Remotes

The remote controls on Fiat vehicles look similar to keys, however they have an IR (infrared) LED on the end. The LED transmits an IR signal to the device which opens or starts the car when the button is pressed. The signal is detected by a microprocessor located in the key that converts it into a code that is then transmitted to the device.

This process is called "keyless entry". The more recent your car is and the more likely you are to have a keyless entry feature. The more modern your car is equipped with, the more features it will likely get with it. This includes locking and unlocking your car with just pressing a button or opening the doors without touching the handle, and much more.

The key fob is equipped with an integrated circuit chip which communicates with the immobiliser system in the car. The system will determine if the correct key is present by observing a certain sequence of digits inside the transponder chip. The vehicle won't start in the event that the chip is not present or in the event that it is not programmed to the correct immobiliser system.

If the key fob is damaged, a locksmith is able to create a replacement. The locksmith will also need to program the new key so that it can sync up with the immobiliser system in the car. This is a crucial part of the procedure, and you must be prepared to disclose information about your car to your locksmith when they call you.

Keyless Entry

With the keyless entry option on your Fiat 500 you can lock or unlock your car with the touch of the button. This technology is becoming more popular in cars of all types and ages as it provides security and convenience to the vehicle's usage.

If your remote keyless entry system isn't working look to see whether the battery for the coin in the fob is dead. If the battery is depleted replace it with a fresh one with the same size, voltage and type as the original. You should also make sure that the battery's contacts are free of corrosion or dust.

The key fob comes with rubber seals that protect the chip from water, however, prolonged exposure to salty or soapy water may cause the chip to fail. If your key fob has been exposed to water, take it off and let the battery dry completely before replacing it. You can also clean the electronic chip using isopropyl, or electronic cleaner.

While some may believe that keyless entry isn't as secure, this system is actually more secure than traditional systems due to the fact that the code used to unlock your car gets rolled up after every use. This means that hackers will not be able to gain access to your vehicle even in the event that they intercept the signal.

Transponders

Fiat employs a crypto-key transponder, which means that keys and transponders have to be encoded with an encrypted code by the Body Control Module (BCM) before being "programmed" into the BCM. This is why an unwritten key is not able to be programmed, as the BCM has to read & write the secret code to the transponder, then lock it. This process is referred to as the cloning.

These are brand new replacement outer cases to replace SIP22 Transponder keys for Fiat 500. They contain a chip that opens the doors and also starts the car. Locksmiths must cut them to fit the ignition.
