Default Non switch-blade style key?

Is it possible to get a regular key for a 2012 Sportage as opposed to the flip style? I just got a remote starter/alarm system that came with a separate remote and its own lock/unlock buttons. Since all I need now is a key, I'd like to find an alternative to the flip key. Keeping them both makes my key chain pretty bulky.

Any thoughts?

As long as your Kia does not have factory alarm you should be fine. I had a standard key made for my 12 rio and it works fine.
