2017 Kia Forte Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Here's exactly what happens when I replace a 2017 Kia Forte key. I verify your identity and ownership. Then I decode the lock and cut the blade. From there I connect my IM608 to OBD, retrieve the 6-digit PIN, access the immobilizer, and run the key learn sequence. After that, I test. Not just "does it start." I test every button, remote range from 30 feet, lock and unlock, proximity detection walking toward the car, and three starts in a row.
A rec league soccer player at the fields in San Marcos watched me work on his Forte and said the testing surprised him. He expected me to hand him the key and leave. Instead I stood at his car for five extra minutes pressing every button, walking away and pressing again, starting the car three times. I told him that testing is the part most locksmiths skip.
His fob, FCC ID CQOFN00100, was a 4-button smart key. Every button confirmed, range confirmed, three clean starts confirmed.
That testing process is included in the $274 I charge. Dealers charge $478 and some skip thorough testing entirely.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
