In most cases, you can inquire with an expert locksmith on the phone which Fiat key is required. Transponder Chips Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with your car's immobilizer. When you turn the key into the ignition 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 be disabled and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security lamp will light up and your car won't be allowed to start. Transponders aren't invincible. Car thieves have developed methods to evade security systems to steal over time. A spare key with a functioning transponder could help to prevent this from occurring.

Smart Keys Smart keys aren't just a practical convenience. They also make it more difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys do not transmit the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead they send different encrypted messages each time they open doors or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle then detects these different frequencies and allows it to start if the correct key is compatible with the new signal. A BMW smart key, for example, has a small LCD touchscreen that performs the standard functions of a typical key fob (locking in, unlocking and keyless start), but also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs and windows, and also command your car to auto park from the key. These kinds of features are what make smart keys stand apart from traditional keys. Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone close to you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart key, and your car, while you are away, for example at a restaurant or a petrol station, they can gain access to your car (or at least attempt to). The good thing is that many smart keys have a battery backup that is activated if the main battery fails. Many smart keys' batteries can be easily replaced and do not require specialized tools.
