Remotes
The remote controls of Fiat vehicles are like keys, however they have an IR LED (infrared). This LED sends a signal to the device that can open or start the car when it is pressed. The microprocessor inside a key converts this signal into a code that is then sent to device.
This process is known as "keyless entry". The more recent your vehicle is, and the more likely it is that you have keysless entry. The newer your vehicle is equipped with, the more features it will likely have. This includes everything from locking and unlocking your vehicle with a single press to unlocking the doors without having to hold the door handle and more.
The key fob is fitted with an integrated circuit chip that communicates with the immobiliser system in the car.

Keyless Entry
With a keyless entry on your Fiat 500 you can lock or unlock your car with the touch of a button. This technology is becoming more common in cars of all types and ages, and it adds convenience and security to the use of your vehicle.
If your remote keyless entry system ceases to function look to see whether the battery for the coin in the fob is dead. If the battery is depleted replace it with a fresh one that is of the same voltage, size, and type as the original. You should 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 long-term exposure to salty or soapy water may cause the chip to fail. If your key fob has been exposed to water, take it off and let the battery dry completely before replacing it. You can also clean the electronic chip using isopropyl and electronic cleaner.
While some people may believe that keyless entry is less secure, the system is actually more secure than traditional systems because the code used to unlock your car is rolled up after every use. This means that even if hackers attempt to intercept the signal it isn't possible for them to gain permanent access to your vehicle.
Transponders
Fiat employs a crypto-key transponder system which means that the keys and transponders have to be precoded by the Body Control Module before they are "programmed" in the BCM. A key that is blank and has not been programmed can't be programmed as the BCM must read and write its secret key onto the transponder before locking it. This process is referred to as cloning.
