2024 Kia Soul 4A Key Test: Autel AT100 Works, Used Key Fails

Using an Autel MaxiIM IM508S and an Autel AT100 Chip, I successfully programmed a new 4A key for a 2024 Kia Soul and tested whether a used Kia 4A key could be programmed again.

Key Preparation

  1. Check the used key. The transponder shows locked status and uses a 4A chip.
  2. Generate a Kia 4A transponder with an updated Autel XP400 PRO programmer: Transponder >> Transponder Generation >> Select by chip >> ID4A >> New ID4A Chip >> Generate
  3. Prepare both the generated Autel chip and the used key for testing.

 

Key Programming

  1. Enter: IMMO >> America>> SOUL(SK3) >> 2024- >> Blade Key >> Yes >> Immo status scan >> Add key >> Start
  2. Enter the vehicle PIN code.
  3. Insert the key to be programmed and turn ignition on. The procedure completes successfully.

Used Key Verification

  1. Attempt to register the previously used Kia key.
  2. Cycle the ignition and repeat the programming process.
  3. The vehicle does not accept the used key.

Results

  1. The generated Autel 4A chip programs successfully.
  2. The used Kia key cannot be programmed again.
  3. Based on this test, the transponder is not rewritable once used.

Verification

Start the vehicle with the newly programmed key and confirm normal operation.

Why Use the Autel Super Chip?

The generated AT100 Super Chip programmed successfully on this 2024 Kia Soul and worked as expected during testing.
