Kia key code

So your saying a dealer can not fix their own products

That's their problem,now your car is there

Have at least 3 working keys for all your vehicles

Install an aftermarket head deck if you cant find the code online or at the opel dealership

you can fit a new one from scrapyard but you will need the chip from the key and the transponder to make it work ,a new one in dealers is around a 1000euros and a dealer will not reprogramme a secondhand one for you as they only want to fit a new one (profit) Unless you can find a local auto locksmith who can reprogramme the immobilisor for you but for him to do this you will need the chassis number of the donor vehicle so he can get the 4 figure code to reprogramme the key to the ECU immobilisor .

this means the immobilisor on the vehicle has come on for whatever reason ,the main reason is the chip in the key becoming lost ,it either loses its magnetic coding or its physically fallen out of the key ,try the spare key and if it still doesnt start then call the dealer to reprogramme the car for you .

Simple solution ..... chnage the key battery. However, as most keys now hold and retain information which it sends to the main CPU. If the battery is dead in the key, you may have lost that information and are not getting a signal to the CPU. First replace the batteries. Then check through your hand book and locate the section that tells you how to reprogramme the key. There should be a code that you enter and this will be entered when you follow the correct procedure. If problem persists then I'm afraid its a main dealer job to reprogramme key to computer.

Hope that helps

the dealer can reprogramme the keys together (they use the computer/diagnostic machine)

Dear Sir/Madam:
I'm an engineer for an Asian automaker and I just asked a coworker whose office is next door that previously worked for Kia as an engineer; and he stated that the key would have to be programmed by the scan tool that only the Kia dealers have access to. I know this wasn't probably what you wanted to hear; but at least I hope it helps you in the right direction.

sound to me like the key has lost its code will have to go to main dealer to reprogramme the key

Have the same problem.
It looks like the computer of the vehicle lost the key-code. (chip in the key with a code)
Apparentely the computer of the vehicle will lose that code after being disconected from the batterie more then a month.
