⚙️ Key features

Texas DST-AES, ID 8A

128-bit AES transponder from the Texas Instruments DST family, the chip type read by the immobiliser on the listed models.

Hyundai and Kia setup

Configured for Hyundai and Kia. The WS21 marking is also sold set up for Toyota H and Subaru as separate parts.

Wedge form factor

Black carbon wedge marked WS21-00, sized for the chip cavity in a transponder key or flip key head.

💎 Benefits

Right configuration

The Hyundai and Kia version keeps a Toyota or Subaru WS21 out of the job before you cut a blade.

Lower key cost

Rebuild a key around the customer's shell and blade instead of ordering a complete new key.

One part, nine models

A single chip covers nine Hyundai and Kia models from 2021 to 2026, so a small stock serves many jobs.

Adding a spare or building a key for all keys lost on these Hyundai and Kia models.

Key shops and counter trade

Cutting and programming transponder keys for walk-in customers.
