Key replacement
Kia keys, from Picanto to EV6.
Kia keys follow the same pattern as Hyundai’s: flip keys with ID46 or 8A transponders on models like the Picanto, Rio and older Sportage and Ceed, and smart keys with push-button start on the newer Sportage, Niro, Sorento and EV6. Many Kia keys have a high-security sidewinder blade, which needs a laser cutter rather than a standard key machine.
Key systems we work with
Kia Smart Key System, ID46 & 8A Transponder Chips, High-Security Sidewinder Laser Cut Blades
Faults we see on Kia keys
Smart fob proximity range loss, broken flip blade pin, and unprogrammed replacement transponders.
Lockouts
Locked out of a Kia?
We pick Kia locks with Lishi HY22 and HYN14 tools, which is handy when the keys are shut in the boot as the tailgate closes.

Questions
Kia key questions.
My Kia flip key’s blade won’t stay out.
That’s usually the pin in the flip mechanism. It can often be replaced without a new key; if the key is too worn, we cut a new one.
Do you do EV6 and Niro keys?
Yes. Electric Kias use smart keys coded to the car like any other.
Why does my Kia key need a laser cutter?
High-security sidewinder blades are cut along the side rather than the edge, which needs a laser cutting machine. There’s one in the van.
