How to Make G28 Car Keys has reintroduced their classic cars, and now is the best time to purchase one. What happens if your key fob breaks?
Locksmiths can replace Fiat keys for you. A lot of people visit the dealer, but they're not required. We'll explain what you must provide your locksmith on the phone.
Keys lost or stolen
Losing your keys could be a major headache and create stress. Depending on the frequency you lose your keys, it could be a good idea to get an extra key and store it somewhere safe. This way, in the event that you do lose your keys, they can be quickly and easily replaced. Another option is to contact the police department in your area and provide an account of your keys so that they can be returned if found.
Many people believe that the only solution for Fiat key replacement is to visit the dealership, but this is not always the case. Locksmiths are available to help with the procedure. They also can provide the option of a less costly solution. These locksmiths can use information like your VIN number and the unique codes on the key fob in order to create a new key for you.
It is important to know the information you'll need to provide to locksmiths in the event that you need to replace a Fiat vehicle key. The first thing that they'll likely ask is the year and the name of your Fiat model. They will also want to know whether you require the remote key or the standard key. In the majority of cases, you can inquire with a locksmith via phone which type of Fiat key is needed.
Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits integrated into your key to communicate with the immobilizer. When you turn the key on the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security light will turn on and your vehicle won't be able to start.
Transponders are not invincible. Car thieves have found methods to evade anti-theft systems over time. Having a spare key with an active transponder can to prevent this from happening.
If you need a replacement key with functioning transponder, then we suggest giving us a call to request a quote. Make sure you have all the information you need ready. We will need the year that your Fiat was made along with the name of the model. Do not be afraid to ask us any questions you might have! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you.
Smart Keys
Smart keys aren't only a convenient convenience. They also make it harder for car thieves take your car. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send out various encrypted messages every when they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. The car's computer recognizes the different frequencies, and will only let it start only when the correct key matches.
A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD touchscreen in color which performs the typical functions of a regular key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) however, it also gives you the ability to store personal driver settings, turn off sunroofs and windows, and even instruct your car to self-park inside the key. These types of features help to set smart keys apart from their conventional counterparts.
Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways for smart keys to be compromised. If someone else receives low-frequency signals between your smart key, and your car while you are away, like at a restaurant or a petrol station, they could gain access to your car (or at least attempt to).
The good news is that a majority of smart keys have battery backups that will begin to function when the main battery fails. Many smart keys' batteries can be quickly replaced and don't typically require specialized tools.
