About Telluride Keys

The table below is our verified key reference for the Kia Telluride — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, and trim levels (keyed vs. push-to-start) can differ within the same year, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.

Security System & Immobilizer

Kia’s keys track Hyundai’s architecture — ID46 transponder and flip-key era, then Hitag3 ID47 smart keys, with ID4A on the latest models.

On the Telluride specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Philips Hitag 3 ID47. A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Kia Telluride Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my Telluride. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site. No tow, no dealer wait — this is our most common Telluride call.

My Telluride is push-to-start. Can you really program that outside the dealer?

Yes. Late-model Tellurides (2020–2023) use a proximity smart key on the Philips Hitag 3 ID47 system — our trucks carry the fobs and the programmer. We cut the emergency blade too.

How fast can you reach my Telluride in DFW?

We dispatch the nearest mobile unit across the whole metroplex, 24/7. Call (214) 717-6398 with your location and we’ll give you an honest ETA.
