Flip Folding Keyless Entry Replacement Key Fob Cover fit for 2010-2013 Kia Soul 2012-2014 Kia Rio Sportage Key Fob Case Shell

Bought remotes to replace existing damaged remotes. I gave it 5 stars because of the quality, quantity, and great price for the set of 2. Now, the beware part. I have a technical backround and had much difficulty removing the electronics from my existing remotes to insert into the new remotes. Factory Kia remote casings are partially epoxied shut and you will need to destroy your existing casing(s) in order to remove its thin circuit board. Doing so without damaging the circuit board is not an easy task. Also, you will need the new key blanks cut or replace with your existing cut keys. Unfortunately, your existing cut keys will not fit the new remotes key housing slots. I needed to modify the new remotes key housing with a hobby rotary drill so it would accept my thicker existing cut keys. Next, you will need to understand how the spring mechanism allows your key to pop up when you push the button or it will not work when you assemble your new remote. Buyer will need to correctly place spring into the proper slots and twist the key button one rotation counter clockwise while holding casing carefully into place. Next, hold top portion together with your fingers and test key release button to verify it works correctly. If so, the next step is to carefully make sure the circuit board is in the correct position before snapping the bottom portion of the remote closed without damage to electronics. Do not snap remote casing together until you're sure it is correctly in place because you will need the jaws of life to open again without damaging the new remote casing. Lastly, insert battery and test on your vehicle before inserting the case screw. Please note that your existing remote didn't have a case screw but did have a Kia emblem plate glued over the area where epoxy was used instead of a case screw. If removed carefully, the old Kia emblem plate can be lightly glued in place over the new remotes case screw and look just like the factory remote when completed. I completed both remotes and they look and function like new remotes. In closing, this remote replacement has a difficulty rating of 9, with 10 being extremely difficult. Best of luck.

My old shell broke and i needed a new one. Had to replace the whole thing key pin and everything but it works besutifully. The buttoms work, they key flip works and i like the new key chain thing. The plastic feels thick so it feels protected, good durability. The electric board fit well and its easy to program and install overall. I did have to file my key a bit since its for a kia soul 2011 to reapply the pin, but it worked nevertheless. The plastic color is a good black color and not at all faded. It looks pretty and new.

Disassembly of the old plastic key fob enclosure is tricky. Release key into the extended position and wedge a pair of long nose pliers in the opening near the key. Pull the long nose pliers apart until the enclosure snaps apart. Be careful not to break the circuit board. Assembly of the new enclosure is easy enough but will take some patience. Key assembly points: 1.) The circuit board aligns on back enclosure half (battery access opening). 2.) Key release button needs to be aligned in your original cut key just right to fully bottom out in the opening. It took some playing with to get correct. 3.) When installing the key spring you need to engage the spring and place the back enclosure half as if you are going to snap it in place. Before snapping in place rotate the back half of enclosure one turn counterclockwise before clicking the enclosure pieces together. Works great with original cut key and circuit board. No dealership needed and 100’s of dollars saved.

Great quality saves you hundreds if you need to replace a key fob and your old one still works just replace parts

I broke my key fob and needed to get replaced. This is the second time I broke it last time I went to Kia and they charge me $200. So this time I decided to try it myself. This was easy to take apart but I did have to file down part of it so that the key fit in there perfectly. Took me about 30 minutes to file it down so make sure you have a filer. After I filed it and slipped my key in worked perfectly everything. I'm buying another one because I broke my other key fob too. But it looks great. It's good quality just one little piece has to be filed down a little bit no big deal.

Excellent. Great key fob cover replacement. Old one had almost all 3 buttons fallen out. All components were carefully taken out of the old one and installed into the new one. Used for a 2013 Kia Soul. All buttons work and car starts/runs. Just find and follow instructions on youtube. Make sure to see if your old key has a transponder or just a circuit board.

I was so thrilled to be able to find these online at Amazon ,I was able to transfer it over to my old fob and it worked perfectly without any programming I think it's an awesome product,the only problem I see with these fobs the rubber breaks and it wears out pretty fast, if they could make the rubber harder I think that would be a better product ,but I'm thankful to have them this is my second time ordering them.

Bought this to replace the key fob from the dealer where they wanted $265 to replace it. I thought they were seriously insane and didn't wsnt my heard earned money ripped off that way. My friend programmed it for me and moved the parts to the new fob. Voila i had a new and working key fob for under $10. Thank you.
