It is essential to be aware of the details you'll need to provide locksmiths when you need to replace a Fiat vehicle key. The first thing they'll likely inquire about is the year and name of the Fiat model. They will ask you if require an ordinary or remote key. In the majority of cases, you can ask a locksmith on the phone what kind of Fiat key is required.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are miniature circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip sends a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory the immobilizer is deactivated and the engine is started. If the ID code doesn't match the security light won't be on and the vehicle won't start.

Transponders aren't immune to. Car thieves have developed ways to get around security systems to steal over time. TheKeyLab with an active transponder will assist in stopping this.

Smart Keys Keys

Smart keys aren't just an excellent convenience. They also make it harder for thieves to get into your car. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages every when they open a door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your car is able to detect the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the appropriate key matches the latest signal.

A BMW smart key, for example is equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen which performs the typical functions of a regular key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start), but also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, switch off windows or sunroofs, as well as command your car to self park by using the key. These kinds of features are what make smart keys stand apart from traditional keys.

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

The good news is that the majority of smart keys have a battery backup which kicks in when your main battery goes out. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and don't require specialized tools.
