How We Fix Fiat Keys, Fobs, And Immobilisers
We use professional, non-destructive methods wherever possible. On rare occasions where drilling or component removal is unavoidable (for example, severely damaged locks or faulted ignitions), we’ll explain the options, costs, and get your approval before any work.
Our Fiat solution in simple steps:
- Diagnose the issue
- We confirm your Fiat model, year, and key type (blade, remote fob, smart/proximity).
- We use OBD2 diagnostics and, where necessary, advanced EEPROM techniques to read immobiliser data, particularly on certain Fiat systems shared with PSA/Stellantis platforms.
- Secure your vehicle
- If your keys are lost or stolen, we can erase old keys from the ECU/Body Computer so they no longer start the car, and program fresh keys.
- Create and cut your key
- We cut laser and standard Fiat key blades to code from your vehicle or key number, using high-precision machines for high-security vehicle keys.
- Program the transponder/fob
- We complete transponder key programming and remote central locking setup, including smart key programming for push-to-start models where applicable.
- Test and handover
- We test door/boot locks, ignition, remote functions, and engine start. You leave with a fully working key and clear guidance on usage and care.
Technologies and tools we use:
- Dealer-level diagnostic software for Fiat/Alfa/Lancia platforms
- OBD2 key programming and immobiliser PIN retrieval, where authorised
- EEPROM key programming for specific ECU/BCM types
- Key cutting by code, including laser cut and flip-key systems
- Non-destructive entry tools and air wedges to protect seals and paint
Fiat Models We Work With
- Fiat 500, 500C, 500L, 500X
- Panda, Punto, Grande Punto, Punto Evo
- Tipo, Bravo, Stilo
- Doblo, Fiorino, Qubo
- Ducato, Talento, Scudo (including camper/motorhome conversions)

FAQs: Fiat Auto Locksmith Maidstone
Can you make a new Fiat key without the original?
Yes. Using OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM methods for specific Fiat systems, we can create and program a new key without the original. We also remove any lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser for security.
How long does Fiat key replacement take?
Most replacements are completed in a single mobile visit. Simple spare keys can be done relatively quickly; lost-all-keys or EEPROM jobs typically take longer due to security procedures. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe when you call.
My Fiat key fob is not working. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes a new battery or button repair fixes it. If the transponder is faulty or the board is damaged, we’ll advise on a cost-effective key fob replacement or repair after diagnostics. See more under key fob not working.
Will you damage my Fiat when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and protect paintwork and seals. In rare cases of severe lock failure, we’ll discuss options and get your approval before proceeding.
Is a locksmith faster than going to a Fiat dealer?
Often, yes. We come to you, so there’s no towing or waiting for workshop slots. Our mobile service with dealer-level equipment provides an efficient alternative to the dealer. If you’re comparing costs, see our overview of auto locksmith prices in Maidstone and request a tailored quote.
Which Fiat models and years do you cover?
We cover most Fiat models from older keys up to current 2024/2025 vehicles. Call with your reg or VIN and we’ll confirm availability of keys and programming support.
