How to Make a Replacement Fiat Key

In this way, if you do lose your keys, they can be replaced quickly and easily.

In the majority of cases, you can ask a locksmith over the phone which type of Fiat key is required.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded in your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When you turn the key into the ignition the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If that ID code matches the one 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 will turn on and your vehicle won't be able to start.

Transponders can be hacked. Car thieves have developed methods to evade anti-theft systems throughout the years. A spare key that has an active transponder can aid in preventing this.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a great convenience but they also make it hard for thieves to get into your vehicle. Instead of sending out the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys emit different encrypted signals every time they unlock doors or remotely open the trunk. A computer inside your car is able to detect the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the correct key matches the new signal.

BMW smart keys, for instance, have a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the similar functions of a standard key fob. This includes locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. But they also allow you to save your personal driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs, as well as instruct your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.

Despite this additional layer of security, there are ways for smart keys to be compromised. If someone close to you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your vehicle, even when you are away, for example 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 most smart keys have battery backups that kick in when the main battery fails. Additionally, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and generally don't require any special tools.
