Kia Locksmith

If you have a problem with your Kia immobiliser then we can help you. And usually for much less than the dealer will charge.

Simply post us your immobiliser box. Then we will recode the box and post it back to you fully working. Also, if you have lost your Kia car key (or keys) or just need a replacement key then send us the ignition or door barrel so we can decode the barrel and cut another key from it. (If you have different keys for ignition and door you will have to send us both barrels.)

Or you may want to phone us on 0116 3400157 and have a chat with us to ensure you are doing the right thing before you buy online.

There are 5 basic systems used with Kias. The systems are as follows, but please note the colour of the keys is a guide and could be different especially if replacement keys have already been used.

1. TEXTON SYSTEM (BLACK key system)

2. TEXTON SYSTEM (BLUE key system)

3. SHINCHANG ENCRYPT (GREEN key system)

4. BOSCH SMARTRA (GREY or VIOLET Key system)

5. CAN BUS SYSTEMS

The main difference in the systems is the way the information is read off your key.

Lost/Stolen Key

If you have been unfortunate enough to lose or have your key stolen from you don't worry we are here to help you. We can replace and remove your old lost/stolen key from your car system and have you back on the road usually within the hour.

The dealer's solution to a lost/stolen key is to change the ECU and provide you with a key which can cost £900. Also you will need to take the car to them. We can replace your key without replacing your ECU. So don't delay, give us a call. Remember we are not a call centre - we dispatch our own car locksmiths.

Spare Key

If you are forward thinking you will always have a spare car key. This will save you money in the future if you lose your car key. We can cut and program a spare key for you. In some cases we don't even need the car, just the key. Give us a call for this service.
