my fiat doblo key remote has stopped working and i only have 1 key.

i can still get into the car and drive but cant unlock the doors with the remote button, its a single button job and fiat want £150 for a key £50 to recode and £25 for all the information, key code , key no ect as i have lost mine !!

is there a a cheaper way around this ? , you see people selling them on ebay how does that work . as i am sure youre aware they have a chip in for the immobiliser so what good is a second hand 1 ?

information greatfull,

cheers

Have you replaced the battery in the key?

A colleague of mine does plip keys for about £150 all in. There are some battery powered clones on the market now which come in cheaper but I'm not sure if they do one for Fiat yet.
Phone around different dealers and local independent auto locksmiths.

You can install a cheap car security system and you'll receive 2 remotes that you can use to lock/unlock the doors from a far greater distance compared to the one the original key works from. And you'll feel safer too...
