The Fiat immobiliser and what it means for your key
Fiat vehicles use the Fiat / Stellantis immobiliser. Because the immobiliser and the key must recognise each other, cutting a blade alone is never enough. The key has to be paired to your specific vehicle. Consequently Urban Locksmith programs on site rather than simply cutting metal. Fiat volumes in Ottawa are low, so blanks are sometimes ordered rather than stocked.
What usually goes wrong on a Fiat
500 ignition and fob faults come up, though volumes here are low enough that parts often need ordering.
What a Fiat job usually involves
