Afternoon

Changed my key fob case in work with the car at home just got home, and it won't start says security failure, turns over but won't start

Any help or info, don't think I have the key code either.

Need it for work later any help would be great

Hi @paullawton2007
There is a transponder chip in the key case. Not sure about the exact details of a Stio key, but normally it's a little "plastic" block about 1/4" long roughly rectangular, slightly tapered. See picture attached.
You need to swap this to the new key case. They normally just clip in. If the new case is brand new it won't have one, if it's used it might have one.

i remeber something falling out when i split the old case! thats what it will be, im just about to go back to work and hopefully it on my work bench mixed in with a load of tools!

finger crossed!

cheers man! i should be in a hot beer garden now!

Stilo keys use the ID48 immobiliser chip. It's a small glass vial that's easy to fall out of some keys when you seperate the 2 halves of the casing.

Look on the floor where you did it and hope that nobody has stepped on it.

Yep,
Thats the other common style, like this

About 1/2" long Similar to the ones used in dogs and cats. I think the Fiat one is ID13 VAG use the ID48

Quick update:

Went back to work, and checked the old case on my bench and it was still in their! thank god, but was covered in old dirt and thats why i probs missed it.

had a panic attack as this was my only key!, im going get the code for the car and then prog another fob to the car.

Davren-Can you get hold of the code if i give you some info on the car (VIN etc?)

well in wanting to change all my cases on my fiats mainly Stilo's this is my third Stilo and first time changing the cases!. and a new thing learnt also.

Thanks for all you help, got a towbar arriving tomorrow so gonna fit that then i should have a tow car for my caravan!

in case anybody else misses it! its here in the case and is the glass type.

That's handy to know Paul. I was thinking of a new case for my key .Now I know..

How easy is it to program the fob? I thought the battery had gone on mine so replaced it. The led flashes but no joy..reprogramming the fob is next then

No, can't get the vehicle security codes, but Neil at Sturgess Motor Group has offered to provide them to forum members for only £12.50 + VAT. There's a thread here: https://www.fiatforum.com/sturgess-fiat/420853-fiat-codes.html
