My only 2008 Rio FOB recently lost connection to the car again. I have tried the 20 times key cycle, no luck this time, no response from the car after 20 cycles. Tried by removing power from the car for a few minutes and then do the key cycle thing again, still no flashing indicators or central locking cycling. This regular pairing process worked a few times in the past, but now it seems that function has stopped working. Any ideas?
I have just done my single key with no other present ,i just pressed lock and unlock on the door with the key out and then on off 20 times i didnt get any flashing lights but turned it of and tried it and then it started working.. Magic
Sounds like magic! Wow thanks for sharing. So you didn't lose the key? you only lost the fob? (which are 2 separate devices on the genuine Kia Rio keys). Because if you lost both you would need to get the new key cut for the car right? And I think that would be a visit to the dealership or else you could steal cars pretty easy? Did you only program the fob to the car and now you need to get the key cut? Or do you already have a genuine Kia Rio key and it lost connection (maybe you had to change battery) and you needed to reconnect it. I guess my video is if you are buying a aftermarket key and need to program it. Just interested to know more. Thank you
@@678ville I had just one key and fob mine is the one piece fob and key not two parts i put the key in and then took it out and did the on off 20 times etc then it worked ,, it is an original key maybey it just dropped out of sync before..
I don't have a fob, only a key, and my unlock button inside the car is broken. I can't get the car to go into this programming mode for the life of me. I've even tried rolling the window down and activating the power locks by putting the key in the door and turning it to lock then unlock the car with the doors closed. Then pulling it out and flipping the ignition 20 times. Can't get it to let me program my new fob.
@@gnigill3155 I’m not sure you can do anything sorry. What happened to the original key? What do you have? If you don’t have the original key then you might have to go the dealership. I don’t have experience sorry. Unless someone else knows more…

If it’s the same shape Kia Rio it will or should. If it’s the newer shape model then I’m not sure. You could test it out if you haven’t already and let me know 👍
Hi, after @gortsearthblog9803 comment above. Are you able try it? But I think it's only if you have a genuine key already and it's lost connection due to a bad battery?
