Remotes

The remote controls on Fiat vehicles are similar to keys, but they are equipped with an IR LED (infrared).

The more modern your vehicle, the more features you'll likely get with it. This includes locking and unlocking your car with just pushing a button, opening the doors without touching the handle, and so much more.

The key fob comes with an integrated circuit chip that connects to the vehicle's immobiliser system.

The rubber seals on the key fob are designed to protect the chip from water. However, prolonged exposure to salty or soapy water can cause the chip to fail.

Transponders

Fiat employs a crypto-key transponder, which means that keys/transponders have to be precoded with a secret code that is generated by the Body Control Module (BCM) before being "programmed" into the BCM. This is the reason why an unwritten key cannot be programmed because the BCM has to read & write its secret key to the transponder & lock it. This is known as"cloning.
