Hello all, As the title suggests, one day my mirrors stopped folding when I lock the car. The confirmation horn on the second click of the key fob stopped working as well. I checked and the mirror motors still work, when I flip the switch they fold and unfold. I’ve searched through for forums...

My optima says it can not detect key in car even though the key is in the car. The remote locks the car with no problem but it is asking me to hold key to starter to start it. Is this a fob battery issue does anyone know? Thank you

Annoying problem with key fob... If I walk near my car when I have unlocked the car and I have the key fob in my pocket, the car automatically locks all doors... if the car is unlocked and I don't have they key fob with me, the car stays unlocked... the problem usually happens if I am carrying 2...

Hey guys, I feel like I have like 5 projects going all at once, but I can’t seem to get bored with my optima. So i have asked a few already with unsure answers, or no responses. I did find 1 thread about my topic and it was back in 2015, so I figure 3 years of more people that possibly tried...

Hello, Hoping i can get some help as i have been having issues with my 2013 Kia SX- the key fob will not lock/unlock. This just started last night , i tried it in the morning and now i cant even lock/unlock from the inside. The key is not being detected in the vehicle either. I replaced the...

I know this has probably been asked, but I am struggling to complete a search for it on the site, so I'll ask again in case someone else is also looking for it. Can you have more than 2 fobs programmed for a 2015 Optima EX at any one time? We typically like to have a spare set of keys for...

Both key fobs do the same thing. I do not have the remote start feature. My fobs open the trunk while the fob is in my pocket. Am I the only one with this problem? Anyone have a fix for it? I am thinking of opening the fob and disabling the trunk button.

So i had issues yesterday with fuses....I got all that sorted out and everything is back to normal.... EXCEPT...My spare key fob (with a new battery) wont lock or unlock the car.....all of the buttons dont work for that matter. But if I put it into the glove box fob holder, it will start the...

I've been getting an intermittent problem with the car not detecting the key, sometimes if i hit the lock unlock button then it detects it. I tried the spare, and it doesn't detect it at all. I tested both batteries, 2.7 volts is what they read. What the **** is going on, wasn't sure i was...

If my key fob is dead where to I put the key inside the fob on a 2013 optima, thanks

This happened on a HSH "I left my key fob in the car yesterday. I either did it on purpose because I was close by or I didn't pay attention to the warning when I got out. Well, the doors have to be locked for the remote start to work. I ended up using Blue Link to lock the doors then again to...

Hello All, I was an idiot, and lost one of my Optima Key fobs. After doing some research on this forum and a few other places, I found a used FOB on sale on eBay that I purchased. The FOB is the same part as the one I lost, and as the one I still have. I took the FOB and car to the local Kia...

Has anybody actually had a key fob programed by someone Other than a Kia dealer. Info. Please !!

Took the car to the local Advanced Auto for a battery replacement. Watched the technician/salesmen replace the battery. They used a memory keep Alive battery hooked up via the OBDII port in order to retain memory. They finished...I got in and started the car with the memory minder still hooked...

Hello all. Not sure if I'm in the right place or not, and I know there's a couple threads on Fobs, but I was curious if anyone could reccommend me a Kia branded flip key fob for my 2013 Optima LX. I know K5 Optima Store has a nice, unbranded one, but I'm really looking for the Kia fobs that the...

So I took a fob to the dealer to get reprogrammed but they said they tried and it was programmed for another optima. I bought it from a guy who totaled his car no biggie right but the dealer says they can't be cleared to use on another optima. Is that true? That has to be some stupid **** Kia...

Where do I start, ok! Bought my 2013 Kia Optima SX in VA a year ago. Since then I got stationed in Germany. The wife recently lost one of our FOB in the woods while hiking. I ordered the same exact model FOB 2T100 which should be here shortly. I figured I can take it to Kia over here and...

Anyone currently using this Window X mod? Its a way to roll the windows up/down using your key fob. I had a similar mod on my '03 GTI and it was really neat to be able to roll the windows down to vent the hot air prior to entering the car. I'd be interested on it depending on price and...

I just got the Automate AM6.2 installed in my 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid. I was wondering if anyone has this and uses the factory key fob to start the car. I know you can do this with the unit as I've seen a video on youtube. A guy started his 2014 Nissan with his factory key fob with the same...

I just saw that there is a factory remote start module for the push button start Optimas. I also see that it gives me yet another fob to carry around and who wants that?? I started thinking on this.. (can you smell the smoke?) :D I can detect a momentary key press from the CAN bus for the...
