Replacing the key for a Kia Stinger costs about $300 all-in with Rhinox — cut and programmed at your vehicle, usually in 20–30 minutes. No dealer tow and no after-hours surcharge. Las Vegas 24/7 — call (702) 356-0352.
The 2018-2023 Kia Stinger uses a proximity Smart Key — no traditional blade, just push-button start — and Kia stocked five distinct variants across FCC IDs HMO-FOB-4F17, TQ8-FOB-4F15, TQ8-FOB-4F17, and TQ8-FOB-4F46 operating at 433 or 434 MHz. Matching the exact fob to your VIN matters because the wrong variant won't program. Our Las Vegas mobile team carries all five variants on the truck and programs on the spot, 24/7.

Which Smart Key Your Stinger Actually Uses
Every 2018-2023 Stinger leaves the factory requiring a Smart Key — a 4- or 5-button proximity fob with no cut blade inserted into an ignition cylinder. Four FCC IDs cover this generation (HMO-FOB-4F17, TQ8-FOB-4F15, TQ8-FOB-4F17, TQ8-FOB-4F46), and the correct one is tied to your specific build year and trim. Our parts start at roughly $88 for the fob alone; the all-in installed price shown above covers the part, on-site programming, and labor with no hidden fees. Learn more about the programming process on our key fob programming page.
What Happens When All Stinger Keys Are Lost
Losing every Smart Key for a Stinger is a genuine all-keys-lost situation — the vehicle's immobilizer has no working reference and must be reset before any new key can be added. This requires specialized OBD-level programming equipment, not just a generic scan tool, and it takes longer than a simple spare-key add. We handle all-keys-lost Stingers regularly in Las Vegas; there's no need to tow to a dealer. Call our 24-hour line and we'll dispatch a tech with the right hardware immediately.
What Changes the Price and How to Get It Done Fast
The installed price shown above reflects a standard working-key scenario; all-keys-lost jobs require additional programming time and may affect the final quote. Your location in the Las Vegas valley — whether you're near the Strip, Henderson, or Summerlin — doesn't change our rate, and we charge no tow or trip fees. To move fast, have your VIN and proof of ownership ready when you call so we can pull the correct variant before the tech rolls. If you're also locked out of the car, our car lockout service can be bundled into the same dispatch.
Kia Stinger key questions
How much does a 2018–2023 Kia Stinger key replacement cost?
A replacement key for a 2018–2023 Kia Stinger typically runs around $300 installed by our mobile technician — cut, programmed, and tested at your location in Las Vegas. The firm price is confirmed on-site before any work starts; there is no after-hours surcharge.
Can you make a Kia Stinger key without the original?
Yes. Even with all keys lost, we can originate a new key for your Kia Stinger by accessing the immobilizer directly — no dealer tow required. It costs a bit more than copying an existing key, so keeping a spare is the cheapest insurance.
Do you program push-to-start smart keys for the Kia Stinger?
Yes — we cut and program proximity smart keys (FCC TQ8-FOB-4F46, TQ8-FOB-4F15, TQ8-FOB-4F17, HMO-FOB-4F17) on-site, so your Stinger starts and locks normally before we leave.
Which key does my 2018–2023 Kia Stinger use?
Depending on the exact build, your Stinger uses one of: Smart Key. Match your key to the photos above, or send us the FCC number printed on the back and we'll load the right one.
Can I program a replacement Kia Stinger Smart Key myself without a locksmith?
No — the 2018-2023 Stinger does not support a self-programming sequence for Smart Keys; dealer-level or professional OBD programming equipment is required. Attempting to use an unprogrammed fob will leave you with a key that unlocks nothing and won't start the car. A mobile locksmith can complete the programming on-site in one visit.
How do I know which FCC ID fob is correct for my Stinger?
There are four FCC IDs on file for this generation — HMO-FOB-4F17, TQ8-FOB-4F15, TQ8-FOB-4F17, and TQ8-FOB-4F46 — and the right one depends on your model year and trim level. The easiest way to confirm is to check the FCC ID printed on your existing fob or provide your VIN so we can cross-reference it. We stock all five Stinger variants and will match the correct one before programming.
How long does a Kia Stinger Smart Key replacement take in Las Vegas?
A standard spare-key addition typically takes 30 to 60 minutes once the tech arrives, covering fob pairing and function testing. An all-keys-lost job takes longer because the immobilizer must be reset before new keys are enrolled. Either way, our mobile team comes to your location across the Las Vegas metro — no dealership tow required.
