How to Program a KIA Rondo Remote

Kia Rondo vehicles have remotes that control the keyless entry. The buttons on the remote can be pushed to lock and unlock the doors, or sound an alarm that can scare away trespassers or just help you find your car. Before the remote can function properly, it has to be programmed.

• Contact the Kia dealership and ask the customer service representative if they are able to program the remote for you. Most dealerships are trained to program the remotes of any cars they sell. The Kia dealer is the only one who can program the remote.


• Schedule an appointment to meet with the customer service representative and have the remote programmed. It should only take a few minutes to program the remote, but you should be able to wait as long as needed to have the remotes programmed. The Kia dealer will need to attach the remote to a machine. The machine will then find the codes needed and program the remote.


• If you want to keep extra remotes on-hand incase you lose the originals, bring the extra Kia remotes with you to the dealership. Have the dealer program all of the remotes, this way they will all be ready when they are needed.


• Test each of the Kia remotes to make sure they work properly before you pay for them and leave the dealership. If they are not working, the dealer will be able to program them again without charging you any other fees. If the remotes cannot be programmed, they will need to be replaced.
