Technical Will it ever end?

All Stilos sold new in the UK were fitted with remote locking.

Thanks for that, I didn't know :) In NZ only the 1.8 and Abarth versions were sold, and while both of those had remote locking, I was thinking it would be typical of FIAT to strip those features from cheaper models so that the 'bare bones' Stilo was barely any more expensive than a Punto ELX ;)

Paolo Cantarella (I think it was :eek:) once said in the 60s that FIAT should offer a car at every price point from a basic 500 up to a 130 Coupe in small increments (can't remember the exact value). That way, they could always persuade the customer to spend just a little more...

Anyway, to get the remote locking working properly it will probably be necessary to reprogram the remote keys into the body computer. I believe FIAT/MultiECUScan can do this.

I suspect the windows-going-down problem is going to be a mechanical problem with the switch on the key barrel. WD40 in the lock probably won't reach the affected part and a new micro switch may be necessary (think Maplin rather than FIAT, as it is probably a standard-size micro switch when you really get down to it).

Just wanted to update this, and thank everyone again.

Got the multiecuscan and re-programed my keys works fine apart from the boot button doesnt seem to do anything? but woop woop i can open and close the doors with the remote (i could stand there all day doing it)

Got rid of the "service due" which is nothing really but its always done my nut in.

So thank you and you're all awesome (y)
