hi, i got a 2000 brava 1.2 and i want 2 program a new key but i not sure if the key i got is a master key or not, is there any where of knowing if i have the master key because i only got this 1 key for my car when i bought it the other week and i dont fancy paying out loads at the local dealer for a new key and for them 2 program it when i can do it my self. thanx

I may be wrong, as I'm new to Fiat.
But with my Brava I got 1 X red coloured master key and 3 X blue keys. I beleive the key should have red plastic on if it is the master

you get 3 keys when new, 2 blue slave keys and 1 red master key.

to find out if the red key you have is actually the master, insert it in the ignition barrel and switch the ignition on. the orange key code light will illuminate and then go out. turn the ignition off and then back on, the key code light should stay on this time. if it doesnt then you dont have the correct master key and you wont be able to program other keys into the immob.

hi, the only key i have for my fiat is a blue one, but some people say that if it had a trangle and a number 2 on the key part it self then i wont need a red master key 2 program new keys but i dont know if that is true or not

to programme a new key you need 2 things

1) the key with the chunky red end (master key)
2) FIAT code car ( i card with 4 numbers on it)

with out both of these ur gonna have sum serious issues getting another key

you dont need the code card to program keys. you will need a code (printed on a paper keyring) when programming a remote key into the alarm, which is completely seperate to programming a key into the immob.

to programme keys all you need is the red key.
