How to Find a Fiat 500 Spare Key Fiat's classic 500 has become something of an iconic car since its relaunch in 2007. The company has now launched an additional attack against different engines by launching a hybrid version. Replacing the battery for the key fob on the Fiat 500 is straightforward and affordable. The Fiat main dealer will provide the key in about 10 days. Fault Diagnosis The key fob has an electronic chip that communicates with the Fiat immobiliser system to ensure that only authorised vehicles are able to start engines. If the transponder chip inside your key fob is damaged, it will not be able to link up to the immobiliser unit, which means that your car will refuse to start. It is possible to repair the key fob of a person who has been damaged, as long as the chip isn't physically damaged. A professional locksmith will utilize dealer-standard technologies to repair it swiftly. Using an OBD scanner, it is possible to check if the fob is still communicating with the receiver module. This is a fast and simple process that can provide a first indication of the issue.

This is a costly option and should be left to locksmiths. Dead Coin Battery A dead battery on a coin is the most common reason for the key fob to not function. Fortunately, this is an easy fix that can be completed in only a few minutes. First, ensure that the key fob is within the range of your vehicle.

Put a brand new #CR2032 3-volt battery into the fob with the “+ side” facing the rear cover and the “ side” facing downwards towards the buttons made of rubber. Water Damage While the key fob is fitted with rubber seals that keep water out of the electronic chip, it is not waterproof. The key fob may be able to withstand the rain or water from a wash cycle, but submerging it in the ocean or in pool water is not recommended. The key fob has to be reprogrammed if it is exposed to water. This process can be done by following instructions in the owner's guide or by bringing it to an auto locksmith professional or a Fiat dealer. A fob that is not in range may stop working.
