Keys stolen or lost Losing keys can be a massive hassle and a huge stressor. Depending on how often you lose your keys, it may be beneficial to have a spare key made and store it in a safe location. This way, if you do lose your keys, they can be replaced quickly and easily.

Many people believe that the only way to replace Fiat keys is to go to the dealership. However, this isn't always the case. Locksmiths can assist with the procedure. They also can provide an alternative that is less expensive. These locksmiths will use information such as your VIN number and the unique codes on the key fob in order to create your new key. If you're in need of the replacement of a Fiat car key replacement, it's important to know what kind of information you will need to provide to the locksmith. The Key Lab that they'll likely ask is the year and name of your Fiat model. They will also ask whether you require the remote key or an ordinary key.

Transponder Chips Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches that stored in the BCM's memory then the immobilizer is turned off and the engine is started. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will come on and your car will not be able to start. Transponders aren't perfect however, because car thieves have developed over time to come up with ways of bypassing security systems to prevent theft. A spare key that has functioning transponders can help prevent this from happening. We suggest calling us for the price of a new key with a transponder that functions. To get the most efficient service, ensure that you have all of your information available. We will need to know the year in which your Fiat was built along with the model's name. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate ask! Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will be happy to assist you. Smart Keys Keys Smart keys aren't only a practical convenience. They also make it harder for thieves to get into your car. Instead of broadcasting the same frequency signal like traditional keys, smart keys emit different encrypted signals every time they unlock a door or remotely open the trunk. A computer in your vehicle then detects these different frequencies and allows it to begin if the correct key is compatible with the new signal. BMW smart keys, for instance include a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions of a standard key fob. This includes locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. However, they also allow you to save your personal driver settings, close windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features. Despite this additional layer of security, there are ways that smart keys could be hacked. If someone close to you receives the low frequency transmissions transmitted between your smart keys and your car or vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by detecting the signals even if you're not from your car like at the gas station or in a restaurant. The good news is most smart keys have a battery backup which kicks in when your primary battery fails. In addition, many smart key batteries are easy to replace and typically do not require any special tools.
