How to Make a Replacement Fiat Key

Fiat has reintroduced their classic cars and this is the ideal moment to buy one. What happens if your key fob fails?


Many people go to the dealer, but a locksmith can handle all of your Fiat key replacement needs. We'll explain what you'll need to your locksmith on the phone.

Keys lost or stolen

The loss of keys can be a huge hassle and a major stressor. It may be best to have a spare set made and store it safely, depending on the frequency you lose your keys. If you lose your keys then they can be easily and swiftly replaced. Another option is to contact the police department of your local area and provide a description of the keys so that they can be returned if found.

Many people believe that the only way to replace Fiat keys is to visit the dealership. This is not always the situation. There are many locksmiths who can assist you in the process and provide a much cheaper solution. These locksmiths can make use of information such as your VIN and the unique codes that are on the key fob to create the new key for you.

If you're in need of a Fiat car key replacement, it's important to be aware of the kind of information you'll need to provide to the locksmith. They will want to know the year and model of your Fiat. They will ask if you require a standard or remote key. In most instances, you can ask a locksmith via phone what type of Fiat key is required.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip sends an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory the immobilizer is deactivated and your engine starts. If the ID code isn't compatible the security light will be on and the vehicle won't start.

Transponders don't guarantee absolute security but, as car thieves have evolved over time to come up with ways to evade anti-theft systems. A spare key with functioning transponders can help keep this from occurring.

We'll need the year your Fiat was made and the model's name. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate ask! Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will be happy to assist you.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a practical convenience. They also make it difficult for thieves to get into your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency like traditional key fobs, smart keys emit different encrypted signals every when they unlock doors or remotely open the trunk. The computer in your car detects the fluctuating frequencies, and will only allow it to begin only when the correct key matches.

A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the basic functions of a standard key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) It also gives the option to store individual driver settings, shut off sunroofs or windows, as well as command your car to self-park by using the key. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Smart keys aren't completely secure. If someone close to you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car while you are away, like in a restaurant or a gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that most smart keys have a backup battery that kicks in if your main battery goes out. In addition, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and typically do not require any special tools.
