Remotes
Remote controls for Fiat vehicles are similar to the keys themselves, with the exception that they have an IR (infrared) LED at the bottom. This LED transmits an electronic signal to the device that can open or shut down the vehicle when pressed. The signal is interpreted by a microprocessor located in the key, which converts it into a code which is then transmitted to the device.
This is also known as "keyless entry". The newer your vehicle is, the more likely it will be to feature a keyless entry system. The more advanced your car has, the more features it will have. This includes locking and unlocking your car with a one touch, opening the doors without touching the handle, and much more.
The key fob contains an integrated circuit chip that communicates with the vehicle's immobiliser system. The system is able to determine if the correct key is present by looking for a particular sequence of numbers in the transponder chip. If the chip isn't present, or has not been
programmed to the correct immobiliser system, then the vehicle will not begin.

Keyless Entry
If you have a keyless entry system in your Fiat 500, you can lock and unlock your car from any location with the click of a button. This technology is increasingly common in all types of cars and provides security and convenience to the usage of your vehicle.
Check to see if the remote keyless entry system is not working. The battery that powers the coin inside the fob could be depleted. Replace the battery with a newer one that has the same voltage, type, and size as the original one if it's depleted. Also, ensure that the battery's contacts are free of dust or corrosion.
The key fob's rubber seals to protect the chip inside from water, however, prolonged exposure to salty or soapy water may cause the chip to fail. If your key fob is exposed to water, remove the battery and allow it to dry completely before putting it back in. You can also clean the electronic chip using isopropyl alcohol, or an electronic cleaner.
While some people might 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 gets rolled up after each use. This means that hackers will not have the ability to gain permanent access to your vehicle even if they intercept the signal.
Transponders
Fiat uses a crypto key transponder system, which means that the keys and transponders have to be encoded with a secret code that is generated by the Body Control Module (BCM) before being "programmed" into the BCM. This is the reason a blank unwritten key is not able to be programmed because the BCM must read and write its secret key to the transponder, then lock it. This process is referred to as the cloning.
