Keys being lost can be a enormous hassle and stressor. It is recommended to create a spare and store it safely, depending on how often you misplace your keys. This way, if you do lose your keys, they can be quickly and easily replaced. You can also contact your local police department to describe your keys and get them returned if they are found.

Many people believe that the only option for Fiat key replacement is to go to the dealership, but that is not always the case. There are many locksmiths that can help you with the process, and offer the most affordable solution. These locksmiths will use information like your VIN number and the unique codes that are on the fob of your key to create the new key for you.

If you are in need of an Fiat car key replacement, it's essential to know the type of information you'll need to provide the locksmith. The first thing that they'll likely inquire about is the year and name of your Fiat model. They will also ask whether you require remote keys or the standard key. In most cases, you can inquire with 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 on, the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code is identical to that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine will start. If the ID code isn't compatible, the security light will appear and the car won't start.

Transponders don't guarantee absolute security, however, as car thieves have evolved in the past to find ways to evade security systems to prevent theft. A spare key that has a working transponder can help to prevent this from occurring.

Smart Keys

Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience but also make it harder for thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages every when they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the changes in frequency and will only let it start when the key that you want to use matches.

A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen in color that performs the usual functions of a regular key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start) However, it also offers you the ability to save individual driver settings, switch off windows or sunroofs and also command your car to auto park from the key. These kinds of features are what makes smart keys stand apart from traditional keys.

Despite this added layer of security, there are ways that smart keys can be compromised. If someone in your vicinity receives low frequency signals sent between your smart device and your car, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least, attempt to) by spotting the signals even if you're not from your vehicle in restaurants or at a gas station.

The good news is that most smart keys have battery backups that will kick in when the main battery is dead. In addition, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and generally don't require any specialized tools.
