Hi FF,

A month ago i traded my punto mk2 for a 2007 stilo with the 8v jtd. Ever since i got it, the only key it came with had a ridiculous short range, i had to be within 1-2 meters of the car for the doors to open/close and the window open/closing feature would often stop halfway. My first thought was changing the battery, which i did, i've put in a top of the line, quite expensive, energizer... It helped but only a bit, it sill works in the max 2 meters ragnge, but the windows are openging/closing for as long as i keep the button pressed.

Unfortunately i don't have another key fob to try with, but could it be an issue with the fob? Or with the ECU/antenna connector being dirty/oxydated, if so, where can i find the ECU and the antenna?

Also, if i can find a fob from another car, is it possible to programm it to work with the car? Has anyone tried this?
Also if programming a key is possible, can a fiat 500 key be programmed to the stilo? It's quite pretty

You need to keep the unlock or lock button pressed for more than 2 seconds to activate the window closing/opening function.
.

I agree, but my problem is with the range. I get about 2 meters/yards of range to open / close the car.

Is this the standard range? How much are you guys getting?

Did anyone managed to reprogram a key? What do i need for it?
I want to get a buletooth elm327 v1.5 (or so it's advertised by DX), is it any good?
Thanks
