Kia Engine Remote Start Kits

Looking to add a remote engine start to your Kia? This article provides a list of remote start systems available for Kia vehicles.


These engine start systems fit Kia Optima, Sorento, Cadenza, K900, Soul, Niro, Sportage, and Sedona. A Kia remote start kit allows you to start your engine from a distance, which is a nice feature if you want to warm up your vehicle (or cool down the interior).

Most OEM remote start kits for Kia can be purchased online. They are plug-and-play and do not require any wire splicing. We recommend direct fit kits as they fully integrate with your Kia, even in a vehicle with a keyless entry system.

Aftermarket Kia Remote Auto Start Kits

If you are looking for a cheap way to add a remote start to your Kia, an aftermarket remote start kit would be the answer. While they are a lot cheaper than the OEM remote start kits, they require experience to install them. Keep in mind that aftermarket remote starters require splicing and cutting wires.

  1. Avital 4103LX Remote Start System with 4-button remote
    The Avital is another aftermarket engine remote starter for Kia owners. It is one of the best best-selling kits on Amazon. It will require that you install a bypass module. Not only can you start the car, but you can also sound the alarm or flash the parking lights. You can start the car remotely or even let the car run after you remove the key. This is one of the cheapest remote start kits that work on Kia vehicles.

  2. MPC Remote Engine Start for Kia
    MPC makes aftermarket engine start kits for Kia. They work even with Kia models equipped with the push-to-start ignition. The kit includes all the parts required for installation but will need a few wire connections. You will need to have some basic understating of electrical circuits and DIY skills. This kit is a lot cheaper than the OEM Kia remote start. If you have any questions, call 520-572-2220.
