What goes wrong with Picanto keys
A useful example is a lost key with no simple mechanical copy solution. We start with checks that match what the car is doing.
Every Picanto key lost
With no Picanto key left, a new one is made from the car itself, where the system allows it. We confirm that before travelling.
The car does not recognise it
A Picanto that unlocks but will not start points away from the remote and towards the transponder or immobiliser, which is where testing begins.
Only one key
One Picanto key is a risk. A spare made now avoids a bigger job later.
The right key for this Picanto
The Kia Picanto is a city car. The useful model-specific point is a small car should not be mistaken for a non-programmed key.
A Picanto key has to match in three ways: the blade, the electronics and the car's own security records. Generations range from remote transponder keys and later smart-key options on selected versions.
Check this vehicle with usWhy the Picanto model year matters
The exact key and programming process depends on the model year, specification and security system fitted.Remote transponder keys and later smart-key options on selected versions. A key that only unlocks the doors is not finished. We check starting, remote and keyless operation before calling it done. If a newer version cannot be done on site, we say so before booking.
