To program a remote head key, you usually need the original key, your car's manual, and sometimes a working remote. Some cars let you do it yourself by following steps like turning the key in the ignition and pressing buttons in a sequence. Others require special tools, so you may need a locksmith.
The car key fob head trick involves using the head of the key fob to amplify the signal when trying to unlock a car from a greater distance. By placing the key fob head under your chin, the signal is reflected off your skull, which can extend the range of the signal and improve the chances of successfully unlocking the car.
Remote car keys work by sending a signal to the car's receiver when a button is pressed. The receiver then verifies the signal and unlocks or starts the vehicle accordingly. This communication is typically done using radio frequency technology, allowing the key to work from a short distance away.
Car keys that have remote controls for locking and unlocking the car use radio wave band electromagnetic radiation as their carrier, typically in the hundreds of megahertz. E.g. in Europe, most car keyfobs use 433 MHz. Some keyfobs may also use Infrared radiation as a carrier, similar to TV remote controls. In both cases a code is transmitted to command the car to unlock or lock. In code-hopping systems, this code changes each time the keyfob is used to stop criminals from capturing the code and retransmitting it to unlock a veichle.
Unless you have some unique circumstance (radio reflector, repeater in your glasses, etc) it is simply a function of 'line of sight'. Holding the remote higher in the air would move the radio transmission path above the beltline of surrounding cars and give you less metal to try to transmit through. Reducing this type of physical interference is one reason that radio transmission towers are located as high as possible.
Common reasons for a car key alarm to malfunction include dead batteries in the key fob, interference from electronic devices, a faulty key fob, or issues with the car's alarm system.

How do you program the remote key fob on a 2005 Chevy Malibu maxx
Yes, you can have a separate car remote even if your vehicle originally came with a key that has a built-in remote. Many vehicles allow you to program a standalone remote fob to work with the car’s locking and alarm system, while still using the original key just for starting the engine. This can be useful if the built-in remote stops working or if you want a backup without replacing the entire key. Just make sure the separate remote is compatible with your vehicle’s system.
Well, you have 2 keys. one remote with buttons and one valet key with no buttons and no remote controls. The one with buttons have 2 forms of programming required. First, for the remote function to control the doors and/or windows, the second to start the car itself with the key in the ignition. You can program the remote function yourself with a door procedure, however ,the key itself can only be programmed by the dealer for the car to start. The same programming applies to the valet key.

You have to take your remote to the dealer. Kia will not let you program the remote by yourself.
The key has to be programmed at the dealership (usually $40-$80) using a cloning device that clones over your specific rolling code RF for your car. It is usually duplicated with an original key. The above is to start the car (ignition lockout), but if you are looking to just program the remote, there is a program sequence usually found in the user's manual that will tell you how to program the lock/unlock functions of the remote built into the key [but it will NOT start your car, as the above has to be done to duplicate the rolling code].
