Remotes
The remote controls for Fiat automobiles look a lot like the keys themselves, with the exception that they have an IR (infrared) LED on the other end. The LED sends signals to the device that opens or turns off the car when it is pressed. The signal is interpreted by a microprocessor located in the key which converts it into a code which is then transmitted to the device.
This is also known as "keyless entry". The more recent your vehicle is, and the more likely you will have an electronic keypad. The newer your vehicle is equipped with, the more features it will likely have. This includes locking and unlocking your car at the pushing a button, opening the doors without touching the handle, and so much more.
The key fob is equipped with an integrated circuit chip that connects to the immobiliser system of the car. The system will determine if the correct key is in place by looking for a specific sequence of digits inside the transponder chip. If the chip is not present, or if it isn't programmed to the correct immobiliser, the vehicle won't start.
When the key fob is damaged, a locksmith can make a replacement. They'll also need to program the new key to be synced with the immobiliser of the car. It is recommended to provide your locksmith details regarding your vehicle when they call.
Keyless Entry
With the keyless entry option on your Fiat 500 you can lock or unlock the car at the touch of the button. This is a growing feature in all kinds of vehicles and provides security and convenience to the operation of your vehicle.
Verify that your remote keyless entry system isn't working. The battery that powers the coin inside the fob may be dead. Replace the battery with a fresher one that has the same voltage size, type, and capacity as the one that came with it if it's drained. It is important to ensure that the battery's contacts are clean and free of corrosion or dust.
The rubber seals on the key fob are designed to protect the electronic chip from water. However prolonged exposure to salty or soapy water may cause the chip to fail. If your key fob is exposed to water, take out the battery and let it dry completely before putting it back into. You can also clean the electronic chip using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner.
While some people may believe that keyless entry isn't as secure, the system is actually more secure than conventional systems due to the code used to unlock your vehicle is rolled back after every use. This means that even if hackers intercept the signal that they receive, they will not be able to gain permanent access to your car.
Transponders
Fiat employs a crypto-key transponder system which means that keys or transponders must be precoded in the Body Control Module before they are "programmed" within the BCM. non-remote that is not programmed can't be programmed since the BCM must read and write the secret code onto the transponder before locking it. This process is referred to as cloning.
