How to Make a Replacement Fiat Key Fiat is bringing back their classic cars, and it's a great time to buy one. What happens when your key fob is damaged? Many people go to the dealer, but a locksmith can handle all of your Fiat key replacement requirements. We'll discuss the information you need to give your locksmith when you call. Keys Lost or Stolen The loss of keys can be a enormous hassle and stressor. Depending on how often you lose your keys, it might be best to get an extra key and store it somewhere safe. If you lose your keys then they can be easily and swiftly replaced. Another option is to contact the police department in your town and provide a description of the keys so they can be returned if found. The Key Lab believe that the only way to replace Fiat keys is to go to the dealership. This isn't always the situation. Locksmiths are available to assist with the process. They can also provide an alternative that is less expensive. They can make use of information such as your VIN number and the unique codes that are on the key fob to create a new key for you. It is important to know the information you'll be required to give to locksmiths when you need to replace the Fiat vehicle key. They will ask for the year and model of your Fiat. They will also ask whether you require the remote key or the standard key. In most cases locksmiths will be able to inform you via phone what kind of Fiat key you require. Transponder Chips Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches the one stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will start. If the ID code does not match the security light will be on and the vehicle will not start. Transponders don't guarantee absolute security however, because car thieves have evolved in the past to find ways to evade security systems to prevent theft. A spare key that has an active transponder can aid in preventing this. If you need a replacement key with an operational transponder, we suggest giving us a call for a quote. Make sure you have all the information that you require. We will require the year your Fiat was manufactured and the name of the model. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you. Smart Keys Keys Smart keys aren't only a practical convenience. They also make it more difficult for car thieves take your car. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they transmit different encrypted messages each when they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow it to begin when the correct key is found. BMW smart keys, for instance are equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions of a standard key fob, including locking and unlocking, as well as keyless entry. They also allow users to save their own driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs, as well and tell your car how to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Smart keys are not completely secure. If someone close to you can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart key and your car, while you are away, such as at a restaurant or gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to). The good news is that the majority of smart keys have battery backups that will start if the main battery dies. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are simple to replace and typically do not require any special tools.
