Automotive Keys 2014-2016 Kia Sportage / 4-Button Flip Key Vancouver

On the Sportage, the fourth button on this flip key opens the rear liftgate, joining lock, unlock and panic. It suits 2014-2016 Sportages that start with a key turned in the column. If yours starts by pressing a button, look for a Kia smart key instead. A tip on telling a dead battery from a dead key: if the remote has stopped locking the doors but the SUV still starts fine, the coin cell is the likely culprit and a battery swap may be all you need. If the SUV cranks but will not fire, or shows a key warning light, the transponder side is the issue, and that needs programming or a new key. For a full replacement, the blade gets cut on our code machine and then the transponder and remote are programmed to the Sportage. This is done with the SUV present, either at 4105 Macdonald St or on a mobile visit, and we ask for registration and photo ID. The hinge spring is the part that tends to give out on these keys. If the electronics still work and only the flip mechanism is broken, we can look at whether moving your board into a new case makes more sense.
