Key Remote Badge

[GTmike]

I haven’t changed any badging on my GT1 but plan on to at some time. With that being said, I’m curious if anyone is also changing the badge on the key remote.. for example like an overlay over the Kia symbol (i.e. stinger or GT logo).

Haven’t seen any thread about this yet so I thought I should ask

I haven't seen any badges but there are actual keys from Korea.

You'd have to get it programmed but you should be able to use your existing key.

How are these programmed?

How are these programmed?

I am assuming at a Kia dealership because I had Audi program my remotes at their dealership so my windows could roll down with a push of button on the remote.

Any ideas on the cost of the programming from dealerships?

Or you can switch internals from one to another

I've been back and forth on which badges, if any, I'm going to change. On one hand, I really don't like the bland three letter KIA logo they use in North America, but on the other hand I'm proud of the fact this car was built by KIA and have no problem sharing that with others (I love an underdog!). I definitely don't want to wipe out all visual evidence it's a KIA, so I think I can at least guarantee that for me the key fob is safe from harm ...

Audi didn’t charge me anything but then again Kia is a totally different company..
