2023 Kia Stinger Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A customer at the mosque lot in Santa Barbara told me he'd already been burned. Another locksmith charged him full price for a 2023 Kia Stinger key that never programmed correctly. The car would crank but the immobilizer killed fuel after two seconds. Classic failed IMMO learn. The other locksmith said the module was bad and left.
The car didn't have a module problem. The locksmith hadn't completed the full immobilizer registration sequence. Kia's IMMO system requires a 6-digit PIN and a specific key learning flow. If you rush it or skip a step, the car accepts the key data temporarily but doesn't write it to permanent memory.
I used my HY22 Lishi to verify the blade cut, then connected through OBD with my IM608. I cleared the failed key data, ran a clean IMMO learn with the proper PIN and security sequence, and confirmed the new key was permanently written. His fob, FCC ID TQ8-FOB-4F46, had all 5 buttons working plus a clean start. I showed him the confirmation screen.
He paid me 216. Dealer charges 391. He'd already paid the first locksmith too. But I could make sure it was done right this time.

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“Very professional and extremely affordable. The price was literally about three times cheaper than what my dealership quoted me. Fast service and no stress at all. Highly recommend.”
“My Sprinter van key broke and I was stranded. Marco was very friendly and helped me get three new keys quickly. I will definitely be using them again.”
