Hyundai 95440-J9000 smart key: which Kona does it fit?
Last updated
95440-J9000 is Hyundai's OEM smart key for the first Kona with push-button start. Its FCC ID is TQ8-FOB-4F18 and it transmits on 433.92 MHz.
Every 2018 Kona VIN Partexia checked takes it, and no other key: 27 of 27. From the 2019 model year it gets less certain: 18 of 26 2019 Konas took it, and only 1 of 7 2020s.

Which vehicles does 95440-J9000 fit?
The first Hyundai Kona with push-button start: every 2018 checked, most 2019s, and only a few 2020s, built before mid-2019.
| Vehicle | VINs checked | Took this key |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 Hyundai Kona | 27 | All 27 |
| 2019 Hyundai Kona | 26 | 18 of 26 |
| 2020 Hyundai Kona | 7 | 1 of 7 |
A VIN counts as taking 95440-J9000 when the OEM parts fitment check for that VIN gave this smart key and no other key. The VINs are the ones Partexia checked between July and October 2026.
Of the eight 2019 Konas that did not take it, six took a folding remote key and two a different smart key. Of the six 2020s, five took a different smart key and one a folding remote key. Partexia's data lists 95440-J9000 for Konas built up to June 2019, which fits what the VINs show: a 2019 or 2020 model year Kona built later takes a different key.
Why some Konas take a different key
Because the Kona was built with two kinds of key, and the smart key changed during production. Hyundai's 2018 Kona owner's manual lists both a "remote key (if equipped)", a folding key with a blade, and a "smart key (if equipped)".
A Kona with a key you turn takes a folding remote key, not this one. A Kona with push-button start takes a smart key, and which smart key depends on when the car was built.
The VIN settles both. Scan it in Partexia and see the exact OEM key for that Kona.
How to tell if a Kona takes 95440-J9000
Start with the car and the old key, then confirm with the VIN.
- Look for a START/STOP button. This fob is for a Kona with push-button start.
- Count the buttons. Four: lock, unlock, liftgate and panic, as in the owner's manual and the FCC filing.
- Read the FCC ID on the old fob. It should be TQ8-FOB-4F18. A different FCC ID means a different fob.
On a 2019 or 2020 Kona, the VIN is the only sure check. Partexia reads it in seconds.
Before you order 95440-J9000
- Plan the programming. A new smart key has to be registered to the car, and Hyundai's owner's manual says a maximum of two smart keys can be registered to one vehicle.
- Mind the mechanical key. It slides out of the fob and works the driver's door when the fob does not.
Partexia gives you the part number for the VIN. Programming is a separate step, with your tool or at the dealer.
