We can provide replacement keys for Kia Rio, Cerato, Sportage, Carnival and most Kia models. Adelaide Car Locksmiths are fully mobile and equipped to cut and program car keys and remotes on site saving you time and money.

Believe it or not, early Kia’s that have lost all keys can be quite difficult to make keys to. The “transponder” systems they used were a mixture of electronic parts. On the Sportage or Carnival they require highly specialised knowledge and equipment to program new keys and this can be quite costly. It is much cheaper and easier to keep a spare key for any Kia made between 2000 and 2004, get a spare key!

Kia now make some of the best cars on the market and there security systems are much easier to service in the event that keys are lost or stolen. The newer models can be programmed through the OBD 2 port located inside the vehicle using the pin code required by the vehicles system. Adelaide Car Locksmiths carry the latest tools and equipment to cut and program Kia keys and remotes on site in our fully mobile workshop.

  • Where can I find my VIN #?
    A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is your car’s 17 character unique identifier. A VIN can be used when tracking recalls, registrations, warranties, claims and theft. It can be located in one of the following places on your car: Where the corner of the dashboard meets the windshield on the driver’s side. On the door post (where the door latches when it’s closed) on the driver’s side. At the front of the engine block (under your bonnet). At the front end of frame behind the driver’s side tire. Inside of the driver’s side door jamb (where the door connects to the body of the car). If you’re unable to locate it, you can call your dealership, give them the make and the model of your vehicle and they’ll tell you where the VIN is located. You can also check your vehicle’s registration certificate or the owner’s manual (if you have it).
  • Can I get a new key cut without the original?
    You can replace your lost car key at a locksmith, even if you don’t have the original key.
  • What happens if I have a loose / wobbly keyblade?
    Some modern key fobs still require a key blade to activate the ignition switch, even if the vehicle doors are unlocked by remote control. These blades are strong and rarely break or bend, but with constant usage, the blade may become loose from the fob, preventing it from fitting closely into the ignition opening. This is particularly commonplace in more recent models of car, in which the key blades are less central to the design or are intended solely as an emergency backup, whereas older keys tended to be more robustly built.
  • How do I know if I have a transponder key?
    If your car was made from 1998 onward there is a good chance it has a transponder chip in it. These were introduced in Australia around 1996 to deter vehicle theft. The chip in a transponder key communicates with the cars computer system. The transponder key is what communicates with your cars immobiliser. It is this system which prevents the wrong key operating in the car.
