How to Find a Fiat 500 Spare Key

The replacement of key fob batteries on the Fiat 500 are simple and inexpensive. It takes about 10 days for the key to be shipped from the Fiat main dealer.





Fault Diagnosis

The key fob is equipped with an electronic chip that communicates with your Fiat's immobiliser system to ensure that only authorised cars can start the engine. If the transponder contained in your key fob has been damaged, it will not be in a position to connect to the immobiliser. This means that your vehicle won't start.

The good news is that it's possible to repair a broken key fob if the chip isn't physically damaged. A professional locksmith will utilize the same technology used by dealers to repair the chip quickly.

This is a cost-effective option and should be left to a locksmith.
