No FOB for 2023 Kia Rio LX?
Was surprised by my dealership when they told me there is no FOB device for my new Kia Rio. I guess I have to go 3rd party for keyless entry?

All base model kias come with a key entry. There are plenty of easy 300$ 400$ w install accessories companies that will put a module for keyless entry and remote start. I had gotten one for my truck once cost me 430$ w install

I got a Kia Rio s trim with the tech package. Not running anything in but got a key fob. Out the door $20,200 With the hatchback which is an extra $200

If it came from the factory without it, then yes you would need to look into aftermarket as KIA doesn't provide any sort of retrofit kit or documentation saying if it's even possible.

I doubt that it is even possible adding it after market. The computer is not built for it. Of course the shop can add one in for you. It will take one day to complete if possible. This surely will void your warranty so be careful.

Are you a dumbass the base model only has a key entry 🙄

The base trim is without a fob, yes. Since it has power locks though it’s fairly easy / cheap to retrofit. You might as well upgrade to a remote start while you’re at it though.
