Is the FCC ID enough to verify the fitment of the 95440-C6000?

No. TQ8-FOB-4F06 is printed on 95440-C6000, 95440-C5000 and the 2019-2020 key 95440-C6100, so the approval number points to three parts. The part number on the Mobis label of the customer's original key is the reference to order by, not the radio approval.

Which Kia Sorento does the 95440-C6000 fit?

The Kia parts catalogue lists the 95440-C6000 for the 2015-2018 Kia Sorento with push-button start, on the 2.0L, 2.4L and 3.3L engines. Cars from 2019 take 95440-C6100, and the export facelift uses a 3-button key, so match the label before ordering.

What are the four buttons on this Sorento key?

The 95440-C6000 has a round Lock button at the top, then Unlock, a Hatch bar that opens the tailgate after a press and hold, and a red Panic bar. There is no remote start button on this Sorento smart key.

What transponder chip is in the 95440-C6000?

The 95440-C6000 carries a HITAG 3 ID47 transponder. The fob works at 433 MHz on FCC ID TQ8-FOB-4F06 with a CR2032 cell, and the programming tool reads the Sorento immobiliser system. Match the part number on the original key before ordering.

Does the 95440-C6000 come with the emergency key?

No. You receive the 95440-C6000 smart key fob in its Kia box, with the battery fitted. The Sorento emergency insert key is a separate purchase and is cut to the vehicle key code so the door still opens when the fob battery dies.

How is the 95440-C6000 programmed to the Sorento?

Through the OBD port, with a key tool that covers the 2015-2018 Sorento such as Autel IM608 or Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro. The tool needs the immobiliser PIN, read from the car or issued by Kia for the VIN, before the 95440-C6000 is learnt.

Will my old Sorento keys still work after programming?

Only the keys that are learnt during that same visit. Registering the 95440-C6000 rewrites the key memory of the Sorento, so any fob left out stops starting the engine. Bring every key the owner wants to keep to the appointment.

⭐ Kia 95440-C6000 is the 4-button proximity smart key that the Kia parts catalogue lists for the 2015-2018 Kia Sorento, transmitting at 433 MHz under FCC ID TQ8-FOB-4F06. Its pad has a round Lock button, an Unlock bar, a Hatch bar that needs a hold and a red Panic bar. The same approval number is printed on 95440-C5000 and the later 95440-C6100, so the C6000 number on the Mobis label decides the order. Each fob is a genuine Kia factory unit in a new Kia box; the emergency insert key is not part of the order.

⚙️ Key features

C6000 (UM) on the label

The yellow Mobis sticker carries the part suffix and the UM code of the third-generation Sorento.

Panic on the bottom bar

A red horn icon marks the alarm button, below the Hatch bar that opens the tailgate after a hold.

CR2032 cell

A standard coin cell powers the 433 MHz transmitter for passive entry and push-button start.

Not the C6100 key

The 2019-2020 Sorento key 95440-C6100 shares TQ8-FOB-4F06 and the same pad. Its part number is not C6000.

🛠️ Programming instructions

🔌OBD PROGRAMMING - DIAGNOSTIC TOOL REQUIRED

There is no on-board routine for this Sorento. The C6000 is learnt through the OBD-II port, and the tool asks for the immobiliser PIN before it writes a key.

Compatible tools: Autel IM508 or IM608, Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus, Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro, Lonsdor K518 or the Kia dealer tool, where the 2015-2018 Sorento is listed.

Add key (spare): read the PIN with the tool or order it from Kia against the VIN, then present the new C6000 and every existing key in the same session.

All Keys Lost: the same PIN route with no key on hand. Hold each fob to the start button when prompted, and cut an insert key for the door.

Check coverage first: tool menus split the Sorento by model year and market, and coverage changes with software updates. Look for the 2015-2018 Sorento smart key entry before the visit.
