Review on πŸ”‘ Protective Key Fob Cover Case for 2010-2014 Kia Soul Sportage Keyless Entry Remote by Chris Parrott

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will not fit 2013 Kia Soul Key Fob

Unfortunately this replacement key fob shell will not fit my 2013 Kia Soul. The problem is, as another reviewer pointed out, if you remove the small circuit board from the original key fob, you've already ruined that original key fob, as it will crack/break during the process. Only then can you test the installation and see if the key fob replacement shell will fit or not, and if not (like in my case) your best bet is to try swapping out the circuit board to make it fit. There are small notches on the circuit board intended to attach to tiny posts/pins in the key fob body, but in my case they didn't match. As a result, I tried to mount the board with a file, but at the same time I ruined the board (the locking knob came loose). It was my fault for not being careful enough, but now I don't have a hitch so my next step is to get a $300+ replacement from Kia, a purchase I was hoping to avoid! So buyers beware! I don't know if there is another Kia Soul keychain that would fit better. I hope you have better luck than me. I thought the low price of this product was worth the gamble.
