NASTF CertifiedKia EV9 Year Lookup
Tap your year for exact key specs and pricing.
Which Key Does Your EV9 Have?
Every Kia EV9 uses a proximity smart key with push-button start. Keep the fob on you and the EV9 detects it to unlock and start. A mechanical emergency blade hides inside the fob to open the door if the fob battery dies. All trims and model years use this system.
Kia EV9 Key Pricing
Flat-rate pricing for every EV9 key type. No hidden fees.
Why EV9 Owners Choose Us Over the Dealer
The Kia dealer uses the same type of programming tools we use. The difference is overhead: dealer facilities, waiting rooms, and multi-day scheduling.

EV9 Vulnerable to Relay Theft
Smart key systems like those on the Kia EV9 can be targeted by relay theft devices that amplify the fob's signal through walls. Store your fob in a Faraday pouch or metal container when at home to block signal amplification.
Second Key Stopped Working After Programming New One
On some Kia EV9 systems, programming a new key can erase existing keys from the immobilizer memory. All keys should be present during the programming session. If a key was left out, it needs to be reprogrammed.
Aftermarket EV9 Key Will Not Program
Not all aftermarket key blanks are compatible with Kia EV9 vehicles. The transponder chip type must match exactly. If an online-purchased key will not program, it may have the wrong chip. We carry verified-compatible blanks.
Can You Program a EV9 Key Yourself?
Kia EV9: Kia requires PIN-based authorization for any key programming on this platform. The PIN is not in the owner's manual - it must be read from the vehicle's computer.
Kia EV9: Self-programming is NOT available. This generation requires OBD-II programming with a security PIN from the vehicle's ECU. A professional locksmith or dealer is required.
