I could not find a locksmith who would use this key fob. Apparently, there are issues with aftermarket keys for the Fiat 500. According to my dealership, aftermarket keys can ruin the computer on your car and make it unusable. This may work for a 500L, but for the 500, no locksmith will work with it. Very sad.
Got 2 of them because the dealership only had 1 key when I got my 2017 ford focus. Was very easy to have a lock smith cut and program it. Works very well.
A locksmith was indeed required to get the key working, and it works for the door and push to start, but the panic button and trunk release don't work. So it serves the purpose but isn't comparable to the oem.
I took it to be programmed, the locksmith cut the key but said there was no signal. He tested my existing key and found a signal, no problem. For the price of the remote and the programming, I now have a $100 key with no remote features!
Excellent remote/key for my Fiat 500 Abarth. Took to my local Lock Smith and he cut the key and programmed with NO issues what so ever! Would have cost over $300 at the Dealership. I spent $80 total!
