Remotes
Remote controls for Fiat automobiles look a lot like the keys themselves, except they have an IR (infrared) LED at the top. This LED sends an indication to the device which opens or turns off the car when you press. The microprocessor in the key transforms the signal into a code, which is then sent to device.
This process is known as "keyless entry". The more modern your car is, and the more likely you will have a keyless system. The more advanced your vehicle, the more features it will have. This includes locking and unlocking your car with the pushing a button or opening the doors without touching the handle, and much more.
The key fob contains an integrated circuit chip that communicates with the car's immobiliser system. The system determines if the key is correct by checking a particular sequence of the transponder. The vehicle will not start if the chip is missing or isn't programmed to the correct immobiliser system.
A locksmith can replace the key fob in case it is damaged. The locksmith will also have to program the new key to connect up with the immobiliser system of your car. You must be prepared to provide your locksmith details regarding your vehicle when they call.

If you have keys-less entry on your Fiat 500, you can lock and unlock the vehicle at any time with the push of the button. This technology is becoming more common in all cars of all ages and types and adds security and convenience to the use of your vehicle.
If your remote keyless entry system fails to work, check to see whether the battery for the coin in the fob is dead. If the battery is depleted replace it with a new one with the same size, voltage and type as the original. Also, ensure that the battery's contacts are free of corrosion or dust.
The rubber seals on the key fob are designed to protect the chip from water. However prolonged exposure to salty or soapy water can cause the chip to fail. If your key fob has been exposed to water, you must remove the battery and allow it to dry completely before putting it back in. You can also try cleaning the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner.
The keyless entry system is more secure than conventional systems, as it generates the code that is used to unlock your vehicle after every use. This means that even if hackers attempt to intercept the signal, they won't be able to gain permanent access to your car.
Transponders
Fiat uses a crypto-key transponder system which means that the keys or transponders must be precoded in the Body Control Module before they are "programmed" within the BCM. A blank key that has not been programmed can't be programmed because the BCM must read and write the secret code onto the transponder before locking it. This is known as"cloning.
These are brand new replacement outer cases that replace the SIP22 Transponder keys for Fiat 500. They come with a chip that opens the door and starts the vehicle. Locksmiths will have to cut the chip to fit your ignition.
