If you're not looking to pay for the extra security chip keys provide the user, then a non-transponder keys is a better choice. These keys function like a standard 10 cut key and are compatible with all ignitions except for MATS and Passlock systems.

Key Fobs

Kia is a renowned car manufacturer that offers a variety of models, including the Picanto supermini, Sportage SUV, and Sedona MPV. These cars come with a variety of amazing features, such as key fobs that unlock, lock, and start the vehicle at the touch of a button. They also make use of radio waves to communicate with the car's onboard computer and are therefore more secure than traditional keys made of metal.

A key fob typically appears like a remote, and it's a tiny microchip that is referred to as a transponder. The chip transmits a unique code to the dashboard receiver when it is activated. This signal is then used to unlock the doors and arm the alarm. By inserting the key fob in the ignition, you'll be able to start the car.

Key fobs can be programmed by the dealer or by an automotive locksmith. The cost of a key fob varies on the model and year of the car, as well as the type of key it's equipped with (chip, smart, push to start, remote or a regular "non-transponder").

Dealership keys are more expensive than those made by auto locksmiths, but they could have more security features. Some newer cars come with a "smart feature" that lets the driver to summon the vehicle by holding the key fob button for 10 seconds.

Remote Keys

A Fob remote key is a flat metal key that looks like a regular key. However, it is equipped with tiny remotes built into its head. This is also known as an advanced or hands-free key.

If your Kia is equipped with a fob or a smart key, you'll need to obtain a replacement from a dealer or an automotive locksmith. The dealer will require the original key, code for the lock (if it's been changed) and evidence of ownership. This is typically an original copy of the title or registration. After confirming ownership, an automotive locksmith will usually be able to provide the key and cut the new key on site.

If your key fob is damaged, you may be able to save money by replacing the case instead of ordering a whole new key. Many hardware stores sell cases for key fobs, and they are often less expensive than the cost of buying a new key.

Keyless Entry

These kits are available from a number of retailers and can be purchased on the internet or at a few dealerships. The kits vary from the basic model that only unlocks doors to more advanced models with remote starting and smartphone integration. Some even have a built-in alarm. Before you decide to add this feature to your car, you must read the instructions manual and decide whether it's compatible with the vehicle you have.

Some experts believe that these systems are less secure than traditional keys since they can be hacked. Many manufacturers have added security to protect against theft of keys from cars. These systems have a sleep mode that prevents the transmission of the key signal when it is not in use for a period of time.

If you do want to add this feature to your vehicle, make sure that you select a good product and follow the directions carefully. It is likely that you will require the wire cutter/stripper, soldering iron, electrical tape and harnesses to complete the installation.
