Fiat Key Replacement

Fiat Key Replacement in San Jose: What to Know

Fiat vehicles use a range of key types depending on the model and year. Many use a transponder key with a chip inside the head that the car's immobilizer must recognize before it will start. Others use a remote head key or flip-style key that combines the transponder, cut blade, and lock/unlock buttons in one unit. Newer or higher-trim Fiats may use a proximity smart key with push-to-start, letting you unlock and start without removing the fob from your pocket. Because systems vary so much, we confirm your exact year, make, and model by phone first.

The immobilizer is an anti-theft system that checks the key's electronic code; if the code doesn't match, the engine stays disabled, which is why a properly cut key alone will not start the car without programming. Fiat models commonly seen around San Jose and the South Bay include the Fiat 500, 500L, 500X, and the Fiat 124 Spider.
