Technical punto 2001 no red key

[stingclive33]

Hi I know this problem has been aired loads of times (new member cant find how to search old threads) I only received one blue key which works great ie the doors lock when lock activated (all doors) and it starts. I would like a spare and I believe you need the red key in order to do the spare.........help

Hi and WELCOME TO THE FORUM!! :wave:

A 2001 will be a mk2 punto. They do not have a red key as they use the code2 system. Your new key will need to be programmed in using Fiat Examiner.

Hope that helps,
Alan

Thanks for the welcome, if I only have the blue key where do I go to get the Fiat examiner treatment and what do I need to take with me. I am glad it doesnt need the red key as I am led to believe this is new ECU and worse. The trouble being a little knowledge is dangerous some folks just quote rumour. Thanks very much for your help

Hi no problem.

The new key can be programmed in by examiner at a fiat dealer. Be prepared though, your looking at a bit over £100 for a non remote key, or over £150 for a remote key.

If you have the key code card take that, some dealers require proof of ownership, so take the v5 and photo driving liscence just incase.

Hi clive,

No worries about the key code card, most people dont have them!

Good luck,
