Transponder Keys

If your car has transponder keys and it has a specific chip to communicate with the engine whenever you insert it.

Key Fobs

These cars are equipped with a host of unique features, including key fobs that can unlock and lock the vehicle at the press of the button. These keys use radio waves to communicate directly with the onboard computer of the vehicle and are therefore safer than traditional metal ones.

A key fob usually looks like a remote control, and it contains a small microchip, referred to as a transponder. When it is activated, the chip transmits a unique signal to the dashboard receiver. This signal is used to open doors and arm alarms. The key fob can be used to also start the engine by inserted it into the ignition.

Key fobs can be programmed by a dealer or an automotive locksmith. The cost of a keyfob is based on the type and the year of the vehicle, and the type of key inside it (chip smart or push-to-start remote, remote or regular "non transponder").

Keys for dealers are more expensive than those made by an auto locksmith, but they might have more secure features. For instance, some of the latest cars have the "smart" feature that allows the driver to summon the car by holding the key fob lock button for 10 seconds.

Remote Keys

A Fob remote car key is a metal flat key that resembles an ordinary car key, however, it is equipped with a small remote built into the head of the key. It is also known as a hands-free key or an advanced key.

If your Kia comes with a fob or smart key, you will need to obtain a replacement from a dealer or an automotive locksmith. The dealer must have the original key, the code for the lock cylinder (if it's been changed) and proof of ownership of the vehicle. Typically this is a copy or registration or title. After verifying ownership, an auto locksmith is usually capable of providing the key and cut the new key on site.

A replacement key from a dealer can be more costly than one from an auto locksmith. Some kia key fob dealers charge more than others, so shop for the best deal. If your key fob is damaged, you might be saved money by replacing the case rather than purchasing a new key. A lot of hardware stores have key fob cases, which are usually less expensive than purchasing a new key.

Before you install this feature on the vehicle, make sure you read the directions and confirm that it is compatible with your car.

Some experts believe that these systems are susceptible to being hacked and are therefore less secure than traditional keys for cars. However, many manufacturers have developed technology which should stop keyless car theft. These systems have a sleep mode that prevents the transmission of the key signal when it is not used for a time.

If you're planning to add this feature, select an item of high-quality and follow the instructions. To complete the installation, you'll need a soldering iron and electrical tape, as well as a wire stripper/cutter.
