Fiat 500 Key Fob Replacement
If your 500 keyfob ceases functioning, try another to test if it will be detected by the car. If it does, the issue is most likely to be with the original fob's battery or water damage.
Replace the battery first. Make sure the new #CR2032 coin battery is correctly inserted with the "+" side facing down in the fob.
Dead Battery
The majority of the time, when a fob isn't working it's just because the battery is dead. It's not difficult to fix Most fobs give you a warning if the battery is in low. You can find the instructions for the majority of car key fobs on YouTube or in the owner's guide. You can also replace it by taking it to the locksmith or dealer who supplied it to you.
Other times, a device can not function and there could be an issue with the circuit board in the internal circuit. It's not often, but it does occur. If you drop the fob on something hard it could cause damage to the internal chip. It can also happen if you are using an aftermarket fob, and the key doesn't work. In this scenario it is imperative to visit a dealer or locksmith to have the key reset to work with your 500.

Chips damaged
A key fob from Fiat 500 is an wireless device that sends the signal for the car to start after you press the button. It has a microchip that holds information about the code needed to communicate with your car. If the chip is damaged, it will not send the correct code, and the car won't start. Locksmiths can repair the damage. United Locksmith is capable of completing this service for classic models as well as more recent ones, so don't feel in a rush to call them.
A locksmith can program a new key fob. It is cheaper to do this than go to the dealer and works the same way. You'll have to provide certain details to the locksmith, such as the year your vehicle was made and the model.
If you are not sure how to solve this issue, try using a US dollar bill. The copper on the bill is abrasive enough to get rid of dirt and oxidation but it will not cause any damage to the microchip. If the chip is physically damaged however, it may not be capable of being repaired. This can happen if you drop it, run it over by your vehicle or experience any other kind of physical strain.
Water Damage
Water damage is likely to happen on your fob, whether you dropped it in the pool by accident or left them in a pocket while swimming, or splashed water on them in a rainy afternoon. Even if you only have the smallest amount of water on the key, it can cause serious issues with the electronic components of the key.
It is usually possible to solve this issue yourself by taking the fob out and cleaning it with a towel. After the fob is dry you can then replace its battery and it will start working again.
You can also take your key fob to a local locksmith or auto shop to have it professionally cleaned and programmed. These professionals can use special equipment to make sure that the key fob works with the car's computers.
If your Fiat 500's key fob isn't working, it can be a stressful and frustrating. It can be expensive and cumbersome to take your key fob to the dealer. Locksmiths can replace your key fob, without having to visit the dealership. For this reason, they are a much better option than the dealership.
Pairing Issues
If you accidentally drop your keyfob or it ceases to function, and nothing else appears to be wrong, it may be the chip. This could be due water damage or an unresponsive battery.
In most cases, this can be done by following the directions in the owner's manual. However it's recommended to have a locksmith from your automotive take care of this if you're having issues or the instructions in your manual aren't working for you. This will ensure that the chip is not fried, and it's also the most affordable alternative.
Another issue with 500 owners is that the key fob will not lock the car. This can be a big issue if you're going to an gas station to refill. Some owners have complained that the locking system on their 500 has failed and they had to replace the entire intermediate steering shaft. This issue has been reported in a technical service bulletin (TSB) issued by Fiat.
A reputable locksmith can assist you when your Fiat has issues. They can duplicate your key or create a new one that locks and starts the vehicle. They're able to do this without ever seeing your old key and are usually much less expensive than purchasing it from the dealership.
