- Not every Kia has a chipSome turn key Kias built from about 2011 to 2021 left the factory without a chip immobilizer at all.
- Flip keys are commonMany Kias with a traditional ignition use a flip key, where the blade folds into the remote.
- Smart keys on newer trimsPush to start is common on newer Kias and on the higher trims of older models.
- Quick key checkWe confirm your exact key type from the vehicle details before giving you a price.

Which Kia Key Do You Have?
Older Kias used plain cut keys, and many models then moved to flip keys, some with a chip and some without. Newer Kias mostly use smart fobs with push to start.
- Plain cut keyThis all metal key has no chip and shows up on older Kias like the early Rio, so it only needs to be cut to your locks, which keeps the job quick and inexpensive.
- Flip keyThe blade folds into a remote with lock and unlock buttons, and while most flip keys hold a chip that must be programmed, certain base trims were built without one.
- Smart key with push to startThis fob stays in your pocket while the car detects it nearby, and we program a replacement on site and cut the emergency blade that slides out of it.
Kia Models and Their Keys
Kia Seltos

The Seltos arrived in the US around 2021 as a small crossover, and most trims use a smart key with push to start, while some base trims use a flip key with a traditional ignition.
Kia Sportage

Older Sportages from the 2000s use cut keys, many from about 2011 onward use a flip key, some turn key trims from that period have no chip immobilizer, and later higher trims use a smart key.
Kia Soul

The Soul came out around 2010 with a flip key on most trims, some base versions were built without a chip, and later models offered push to start on the higher trims.
Kia K5

The K5 replaced the Optima around 2021 as Kia's midsize sedan, and most K5s use a smart key with push to start that we program to the car on site.
Kia Forte

The Forte arrived around 2010 with a flip key on most cars, some turn key trims had no chip, and later Fortes offered push to start on the higher trims.
Kia Rio

Early Rios from the 2000s use a plain cut key that only needs cutting, while later Rios moved to flip keys and some turn key trims were built without a chip.
Kia Niro

The Niro launched around 2017 as a hybrid crossover, and it uses a smart key with push to start on most trims, so a replacement always needs programming.

We test the locks, the remote and the ignition with you before the technician leaves.
What a Kia Key Costs in Las Vegas
For an older Kia with a plain cut key, typical Las Vegas prices are $50 to $180. A chip key with programming is usually $150 to $350, and Kia smart fobs generally cost more than a chip key.
The price on a Kia depends on the key type, the model year and whether you still have a working key, while nights, weekends and holidays usually add $25 to $75, and a lockout by itself typically runs $45 to $135.
Make a Spare Before You Need One
A second Kia key costs less while you still have a working one, since we can copy it rather than build a new key from the lock, whereas a job that starts after the last key is gone takes longer and costs noticeably more. A spare is one of the easiest car keys jobs to take care of ahead of time.
Owning a Kia in Las Vegas
Kias are among the most common cars in Las Vegas apartment complexes and grocery store parking lots, and because many turn key models from the 2010s were targeted by thieves, owners often ask about steering wheel locks or the dealer software update. We focus on keys and lockouts, and we always come to you. Our automotive locksmith page covers the rest of our vehicle services.
Questions We Get Asked
Does a 2012 Kia Sportage use a smart key?
Some do, because higher trims of that generation offered a smart key with push to start, while many others use a flip key and some turn key trims have no chip at all. Look for a start button on the dashboard to tell the difference, and we can make and program either type at your location.
Can you program a key for a 2022 Kia K5?
Yes, most K5s use a smart key, so the new fob must be programmed to the vehicle for keyless entry and push to start. We handle the entire process on site in Las Vegas, and you receive the price before we begin any work.
Can you fix a Kia key that only works sometimes?
Often we can, because a key that works on and off may have a weak battery, a cracked shell or a loose part inside. We can test it at your vehicle and either fix the problem or make and program a new key. You will receive the price before any work starts.
What if I lock my keys in my Kia at a store?
Call us and we will come straight to the parking lot. We open locked vehicles at any hour across Las Vegas and the nearby areas, and we tell you the price before we start. You can read more on our vehicle lockout page.
