🔧 PRO TIP
The 2017 Forte smart key fob runs a CR2032, and that part matters more than people think. A weak cell on these won't always kill the fob outright. Instead you get inconsistent range, the start button throwing a key-not-detected warning intermittently, or the door handle touch unlock working sometimes and not others. Owners chase a programming problem that's actually a battery problem. Swap the CR2032 first, seat it firmly, and retest all four buttons before assuming the fob is dead. Also worth knowing: all-keys-lost on the 2017 Forte smart key system requires a PIN retrieved by VIN before any programming can happen. There is no ignition-turn self-programming sequence on a smart key vehicle. If someone tells you otherwise, they're thinking of an older bladed key setup.

2017 Kia Forte Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was parked off Tapo Street, finishing up a different job, when the call came in from Old Town Simi. Night shift ICU nurse, just off a long stretch of overnight hours, standing next to her 2017 Kia Forte in a hospital parking structure. She told me upfront she'd already looked up my BSIS license number before dialing. LCO#6792. She verified it on the state website. That stuck with me.

She explained why. A few months earlier she'd hired a locksmith who showed up with no marked vehicle, handed her a handwritten receipt with no company name on it, and whose phone number disconnected about a week after the job. She had no way to follow up, no record, nothing.

She wanted a spare smart key. Just a spare, no drama.

I pulled up, she watched the whole job. I connected through the OBD port, retrieved the security PIN by VIN through the proper channel, and registered the new fob to her vehicle's immobilizer. Each key confirmed against the start button. Then I walked every button on the new fob with her standing right there: lock, unlock, and the other two. All good.

The dealer had quoted her a number that made her pause long enough to start googling alternatives. She saved a good chunk coming to me, and she didn't have to leave her car anywhere or wait on a parts order.

Before I left she said she was going to text the license number to a coworker who'd been putting off a similar job. I'll take that as a solid review.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”

Kia Forte Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I lost all my keys to my 2017 Kia Forte. Can you still make a new one?
Yes, and this is a common call. All-keys-lost on the 2017 Forte smart key system is a job we handle on site. The process starts with retrieving a security PIN tied to your VIN through an authorized data channel. Without that PIN, the immobilizer won't accept new keys, period. Once I have it, I connect through the OBD port, clear the existing key memory, and register new fobs one at a time. The old fobs, wherever they are, get erased and can't start the car anymore. Dealers will typically tell you to tow the vehicle in and schedule it. We come to you, and the car stays exactly where it is.
Do I need to tow my 2017 Forte to the dealer if I have no working keys?
How long does an all-keys-lost job take on the 2017 Kia Forte?
The start button on my 2017 Forte shows a key warning even though I'm holding the fob right over it. What's happening?
I bought a replacement fob online for my 2017 Forte. Can I program it myself?
