Kia Cerato Key Programming & Replacement
From 2009 to 2021, our locksmiths have handled key programming and replacements for Kia Cerato vehicles using advanced diagnostic tools and a mix of genuine and aftermarket keys.
-
Job 65318: For a 2016 Kia Cerato with all keys lost, we utilized an HY-11D.P1 Hyundai Kia Non-Remote Transponder Key (HYN14R) and programmed it using the Autel device. This situation was resolved without EEPROM reading, showcasing our ability to handle key replacements with non-remote solutions.
-
Job 70696: In another case involving a 2017 Kia Cerato with all keys lost, we used an MK9987 B01-3-LUX-BK VW 3-button Flip Key for a luxury aftermarket solution. The X Tool handled the key programming, demonstrating our ability to manage complex aftermarket key installations.
-
Job 110849: A 2019 Kia Cerato required a spare key, and we sourced and programmed an MK16206 Kia Cerato Flip Key at 433 MHz. This case highlighted the need for a PIN code, which was pulled using the Smart Pro device. For newer models like this, using OEM Kia parts ensures optimal compatibility and functionality.
Kia Cerato Ignition Solutions
Terry’s Locksmiths is well-versed in handling Kia Cerato ignition issues. Whether you’re looking for a spare key or replacing a lost one, our team uses advanced tools like the Autel, Smart Pro, and X Tool to pull key and security codes, ensuring smooth key programming.
-
Tech Notes: 2009 & 2011: For earlier Kia Cerato models (2009 and 2011), we utilized 46 chip keys and programmed them using the Autel tool. Our shop computer was essential for pulling both the key and security codes from the vehicle’s system, ensuring efficient key programming and avoiding unnecessary delays.
-
Tech Notes: 2019: For the 2019 Cerato, we often work with genuine flip keys such as the MK6206, using the Smart Pro to pull the PIN code and program the key. Given the higher cost of this tool, it’s often reserved for more complex key programming scenarios, especially when handling genuine proximity or remote keys.
Kia Cerato Door Lock and Security System Solutions
In addition to key and ignition work, Terry’s Locksmiths provides door lock and security system services for Kia Cerato models. Whether it’s repairing faulty door locks or working with the vehicle’s security system, our locksmiths have a proven track record of success.
-
Job 79203: For a 2021 Kia Cerato, we programmed a genuine proximity key using the Smart Pro tool. Our ability to read the pin code for this model ensured the quick and accurate programming of the new key, without the need for EEPROM procedures.
-
Job 57948: In another 2019 Kia Cerato case, we programmed a customer-supplied turn-key remote using the Smart Pro, demonstrating our flexibility in working with both genuine and aftermarket keys.
