Keys being lost can be a enormous hassle and stressor. Depending on how often you lose your keys, it may be advisable to have a spare key made and store it somewhere safe.

It is essential to know the information you'll have to give a locksmith if you need to replace the Fiat vehicle key. They will ask you for the year and model of your Fiat. They will also ask if you require a standard or remote key. In most instances, you can ask a locksmith over the phone what kind of Fiat key is needed.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are small circuits in your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When you turn the key into the ignition the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security lamp will come on and your car won't be able to start.

Transponders don't guarantee absolute security however, since car thieves have evolved over time to come up with ways to bypass anti-theft systems. A spare key with an active transponder can assist in stopping this.

We will require the year that your Fiat was made as well as the model's name. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate ask! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a convenient convenience. They also make it more difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional key fobs, smart keys broadcast different encrypted signals each time they unlock the door or remotely open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changes in frequency and will only allow the car to start when the correct key matches.

BMW smart keys, for instance include a small LCD touchscreen that performs the similar functions of a standard key fob, such as locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. They also allow you to store your own driver settings, stop windows or sunroofs as well and instruct your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys could be compromised. If someone else detects the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key, and your car when you are away, like at a gas or restaurant station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).

The good news is that a majority of smart keys come with battery backups that will kick in should the main battery fail. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are simple to replace and don't require any special tools.
