Kia Key Replacement in
Florida — Locksmith Auto

Kia shares its key technology with Hyundai, which means the same dealer-level programming tools work for both brands. Every Kia from 2006+ uses a transponder chip, and most models from 2014+ have push-to-start smart keys. The Telluride, newer Sorento, and K5 all use encrypted proximity keys. Locksmith Auto programs all Kia key types on-site same day.

Kia dealers charge $200-400 for key replacement. Locksmith Auto starts from $90 for regular, $120 for transponder, and $180 for smart key. That is $100-220 less than the dealer. We carry key blanks for Forte, Optima/K5, Soul, Sorento, Sportage, Telluride, and Seltos.

Kia uses the Hyundai-shared immobilizer platform with 46 and 8A chip encryption on newer models. Our Autel IM608 reads the immobilizer module, generates a new key profile, and syncs it to the ECU in 15-35 minutes. We cover Forte, Optima/K5, Soul, Sorento, Sportage, Telluride, and Seltos. Dealer wants $200-400 and a week wait. We do it same day at your location for $90-180 depending on key type. 90-day warranty on every key.
