Post Precut keys

Kia,
As long as you have at least one master key. You can go back to the dealer and have them program the key so the remote will work to unlock and lock the doors, & pop the trunk, they can also program it to recognize the code in the transponder in the key for the immobilizer. But you might not be able to use it in the ignition or the key hole in the doors, trunk, and glove box.

Default Precut keys

Kia,
I'm not sure why they sell the used keys. Maybe it's b/c a new master key costs so much.
