Technical key reprograming
Yep, I have the same dilemma. I got my 2nd hand key off ebay for reprogramming, but I have not yet payed the £50 for the registered copy of fiatecuscan. If I knew the program is going to be useful in the future, I would probably just buy it.
I've got the registered version, if your near Wolverhampton your welcome to use it.
Not sure whether it's changed with later versions of FES, but it was only possible to reprogram the remote control part of the key, not the immobiliser transponder chip.

that's correct, you will need the original transponders which came with the original car keys because the immo code algorithm is stored inside them - without the matching transponder the car won't start....
I've just purchased the full version today. Do you know what section this is under?
Body > Marelli MF Body Computer > Adjustments > Remote control programming
So, there is no point going down the second hand key from eBay and then reprogramming route to get a spare?
I'm planning on getting another remote key and transplanting my none remote key into it and programming it so that I have 2 remote keys.
As long as you have the original transponder to put into the key so the immobiliser works, you can reprogram the buttons to work your own car using FES.

No, that won't work....
the only way to produce a new working transponder is to read the eeprom file of the bodycomputer, use this file with a key cloning device like Zed Bull to precode a blank ID48 transponder and fit this new transponder in a new/second hand Fiat key.
Then you can use FES to program this key to your bodycomputer, it will be accepted because it now has the correct immo algoritm in the transponder.
Oops, I have not been back to this site for a while
Thanks Shadeyman, thats a very kind offer. I will have to buy you a pint for your troubles.
I only have a spare key with no remote locking, so I want to swap the blade and immobiliser into the ebay key. Once the ebay key has been successfully programmed.
sorry not been on for a while but thanks for all the threads
Ok, I`m a bit confused by all the above.
I`ve got a 2nd hand key fob from Ebay. All I want it to do is open the door from the remote, for my GF (who doesn`t drive).
Is it possible to do that and how?
Thanks.

from memory the RF learn procedure is carried out after the key programming.
