Kia V3/V4 Protocol

Rust module: src/protocols/kia_v3_v4.rs
Reference: REFERENCES/ProtoPirate/protocols/kia_v3_v4.c

Overview

Kia V3 and V4 use PWM (short = 0, long = 1) with KeeLoq encryption. 68 bits: 8 bytes encrypted + 4 bits CRC. Short preamble of 16 pairs; sync 1200 µs (V4: long HIGH, V3: long LOW). KeeLoq uses the KIA manufacturer key from the keystore (type 10).

Timing

Parameter Value Notes
Short (0) 400 µs ±150 µs
Long (1) 800 µs ±150 µs
Sync 1200 µs
Min bits 68

Frame Layout (68 bits)

  • Preamble: 16 short/long pairs.
  • Sync: 1200 µs (polarity distinguishes V3 vs V4).
  • 64 raw bits (8 bytes) then 4 CRC bits.
  • 64 bits are KeeLoq-encrypted; decrypt with KIA MF key to get serial/button/counter.

Decoder Steps

  1. Reset — Wait for preamble.
  2. CheckPreamble — Count 16 pairs; detect sync polarity (V3 vs V4).
  3. CollectRawBits — Collect 68 bits (64 + 4 CRC); KeeLoq-decrypt 64 bits, validate CRC4, extract fields.

Encoder

Supported; 3 bursts, 10 s inter-burst gap; preamble, sync, encrypted payload + CRC.

Frequencies

433.92 MHz.

Keystore

Requires KIA manufacturer key (keystore type 10, kia_mf_key). Loaded from the embedded keystore (built from REFERENCES/mf_keys.txt).
