Keys lost or stolen

Losing your keys can be a major headache and create stress. It may be best to make a spare and store it safely, depending on how often you misplace your keys. This way, if you do lose your keys they can be replaced quickly and easily. You can also contact the local police department to describe your keys, and have them returned if they are found.

Many people think that the only solution for Fiat key replacement is to visit the dealership, but that is not always true. There are many locksmiths who can assist with the process and offer the most affordable solution. These locksmiths will use information such as your VIN and the unique codes that are on the key fob to make an entirely new key for you.

It is crucial to know the details you'll be required to give to locksmiths when you need to replace a Fiat vehicle key. They will ask for the year and model of your Fiat. They will also ask whether you require a remote key or a standard key. In the majority of instances, you can ask a locksmith via phone what kind of Fiat key is needed.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits an ID code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code is identical to that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be turned off and the engine will begin. If the ID code does not match, the security lamp will come on and your vehicle won't be able to start.

Transponders are not invincible. Car thieves have found ways to circumvent anti-theft systems throughout the years. A spare key that has a working transponder can help keep this from occurring.

We'll need the year your Fiat was built along with the name of the model. Do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is ready to assist you.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only a convenient feature. They also make it harder for thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages every when they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle then detects these different frequencies and allows it to start if the right key is in line with the new signal.

A BMW smart key, for instance is equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen in color that performs the usual functions of a standard key for fiat 500 fob (locking or unlocking and keyless start) however, it also gives the option to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs and windows, and even command your car to auto park by using the key. These kinds of features help to set smart keys apart from their conventional counterparts.

Smart keys aren't entirely secure. If someone close to you receives low frequency signals sent between your smart device and your vehicle and they gain access to your car (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on these signals even when you're away from your vehicle, such as at a gas station or restaurant.

The positive side is that many smart keys come with batteries that can start when the main battery fails. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and typically don't require any special tools.
