Keys being lost can be a enormous hassle and stressor. Based on the frequency at which you lose your keys, it could be best to get a spare key made and keep it somewhere safe.

It is essential to be aware of the information you'll have to give locksmiths in the event that you need to replace the Fiat vehicle key.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is disabled and your engine starts. If the ID code isn't compatible, the security light will be on and the vehicle will not start.

Transponders don't guarantee absolute security however, because car thieves have developed over time to find ways to evade anti-theft systems. Having a spare key with functioning transponders can help prevent this from occurring.

We suggest calling us to get the price of an additional key equipped with a transponder which works. To receive the best service, make sure you have all the details prepared. We will need the year that your Fiat was manufactured as well as the model's name. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't only an excellent convenience. They also make it difficult for car thieves steal your vehicle. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys send out different encrypted signals each when they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow it to start when the key that you want to use matches.

BMW smart keys, for example include a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a standard key fob, like locking, unlocking, and keyless entry. However, they also allow you to store your own driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as and tell your car how to park itself. These kinds of features makes smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.

Smart keys aren't entirely secure. If someone close to you can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart key and your car while you are away, for example at a gas or restaurant station, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that the majority of smart keys come with batteries that can begin to function when the main battery fails. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are easy to replace and usually don't require any special tools.
