Keyless Entry
If you have an entry system that is keyless on your Fiat 500, you can secure and unlock the car from anywhere with a push of the button. This technology is becoming increasingly popular in all types of cars which adds convenience and security to the use of your car.

If the battery is drained replace it with a fresh one that is the same voltage, size, and type as the original. It is important to ensure that the battery's contact points are clean and free of dust or corrosion.
The rubber seals on the key fob are designed to protect the electronic chip from water. However prolonged exposure to salty or soapy water could cause the chip to fail. If your key fob has been exposed to water, remove the battery and allow it to dry completely before putting it back in. You can also clean the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner.
While some people may believe that keyless entry is less secure, the system is actually more secure than traditional systems due to the fact that the code used to unlock your car is rolled away after each use. This means that even if hackers attempt to intercept the signal, they won't be able to gain access to your car.
Transponders
Fiat utilizes a crypto-key transponder system which means that keys/transponders must be precoded by the Body Control Module before they are "programmed" in the BCM. This is why an unwritten key is not able to be programmed, as the BCM has to read & write the secret key to the transponder, then lock it. This process is called"cloning.
