Hi all new member here only just joined because I have just bought a second hand 2011 cat d 1400 auto punto evo for the wife for Christmas,
So I will be looking for info on how the gadgets work because the car didn't come with the hand books,
So please be patient with my questions
thanks

hi, the car is basically still a Grande Punto, with a few additions,
use the GP guides for most info,
look out for meets in your area too, as the weather warms-up,
Charlie

Additionally to varesecrazy informations, you can download the exactly book your need for your car, at Fiat official aftersales page :

you are most welcome,

where are you based?,
I'm trying to get a database of recommended autolocksmiths, as FIATS prices are beyond cheeky,

cost SHOULD be around£100 - NOT £300

Just updated forum details,
I'm in Cardiff, South Wales,
Any help would be great thanks,

Cost was about £170 when I last checked, security doesn't come cheap

cheapest way to a 2nd working key..,

go on ebay, buy a key of the same style to yours -(£15)

shop around FIAT dealers for the CODE necessary to add a key into cars ECU
( £15 to £35)
it'll be a sheet of A4 paper..so whoever is cheapest in the UK..!!


take it along with the car to a decent autolocksmith,

they'll take the key apart, change the chip, and remove the blade

use a CNC machine to SCAN the working key, then cut a copy which then gets fitted to the "ebay KEY",

then they'll plug a box into the cars OBD port, and code in BOTH of the keys,

this could take around an hour , and cost @£100

hope that helps,

look in the forums, Clubs and Events listings, :idea:
Cymru Italia are a friendly bunch, and somebody fairly local may be able to recommend a place for the key coding,

market forces..,

hopefully that cheap, but I've seen some really Wild quotes too
same as the code prices from different dealers,

Just a quick update
I had crazy prices from main dealers and some auto locksmiths for a spaire key but I ended up getting a plain one with chip that opens the car,
starts the car and opens the fuel lock for the MASSIVE price of wait for it ----------£35.00 don't think many will beat that,

You assume right

I called into a local Market/boot sale and a mobile key cutter did it there and then.
