Technical Expertise For Modern Kia Systems

Kia vehicles from the last decade use advanced immobiliser and smart key systems. Our training and equipment keep pace with current models (2024/2025):

• Transponder key programming for older blade keys
• Smart/proximity key pairing for push-to-start Kias
• Remote central locking programming and fault-finding
• Keyless entry programming and proximity antenna checks
• ECU and immobiliser programming, including EEPROM-level solutions where applicable
• Battery, button, and PCB repairs for fobs when viable

If your Kia shows a key symbol on the dash, or your fob suddenly stops working after a battery change, we can diagnose whether it’s a fob issue, antenna/receiver fault, or immobiliser pairing problem. For related issues, see Key fob not working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a Kia key without the original?

Yes. We can create a new Kia key from scratch using your VIN and by reading immobiliser data via OBD2 and, when needed, EEPROM. This is common in “all keys lost” situations and often faster and more convenient than a main dealer. For full details on programming, see our Car Key Programming service.

Will you damage my Kia when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. That means specialist lock picks, airbags, and decoding rather than forced entry. In rare cases where a component is faulty or damaged, we’ll explain options and get your approval before proceeding.

How long does Kia key replacement take?

Many Kia keys can be cut and programmed on the spot within a single visit. Times vary by model, year, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll provide an accurate estimate when you call with your vehicle details.

Can you fix a Kia key fob that has stopped working?

Often, yes. Issues can be caused by a dead battery, worn buttons, or PCB damage. Where repair isn’t cost-effective, we can supply and programme a new Kia fob or smart key.

Do you provide a warranty on Kia keys?

Yes. All keys and our workmanship are covered by warranty. We’ll confirm the specific terms for your vehicle and key type during booking.

Is a locksmith quicker and more affordable than a dealer for Kia keys?

In many cases, yes. We come to you, which avoids recovery costs and saves time. We also have the tools to programme keys roadside. For more on pricing considerations, see our page on auto locksmith prices in North West London.
