Transponders

Fiat uses a crypto key transponder system this means that keys and transponders have to be precoded by the Body Control Module before they are "programmed" by the BCM. This is why an unwritten key cannot be programmed because the BCM must read and write its secret key to the transponder and then lock it. This is referred to as cloning.
