At Terry’s Locksmiths, we specialize in providing locksmith services for Kia Pregio vehicles, handling everything from key programming to ignition repairs and door lock issues. Our experience spans multiple Kia Pregio models, where we’ve successfully tackled challenges like lost keys and difficult lock mechanisms. Using advanced diagnostic tools such as the Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max, we ensure accurate and efficient solutions. Below, we’ll detail some of our work history and technical insights that showcase our expertise with Kia Pregio vehicles.
Kia Pregio Key Programming & Replacement
Programming and replacing keys for Kia Pregio models is one of our specialties. Whether it’s a lost key or a need for a spare, we handle both aftermarket and genuine remote keys with precision.
-
Job 84653: In this 2018 Kia Pregio case, the vehicle had lost all keys, and we supplied an aftermarket MK19951 VW 3-button Flip Key. The programming was completed using the Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max without the need for EEPROM procedures. One challenge in this job was the door lock, which was particularly tricky. To resolve this efficiently, we retrieved key codes from the MK3 and programmed the remote based on reference images, bypassing manual lock manipulation.

Job 111689: A similar case in 2023 involved programming an STKauto MK18950 Universal VVDI 3-button Flip Key for a Pregio that had lost all keys. Again, the Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max tools played a crucial role in pulling key codes and programming the new key. With the FSK 433 MHz frequency used since 2011 for Kia Pregio models, the remote was fully functional after the setup.

Job 111552: In a 2020 Kia Pregio case, a spare key was requested. We programmed an STKauto MK18950 Universal VVDI 3-button Flip Key using Autel and Smart Pro, without the need for EEPROM procedures. This case highlights our ability to provide aftermarket key solutions efficiently and cost-effectively.
Kia Pregio Ignition Solutions
Our expertise also extends to Kia Pregio ignition repairs and replacements. Whether replacing a lost key or addressing ignition malfunctions, Terry’s Locksmiths has the necessary skills and tools to resolve these issues.
- Smart Pro & VVDI Key Tool Max: In all cases involving Kia Pregio models, including 2018 and 2023 vehicles, our locksmiths used Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max to successfully program replacement keys. These tools enable us to bypass more complex EEPROM programming, allowing for faster, more efficient solutions to ignition-related issues.
Kia Pregio Door Lock and Security System Solutions
Kia Pregio door locks can be challenging to work with, particularly in older models where the mechanical components may be worn or difficult to manipulate. However, at Terry’s Locksmiths, we have developed solutions that allow us to manage these issues effectively.
-
Job 84653: In the 2018 Pregio case, the door lock was particularly troublesome. To avoid excessive time spent on manual manipulation, we retrieved the key codes from MK3 and used the reference images to program the remote. This not only saved time but also minimized wear and tear on the lock components.
-
Remote Programming: For both the 2020 and 2023 Kia Pregio models, we successfully programmed remote keys using STKauto MK18950 keys. Our experience working with the FSK 433 MHz frequency used for Kia Pregio vehicles allowed us to ensure the remotes were fully functional once programmed.
