Hello all,

I have two sets of keys for my 53 Plate Fiat Stilo. The main one is the electronic one which operates the locking from a distance.

The spare one doesn't seem to have any electronic features - Just an actual key.

The problem is, the spare key let's me lock/unluck the car etc But it will not let me start the car. It's like the immobiliser won't deactivate with it.

Is this a common problem? Any reason why this is happening?

Thanks
 
when the original transponder is still inside the key you might consider reprogramming both keys again - when the normal key can't be programmed the transponder could be faulty.
 
So the basic key with no Remote Locking etc still has a transponder inside it which will prevent it from starting?

I thought it was just an old school 'key' but alas... probably not.

Not really worth me fixing then?
