Factory lug nut key

[561BlkKoup]

Are they universal(in the sense of other koups having the same keys)? I got bored switch out some rims but now i cant find my key!!

No, they're all different. That's kind of the point of a "key." You can probably get a replacement ordered from your dealer.

I called they told me I have to purchase a whole new set that they dont sell the key by itself. So that's why it made me think they are universal.

The car should have come with a card that has the wheel lock "key code" so you may order another from the vendor who makes them. They are not made by KIA. The other option is to have the existing wheel locks removed by a tire shop, they will be destroyed in the process and buy a new set. Or just buy standard lugs and don't replace the locks at all. These are not factory installed, these are dealer add on's that were installed before you bought the car.

Yep apparently either the Kia guy I spoke with on Saturday misunderstood me or he didn't know what he was doing. I called Kia parts department today and spoke with a different person he informed about where my card was( since I wasn't told about the card when I purchased the car). So I'll get in 2 two days. Thanks guys.

The easiest way to take these off is to either buy or find an old deep well 1/2 drive socket that just barely fits around the lug nut. Then just take a hammer and beat it on there as far as you can and grab your 1/2 ratchet and take it out. Easy as cake. This will probably ruin your wheel locks though. I managed to do it without damaging mine though.

These lock keys are shitty mine broke instantly with absolutely no torque. I bitched at Kia's service rep and the took their " factory installed " locks off and broke 4 master locks of their own. They told me it was going to cost me 175 for the time and replacement cost.... I walked out with a free oil change , new set of locks , and my lugs were all standard lugs now.

Attitude... Sometimes it helps...

I just checked, my car didn't come with locking lugs. There just stock lugs.
