⭐ The 95440-A7500 is Kia's 4-button, 315 MHz smart key for the 2014-2016 Forte sedan and Forte Koup sold in North America, approved under FCC ID CQOFN00040. It unlocks the doors by proximity, starts the engine from the push button and has Lock, Unlock, a hold-to-open Trunk bar and a red Panic bar on the face. From the 2017 model year the Forte moved to the 433 MHz key 95440-A7600, so the year of the car matters as much as the shape of the fob. The fob is new and genuine Kia; the emergency insert key is sold separately.

⚙️ Key features

315 MHz band

The North American frequency of the first YD Forte, set out in the CQOFN00040 approval.

IC 1551E-FN00040

Panic on the face

Four chrome bars: round Lock, Unlock, Trunk with HOLD and a red Panic at the bottom.

🛠️ Programming instructions

🔌OBD PROGRAMMING - DIAGNOSTIC TOOL REQUIRED

The 2014-2016 Forte learns smart keys only through the OBD-II port. There is no button sequence, and the tool asks for the immobiliser PIN before it adds a key.

Compatible tools: Autel IM608, Lonsdor K518, OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus, Smart Pro or the Kia dealer system, with the 2014-2016 Forte smart key in coverage.
Add key (spare): enter the PIN, choose smart key learning for the Forte, then present the A7500 and every key the customer keeps.
All Keys Lost: the same procedure with no working key. The PIN comes from the car or from a Kia dealer by VIN; learn all new fobs and cut the insert key.
Check coverage first: the Forte sedan and the Forte Koup can sit under separate entries in the tool. Look for the exact body and year before starting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this product

The 95440-A7500 fits the 2014-2016 Kia Forte sedan and the 2014-2016 Forte Koup sold in North America, both with push-button start. It transmits at 315 MHz under FCC ID CQOFN00040. Check the part number on the customer's existing fob before you order.
No. The 2017-2018 Forte uses the 433 MHz smart key 95440-A7600 under a different FCC ID. The 95440-A7500 transmits at 315 MHz for the 2014-2016 cars, so the model year decides which key is needed even though both fobs look alike.
No. Cerato and Forte cars built for 433 MHz markets use keys such as 95440-A7100, and they do not receive a 315 MHz signal. The 95440-A7500 is the North American key, so the frequency and the part number both have to match.
The 95440-A7500 carries a Texas Instruments 8A transponder, the DST-AES 128-bit type. Program it with the Forte smart key function of a covering key tool, and use the part number and FCC ID CQOFN00040 as the references that identify the right key.
No. The 95440-A7500 is supplied as the fob only, new and genuine Kia, with a CR2032 battery fitted. Order the Forte emergency insert key separately and cut it to the vehicle code; it opens the driver door if the battery goes flat.
The 95440-A7500 is learnt over the OBD-II port with a tool such as Autel IM608, Lonsdor K518 or OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus. The Forte asks for its immobiliser PIN, which is read from the car or supplied by a Kia dealer against the VIN.
Only if they are presented in the same session. Adding the 95440-A7500 rewrites the key list in the Forte, and any fob left out stops starting the car. Ask the customer to bring every key they still use to the appointment.
