Terry’s Locksmiths Expertise in Kia Carnival Ignitions, Keys, and Door Locks

At Terry’s Locksmiths, our expertise in Kia Carnival vehicles spans across different models and years, ensuring that our clients receive top-tier services when it comes to ignition issues, key replacements, and door lock repairs. Our skilled locksmiths have handled a wide range of scenarios, including lost keys, faulty ignitions, and programming new remotes. Below, we highlight some technical insights from our job history to showcase the depth of our work on Kia Carnival models.

Kia Carnival Key Programming & Replacement

One of our core services involves key programming and replacement for Kia Carnival vehicles. From 2007 to 2018 models, our locksmiths have encountered various challenges, especially when dealing with lost keys and aftermarket turn-key solutions.

  • Job 58609: For a 2007 Kia Carnival with all keys lost, we used a HY-11D.P1 Hyundai Kia Non-Remote Transponder Key (HYN14R), programmed with the Lonsdor device. This case was successfully resolved without needing EEPROM reading.

  • Job 62742: A 2013 Kia Carnival required a similar approach, using the same transponder key and programming methods as in the previous case. The Lonsdor tool once again proved effective for this type of vehicle.

  • Job 68029: Another 2013 Kia Carnival, this time using an aftermarket turn key provided by TLS, was programmed with the HY-11D.P1 Transponder Key, with no need for EEPROM procedures. The consistency in handling these situations demonstrates our team’s expertise in Kia key programming.

Kia Carnival Ignition Solutions

Whether you’re dealing with faulty ignitions or need a spare key, we’ve worked on various Kia Carnival models with both remote and non-remote key systems.

  • Tech Notes: 2011: For 2008 to 2012 Kia Carnival models, our team has programmed VVDI remotes at 43MHz using diagnostic tools such as the Autel device. We’ve found that remotes can be successfully programmed using Soltani 5-button remotes, an industry-standard for this type of vehicle.

  • Job 70556: A 2010 Kia Carnival presented a challenge where only the Smart Pro device was able to code the remote fob. Neither the Lonsdor nor Xtool devices worked in this instance, showing the importance of using the correct diagnostic tools.

Kia Carnival Door Lock and Security System Solutions

In addition to key programming, our team has a deep understanding of Kia Carnival door locks and security systems.

  • Tech Notes: 2017: For later model Kia Carnivals (such as 2017), we utilized the XHorse system for key cloning and pin pulling. The 4D70 80-bit chip was essential for ensuring compatibility with the Carnival’s security protocols. For genuine key replacements, we sourced components like the 95430-A9100 TQ8-RKE-4F19, emphasizing the importance of using high-quality parts.

  • Job 60473: In 2018, we programmed a spare key for a Kia Carnival using the VVDIXKB501EN 3-button Flip Key, with the Autel and VVDI Key Tool Max. For proximity keys in newer models (such as the 2019 Kia Carnival), we used only genuine Kia keys, highlighting the requirement for OEM parts to ensure full compatibility.
