I'm not sure if anyone can shed any light but I'm currently trying to understand the procedure carried out by Fiat when new remote keys are programmed into the remote receiver for the locking/alarm using the Fiat Examiner diagnostic machine.
The workshop manual (eLearn) states that a PASSWORD for the remote receiver first needs to be entered into Examiner before any new remote keys can be programmed to the remote receiver. The manual also states that this PASSWORD should be obtained from the Fiat Parts database (only accessible by dealers) using the chassis number of the car so it sounds like the PASSWORD might not be something that was given to the original owner of the car when it was bought new from the dealer and is only recorded and stored in Fiat's central database, or am I wrong?
From experience of other Fiat/Alfa remote locking/alarm systems, a PASSWORD also needs to be entered before new remote keys can be programmed into their remote receivers but the difference being that this can be done manually via a button on the remote receiver (i.e. Fiat Examiner is NOT required to program in new remote keys like it is with the Multipla). On these cars, the PASSWORD is actually the 4-digit code of one of the already programmed in keys, and each 4-digit code (in the format "1.2.3.4") was supplied to the original owner of the car on a white sticker tag attached to each key.
So I have the following questions specifically about the Multipla system:-
Any help/info anyone can give me on this would be appreciated.

So I have the following questions specifically about the Multipla system:-
- Does anyone know if the PASSWORD that needs to be entered into Examiner for the Multipla receivers is a 4-digit number, or is it a different length number? (if so, how many digits is it?)
- Did any Multipla owners get given the 4-digit codes of their remote keys when the car was bought new? (i.e. were the white 4-digit code sticker tags attached to the keys, or had the stickers been put in the service book or on the CODE card?)
- If yes to (2), then does anyone know if it is one (or any) of the 4-digit remote key codes that is actually the PASSWORD for the Multipla remote receiver, or is there a separate PASSWORD used on the Multipla systems which is unrelated to any of the 4-digit remote key codes?
Any help/info anyone can give me on this would be appreciated.
