Thanks a million! A half hour ago I got a call from my wife that her Kia EV 6 Wind would not unlock with either the fob or the app! I looked at four web sites where the consensus was to buy a new battery for the fob, but that still left her stranded or calling roadside assistance for a new car. We are still learning about the EV and your video showed us something new: the hidden key! She got into the car and is on the way home!
Thank you very much, this was so helpful, as other videos don't explain what to do when the alarm goes off after opening the car, as happened to me yesterday! I've now managed to replace the batteries in both my Smart keys, but I'll know for next time. ❤
Great video and well explained, thanks as I will have this info when my battery dies at some point, could you do a video on the replacing of the battery to the key fob?
Dude thank you so much. One time I actually needed to get into my car without thinking about it. What is the time in my key fob died. That button on the outside of the car to pop the lid it’s not in today but all terrible use your design but I love my K five. Thank you again.
Thanks! My boyfriend felt like a dunce that I found a way to get us started and going today 😂 I learned something new 👏🏽 now maybe he can stop procrastinating and get the battery replaced
Thank you!! Thank you!! Do you know why the air conditioner keeps going out? We wiggle the fuse (that's the reason I needed this video I wiggled the fuse so many times, the door wouldn't open ) it kicks on, but I don't want to continue doing that. It's the summer, and it's hot. Thank you in advance
Thank you. I have a 2020 optima and I had no idea there was a slot under the door handle to remove the cap or that there was a key to put in to unlock 🤦🏻♀️. I’m on vacation and the car just informed me this evening my battery is low. My question is how long do you think I have before it completely goes dead? And does the Just pop back on the door handle?
3:21 What if mine is not push start? It’s a 2021 K5. Been stolen, new key fobs work to turn the ignition but won’t start the car. Old key opens the door.
it sounds like the ignition cyclinder may have been changed following the theft and they did not re-key the door locks to match. An automotive locksmith or dealership should be able to resolve that issue
Thank you! This helped a lot this morning. I wish I would’ve just remembered to use the Kia app to unlock the doors though 🤦🏻♂️ Alarm I’m sure ticked off some neighbors. Oops.
They battery in the fob is to boost the signal from the key so the car can “hear it”. No battery, no boost. But if you touch the key to the start button no boost need needed. Like the difference between someone saying “Hey!” across the room vs someone tapping you on the shoulder; Key to start button is a tap.
I can't get the metal part out at all.. i have tried with my nail. I tried using another key to push it in and pull the metal key out, and I can't do it.
Even if the battery is dead in the flip key you would still be able to start the vehicle as normal - the remote portion of the flip key just wouldn't work.
This is good info but the car literally warns you of a low key fob battery...so if you end up needing this its because you ignored the warning for too long lol

How do you fix your Kia forte remote control
Omg I love you ❤

It's hard to say how much longer the battery may last. Yes just pop the cap back on - start the top of the cap on first
Fun house mirror at 2:15 LOL - Thanks for the video btw 🫡
lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice!!!
Thanks!

where are you located to get the Kia app? I’m in United States but all the Kia apps I’ve seen are all in different languages.
@@jassssmine.isabela I’m in Michigan
Thanks alot

Whats the reason on using the fob to push the start/stop button?
If the battery dies in the fob
They battery in the fob is to boost the signal from the key so the car can “hear it”. No battery, no boost. But if you touch the key to the start button no boost need needed. Like the difference between someone saying “Hey!” across the room vs someone tapping you on the shoulder; Key to start button is a tap.
Also works on Optima 2019
Thank you… would never have found the insert!
You're Welcome!
How do you open the trunk with a dead battery in the car
I can't get the metal part out at all.. i have tried with my nail. I tried using another key to push it in and pull the metal key out, and I can't do it.
Bruh what’s the point if your fob is lost but you have the mechanical key
If you wanna trigger the alarm each time to access your car have a blast. Even if, you need the tip of the fob to start it
Gotta get a new car
How would you start the car if you have to foldable key
Even if the battery is dead in the flip key you would still be able to start the vehicle as normal - the remote portion of the flip key just wouldn't work.
This is good info but the car literally warns you of a low key fob battery...so if you end up needing this its because you ignored the warning for too long lol
how to roll back a piece you have taken
So if you have them flip up key I guess you just start it with the key to make the alarm stop??? You don't explain that?
How do i put the piece back on the door?
Pull the door handle out a little bit then the cap should just pop back on
Hi the “hold ” bottom don’t work on mi Kia niro 2022
not sure - I haven't don't this on a Niro yet
👍👍
What if I don’t have PUSH START button?
then I believe you would just use the key that flips out of the fob to open the door and just start it normally
@@PYR-Auto tried that but it wouldn’t start
@@jesslynmontanez8232 is the vehicle battery dead?
No battery not dead. My cars doing it also
Battery died in my ex’s k5 and she was stranded till I came and watched this video
Glad it helped!
In my case I lost the key fob so I had to get my Kia towed.
Why does the alarm have to go off. I’d assume someone’s hacking or some shit lmao
it stole Palisade alarm
Nice scratch 😂
