• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    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...

Our 2023 X-Pro SXP did not come with the NFC key card. It’s something I would like to have but didn’t receive one. Some people that purchased after November 2022 got the card with their vehicles. Our dealer knows absolutely nothing about it. I contacted Kia and they seem to be oblivious. Kia told me it is the dealer’s responsibility. Yet the person at Kia never heard of the NFC card. Anyone have any information or is anyone using one? Not the digital key. Thanks in advance.

For select trims....
 
Yes. That’s the info I have seen. Why do Kia and the dealers claim that they don’t know anything about it?

If you have an iPhone or Samsung - you can just use your phone. I set that up today - it's wonderful. If not, then you'll need the card. Just picked mine up yesterday, so it did come with the car. Sounds like the person at Kia corporate was clueless. You should call back again and share that dealer memo. Seems like it's up to Kia corporate to send the cards out as indicated, not the dealer.

I actually attached a copy of the letter in my latest response to Kia. I have not received a reply yet.
 
Hi!
If your dealer is unable to provide you with information about the NFC key card, you could try reaching out to Kia customer service again or checking the official Kia website for information about the key card and how to obtain one. It may also be helpful to reach out to other owners of the 2023 X-Pro SXP on online forums or social media groups to see if they have had a similar experience or have any advice on obtaining the key card.
 
So I didn't even know about the NFC keycard, I just found it in my glovebox.

I’ve tried Reddit, Telluride forums, Facebook, the dealer, Kia corporate. All to no avail. I would purchase one if they were available anywhere. Anyone want to sell their NFC card?

Here's a post in Reddit from a guy with a 2023 Telluride. Although his has the NFC key card, there are issues.

I would love one on my Telluride, but sadly, it doesn't have one. If all I had to do is have my iPhone in my pocket to unlock and open a door, this would one of the top 5-6 features I would want on my next next car.

Their problem was they were not touching their phone or their key card to the correct part of the door handle. The only issue was user error, which was resolved once they understood what to do.

Also, note that you can’t just leave your phone (or digital key card) in your pocket to have the digital key function work. You have to physically touch it to the door to lock or unlock, and you have to place it in the wireless charger to be able to start the car.

Check your owner's manual. It describes how to set up the Card Key and use it.

Once set up, you should be able to lock/unlock the door by touching the card key on the door handle. You can also start the vehicle when you put the card key on the wireless charging pad.
