Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this ignition lock switch cylinder housing come with a new key cut? A: No, this is the cylinder housing only; you must transfer your existing key tumbler and have it re-pinned by a locksmith if required.

Q: Will this part work if my Kia has a push-button start? A: This housing is designed for keyed ignition systems. On push-start models, the immobilizer antenna ring and switch block have separate part numbers, so verify your steering column layout before ordering.
