote but contains the tiny microchip that is known as transponder. When it is activated the chip transmits a specific signal to the dashboard receiver. This signal is used to unlock the doors and arm the alarm. The key fob can also be used for starting the engine by inserting it into the ignition. Key fobs can be programmed by the dealer or an automotive locksmith. The price of a key fob is contingent on the year and type of the vehicle and the type of key it's got (chip smart, smart push to start, remote or regular “non-transponder”). Dealership keys are more expensive than keys made by an auto locksmith, however they might have more secure features. Certain newer vehicles come with a “smart feature” that allows drivers to access the vehicle by pressing the key fob button for 10 seconds. Remote Keys A Fob remote key is a flat, metal key that appears like a normal key. However, The Key Lab has a tiny remote embedded into its head. This is sometimes called the hands-free key or an advanced key. Fob key systems include a proximity system which is activated by the key when it is within a certain range of the vehicle. This can be used to deter theft. If your Kia is equipped with a fob, or smart key, you will need to obtain a replacement from the dealer or an automotive locksmith. The dealer will need to have the original key and the code for the lock cylinder (if it has been altered), and evidence of ownership of the vehicle. Typically this is a copy or the registration or title. After confirming ownership, an automotive locksmith will usually be in a position to give the key and cut the key onsite. A dealer's replacement key could be more expensive than one from an auto locksmith. You should compare prices with Kia dealers. If your key fob is damaged, you may be in a position to save money by replacing the case instead of purchasing a brand new key. Many hardware stores sell key fob cases, and are usually cheaper than the expense of the purchase of a new key. Keyless Entry Keyless entry allows you to unlock your car without using a key. It works by transmitting radio frequency signals from your key fob to the receiver in your vehicle that opens the doors and opens the vehicle. Some systems allow you to open the rear hatch and trunk. You can purchase a car with this feature or install an aftermarket kit in your vehicle. These kits are sold by a number of retailers and can be bought online or at some car dealerships. They range from the basic one that does not unlock doors, to more advanced models with remote starting and smartphone integration. Some models even come with an alarm. Before you decide to add this feature to your vehicle, read the instruction manual and decide whether it is compatible with your particular car. Some experts believe that these systems are less secure than traditional keys since they can be hacked. The majority of manufacturers have developed technology to prevent keyless car theft. These systems have an alarm that stops the transmission of the key signal when it is not used for a long period of time. If you are planning to incorporate this feature into your car, 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 to complete the installation. Remember to disconnect the car battery prior to starting the installation and ensure you are following the safety guidelines when working using power tools.
