Hi

I have got 1999 Seicento 899cc and it came with 2 blue keys

One of the blue keys works fine but the other doesn't

I called a local Fiat dealer and he said it's £95 plus vat to program the second key ( not bad for an hours work ! )

Does anyone know of a cheaper way of doing it ?

Thanks

Andy

You could try Timpsons. They say they are cheaper. Not used them for car keys myself but they were OK for other stuff.

Hi

Tried those this afternoon but they say the key is locked and they couldn't copy it

Thanks

That depends....
1999? -i'm not sure if you have Code 1 or Code 2 keys
If they are Code 2 they will be marked C265 & need specialist knowledge & equipment so £95+vat for programming isn't a bad price -whichever type you have this guy might very well be cheaper https://www.fiatforum.com/members/ponsaloti/

IF it's only a case that the key is worn, buckled or cracked then there is a cheap alternative to getting a new key programmed....
Inside the key will be the transponder chip
VERY carefully cut this out of the rubber case & insert it into a new Seicento/Punto key shell (circa £1.50 off eBay) & get it cut at any key cutters.

Hi Ouby

It's a code 2 key I think as it has a 2 on the key

I will try that link you gave me

I have got a second key but it just won't start the car so I think the transponder needs re programming

Thanks for your advice you have been very helpful
