    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Has anyone in Canada been able to obtain a genuine KIA NFC Card key for their vehicle?
Dealership has no idea what I am talking about, when looking up the VIN for my vehicle their systems says there is no mention of NFC.
My 2023 X-line definitely has NFC, it shows up in the vehicle setup and I have experimented with other NFC cards out of curiosity and there is definitely a NFC reader in the vehicle (charging pad) as it does reject my non-KIA NFC cards during the setup process.
My understanding is that the part # is ATH81 AD000.
When the dealership looks up that part # they say it is for the EV9 ... I am pretty sure in my research the same KIA NFC card is used across the latest KIA vehicles.

Anyone have any luck up here? Any US folks want to sell their NFC card? :-)

I have given up for now trying to source a NFC Card key in Canada.
Instead I am now running the Smart key feature on a Samsung phone.
I have seen some past comments that Samsung/Android support was a bit sketchy in Canada.
It seems to be working quite well.
