2016 Kia Forte Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Here's exactly what happens when I replace a 2016 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 Simi Valley 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 TQ8-FOB-4F08, was a 4-button smart key. Every button confirmed, range confirmed, three clean starts confirmed.
That testing process is included in the 95 I charge. Dealers charge 200 and some skip thorough testing entirely.

“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.”
“I needed a second key made for my 2012 Nissan Altima. They arrived quickly, finished in about 15 minutes, and gave me the best price I could find.”
“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.”
