Automotive Keys 2016-2020 Kia Sportage / 4-Button Flip Key Vancouver

Kia's fourth generation Sportage, the 2016 to 2020 crossover, came two ways: proximity on the higher trims and a turn key on the rest, and this four button flip key is for the turn key version. Our Kia page calls the Sportage our most common Kia key call in Vancouver, which is the reason we stock this key rather than ordering it when someone rings. The flip design folds the blade into the fob body; press the release and it swings out on a spring, ready for the door or the ignition. Inside the body sit the transponder that satisfies the immobiliser and the remote board for the four buttons, typically lock, unlock, tailgate and alarm, and all three parts are dealt with in one appointment: the blade is cut, the chip is written to the car, and the remote is paired. Kia and Hyundai share an immobiliser family, and the equipment for both rides in our van, so the Sportage is programmed where it stands, at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver or at your address, with no dealership in the chain. If every key is gone the immobiliser data has to be recovered from the vehicle before a key can be made, which our Kia page describes as the all keys lost job, and it takes longer than a spare. This is the whole key, not an empty case. The case on its own is a shell, meant for a key whose chip and board are still good but whose hinge has worn or whose plastic has split, and we can transfer your electronics into one and cut a matching blade for less than a new key. There is a blunter Kia problem behind many Sportage key calls from these years. Our Kia page records that the blade key Sportage built through the second half of the 2010s was targeted by thieves, and a good number of the ones we see need the ignition cylinder rebuilt and rekeyed, not just a key. If your steering column shroud is damaged or the key no longer turns, say so when you call 604-734-7233, because that is a different job from this listing. Bring the registration, photo identification and any working key.
