Keys we cut and program for Kia
Transponder chip key
A chip in the head talks to the car's immobilizer. The blade can be cut anywhere, but the car will not start until the chip is programmed.
Flip key
The blade folds into the remote. Popular on Ford, GM and Hyundai/Kia models.
Smart key / proximity fob
Push-button start. The car detects the fob in your pocket. Most have a hidden emergency blade for the door.
What we do for Kia owners
Kia key questions
Can you fix my Kia's broken flip key?
Usually. If the remote works, we can replace the blade or case.
Do you make keys for the Telluride?
Yes, for supported years. Tell us the year and trim when you call.
What do you need to make a Kia key?
The year and model, where the Kia is parked, and whether you have a working key. On site we check your ID and registration, as California law requires.
