Kia Cadenza YG (2017-2020) Remote Start Kit – Plug & Play

I ordered the remote start for my 2019 KIA Cadenza it was shipped in a timely manner and installed it myself like the instructions and video said to do and it works great! No wire stripping just plug everything correctly and that's it. Totally recommend!

Super easy install works the way it’s supposed to.

2015 Kia cadenza. Instructions say wrong spot but reading the reviews it is under the glove box. All you need to do is remove three screws after you remove the glove box. Love my car has automatic start now and also like that when you approach the car it unlocks and when you leave the car it locks for you. Thanks for the great product

As mentioned, installed this on a 2014 Kia Cadenza. It should have been a 15 minute install, tops, but was several hours. Instructions said the smart key module was in the trunk. Took a few hours to take out all the carpeting to find that the instructions were wrong. Nowhere on the website does it even list this is wrong. Super frustrating! Luckily, I found another user review that mentions it was wrong.

If you have the 2014-2017 Cadenza, look at the guide for 2015-2017 Sonata. The module is under the glove box. Just a few screws to remove and you’ll have access to the module.

Im enjoying the product. 2017 Kia Cadenza Limited has to put under the driver's side. Works perfectly. Tried glovebox first got nothing. Went to drivers side and got action. I encourage anyone who car can connect to go purchase the Remote start. Give 10 stars

very easy install once I found out that the module is behind the glovebox and not in the trunk.

An awesome upgrade! Simple install that took less than 20 minutes.

As of September 2024, the mykeypremium unit works fine for the 2016 Cadenza base model after making a couple adjustments.
First, the locational information of the door control unit is incorrect on the website as well as the installation manual in the kit. For an early 2016 Cadenza (at minimum), refer to the online installation video for the 2016 Hyundai Sonata instead, which is accessed by removing the panel below the glovebox. The unit is mounted vertically near the passenger fender.
Second, there is a known bug with the unit for a 2016 Cadenza (at minimum). When using the remote START feature, it may not allow unlocking of the door until the lock button is pressed twice again to STOP the engine. While the remote unlock/lock feature of the unit is super cool, where the doors will automatically lock & unlock when at a certain proximity to the vehicle, this feature has to be disabled in order to unlock the vehicle after a remote START. As stated in the manual, to disable this feature, "deactivate the auto lock/unlock function by following these steps: get into the car, lock the doors, press and hold the brake pedal, and then press the lock button twice on the key fob with a small interval. You will hear 1 or 2 beeps. 1 beep indicates OFF, and 2 beeps indicate ON. The procedure is the same for both options." Then, with the ignition ON, go to the vehicle Settings Page / Doors / "2 Press Unlock" and toggle it off.
After both items are addressed, the remote start functions great, doors can be unlocked while running, and everything OEM still functions like it should.
Overall, it is great mykeypremium created a solution to address the factory flaw of no remote start on the OEM key fob, so gets 5-stars for the product and product support to claim the bug & provide a fix.
FYI, in later Kia models such as the 2020 Telluride, the remote start is through a phone app. While sometimes convenient for further distances to use a phone app, having remote start on the FOB remote is priceless.

It’s not working.

If you have the vehicle that this remote start will fit, Get it! It's priceless..

I wasn’t sure if this was gonna work my car (2017 Kia cadenza) at first, but I gave it a try anyway.
The purchase and delivery was quick, easy and fast!
I received the wrong harness at first, but the customer service was top notch. within a day or two I had the new harness and with the customer service assistance the car was up and running. really happy with my purchase and the customer service they provided.
Highly recommended.

Once I found where to install the module it was simply plug and play, took about 5 minutes to install and works flawlessly. I would recommend this to anyone if they need a remote starter!

At first I was trying to connected but the videos the you guys send me dont work but you really help me out and now I’m really happy to turn my car with a remote start. Thanks

All said and done, extremely happy with the remote start. The reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that instructions are non existent. I watched videos of similar installations and made adjustments as needed. After getting it installed and figuring out a few things, it is wonderful. I recommend this whole heartedly.

Kia Cadenza Remote Starter

Comes out of the box ready to install plugs right into the factory harness. Everything worked first try and only took around 10-20 minutes to install. Not a lot of room to place box once installed. I was able to put it behind the right black plastic close to the floor mats. Would recommend to anyone that wants remote start on there cadenza.
