In the majority of instances locksmiths can tell you via phone what type of Fiat key you need.
Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are miniature circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip transmits a code to Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. 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 isn't compatible the security light won't be lit and the car won't start.
Transponders aren't perfect but, as car thieves have evolved in the past to find ways to evade anti-theft systems. A spare key that has an active transponder can aid in preventing this.

Smart Keys
Smart keys aren't just cool convenience but they also make it hard for car thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages each when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the different frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key matches.
BMW smart keys, for example include a small LCD touchscreen that can perform the same functions as a standard key fob. This includes locking and unlocking as well as keyless entry. They also allow you to store your own driver settings, close windows or sunroofs, as well as instruct your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Despite this added layer of security, there are ways for smart keys to be hacked. If fiat 500 keys can detect low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car when you are away, such as in a restaurant or a gas station, they could gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).
The good news is that most smart keys have battery backups that begin to function when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries are quickly replaced and don't typically require specialized tools.
