I have just bought a 54 1.2 Active but only came with 1 key. Any idea's how much a new key will cost? do I have to go to a Fiat dealer for it?

Key cutting
About £125 (I assume it's none remote etc, just a basic key), and yes, needs to be mainstealer who will order key from factory.
Car come with the imobiliser code? If so you can knock about £15 off of that price.
Still need to get a spare key for my sisters 2004 Panda Active

do them for £52 (non remote) + £40 programming (includes code)...2 day turnaround.

Absolute rip-off. No code/remote/immobiliser.
The £40 is for the code/immobiliser

hi there i work for fiat maindealer i think the key can be a very exspensive part we have to order a key with code card then the labour for programming fiat charge more than they charged my brother for a new key and codeing and that from porshe lol
no immobiliser
I think the original owner was shafted on initial cost price to allow for this

no immobiliser
Is it built into the key?
all mk2 puntos are code 2 (immobiliser chip inside key)

Cheers T, makes a bit more sense.
What if I took the original chip out of my key, that looks as though its about to break, and glued it to an area around the ignition barrel. Then cut some cheap blanks. Would I be able to use these to start my car. Surley it should reckognise that there is a valid chip in the area.
I hope I dont sound daft, lol

yes, but that would be a very silly idea probably invalidate your insurance.
And you car would be able to be hot wired.
How about remove the chip and put it into another key and get it cut?
thing is if your car is stolen you will have some explaining to do to the insurance company (and possibly police) and before you doubt this I have had to give evidence a few times already.

That's simple to get round. When the insurers ask: "Does the car have an immobiliser fitted?" Answer: No.
