Kia Sportage Key Fob Replacement Kia is attempting to make the lives of Brandon drivers easier by providing the feature known as a key fob. This device lets you lock and unlock your vehicle without hands. Some models require a fob that has chips and needs to be programmed by an auto locksmith or dealer. Certain models come with a metallic key that is not transponder-compatible and does not require programming. How to Replace the Battery If you've tried reprogramming your key fob, replaced the battery, but aren't able to solve it, you may need to replace the receiver module that is on your vehicle. This is a difficult procedure that requires specialized equipment that only a locksmith for automotive or dealer will have access to. The most common reason for a faulty key fob is the simple coin battery that has run out of juice. Be sure to buy the replacement battery of the same voltage and size as the original one. Otherwise, you could damage the circuitry that forms part of the key fob. To replace the battery, look for an opening on the side of the key fob, opposite to the one that houses the mechanical key. Use a small screwdriver and insert it into the slot and gently pull off the plastic casing. Avoid putting too much pressure, as the battery compartment is thin and can crack if you force it too hard. Once you've put the new battery in place then align the fob's back and carefully slide the cover back on. If you're having difficulty getting the rear of the fob to fit do not apply too much force. Once the cover has been installed you can test the Kia Sportage's key fob by pressing on the lock or unlock button. If the door cylinders and trunk unlock, you're done! How can I reprogram the key? The transponder chip that is found in Kia key fobs is required to start your vehicle. This is accomplished by connecting an electronic programming device to the computer of the car to notify it that you have a “authorized” key in the key fob. These machines are available at certain locksmiths and dealers. A dead battery inside the key fob is the most frequent reason for a remote not locking or unlocking a vehicle. If you have noticed that the range of the remote is decreasing gradually until it ceases to function completely it means that the battery in the key fob is dying and needs to be replaced. Another issue that can be encountered is interference from objects around the car or from transmitters on the same frequency band as the key fob. This could interfere with the signal and prevent the car from starting when you press the start button on the key fob.
