2017 Kia Soul Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
People lose all their Kia keys more often than you'd think. The most common story isn't dramatic. They bought the car used with one key, always meant to get a spare, and three years later that one key gives out.
A barista at a shared driveway fourplex in Lemon Grove had exactly that story. Her only key to her 2017 Kia Soul cracked at the blade pivot and snapped when she tried to open the door. Flip key housing in one hand, blade stuck in the lock. Zero working keys.
I used my VVDI2 to read the transponder data from the broken key head since the chip was still intact inside the cracked housing. That saved time because I didn't need a full all-keys-lost procedure. I extracted the blade, decoded the lock with my HY22 Lishi, and cut two fresh keys. Her fob, FCC ID CQOFN00100, was a 4-button flip key that I rebuilt into a new shell with the salvaged chip.
She went from zero keys to two in about 40 minutes. Total was around $264. A full AKL would cost more, and the dealer wanted $463 either way. If you have the broken pieces, bring them.

“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.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
