SOURCE: i would like instructions

Hello!
There is no available instruction yet in the internet for programming a 2008 KIA model keyless remote.
It would still be best if you take your car to your dealer and let them program your keyless remote.


There is an instruction available for a 2006 model. It might be worthy to try it on your keyless remote.
here is the link:

Why does the radio on my 2008 Kia Sorento turn itself off when I turn the ignition off, but doesn't turn back on when I restart the car?

There is probably a relay in the radio that releases when the power is off, but must be reset by turning the radio on when the ignition is switched back on.

2003 kia sorento keyless entry not working

If both remotes light up and don't work even right next to the car, the car and remotes may need to be paired again. I found where someone mentioned disconnecting the car batter for more than one minute but less than five and seeing if it works again. If not, you may have to get it checked at a dealer. Most of these fobs are only programable with special tools at the dealer. I've purchased nissan oem fobs new on ebay, but still had to pay the local dealer to get them to work.

Have verified that my newly purchased 03 kia sorento has remote keyless entry, but professional locksmith cannot get new remote to program. Remote is Bontec T009, pretty sure it is correct one. Could it be...

Yes the 03 and up sorento has a keyless remote entry, You do not need to reset the ECU, you however need to reprogram the remote trasmitter to your car so they communicate, otherwise it will never work if you do not program it. You will need to take this to a kia dealership with the remote transmitter. They may or may not charge you for a fee. However I did had a remote, and it became damaged when my kid drop it in the fish tank. I was able to get it done at the dealship, 35 for the remote, and 50 for service fee. I did however found some link referal to manually do it yourself, Please check this forum out http://www.kia-forums.com/2003-2010-sorento-forum/34549-remote-keyless-entry.html. For me, I did not bother, because I did not want to take the chance to mess up something else.
