🔧 PRO TIP
The 2012 Fiat 500 uses a 3-button remote head key with a flip blade. The fob and transponder chip are all one unit, so if the blade snaps or the remote stops responding, you are dealing with one replacement, not two separate parts. The battery is a CR2032. Before calling anyone, try this: hold the fob about a foot from the ignition cylinder when you crank it. If the engine starts and runs normally from that distance but acts up from the keyring position, you have a weak battery or a delaminating transponder, not a dead key. Also worth knowing: the flip mechanism on these sees a lot of wear. The pivot pin loosens over time and the blade starts flopping instead of locking open. That is usually a shell rebuild, not a full key replacement. Know what you actually have before spending money.

2012 Fiat 500 Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy pulled into the Bayside area of Imperial Beach after driving up from the border, loaded down with road-trip gear stuffed into his 2012 Fiat 500. He had tried to unlock the door manually after his fob went unresponsive, forced it a little too hard in a hurry, and the blade snapped clean inside the door cylinder. Half of it was still inside the lock.

He had already called one locksmith who told him the cylinder would need to be drilled out and replaced, and quoted him a number that made him sit on the curb for a while before he called me.

First thing I did was pull data through the OBD port to get what I needed for the transponder side of the job before I touched the lock itself. Then I got into the door cylinder with my extraction tools, working carefully around the broken fragment without touching the wafer surfaces. The piece came out clean. No damage to the cylinder, no drilling, no drama.

Once the cylinder was clear, I decoded it by reading each wafer position directly. Cut a new blade from those readings. Assembled the flip mechanism, programmed the transponder and remote functions, tested everything: door lock, unlock, trunk release, ignition start.

His original cylinder still works. His original lock still works. The key I handed him fit and functioned like the car had never seen a bad day.

He asked me what the drilling-and-replacement job would have actually involved. I told him: new cylinder, rekeying, still needing a programmed key on top of it. He saved a significant amount. More than that, he kept his original hardware, which matters when you are driving a car with a lot of personality built into the little details.

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”

“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”

Fiat 500 Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to replace my 2012 Fiat 500 key?
Call a mobile locksmith first. The dealer route on a 2012 Fiat 500 remote head key means towing if you have no working key, booking a service appointment, waiting for parts if they do not stock the fob, and paying separately for the key, the cut, and the programming labor. That adds up fast. With me, the key, the cut, the programming, and the mobile trip to your location in Imperial Beach near Bayside are all one thing. No tow, no waiting room. If you still have a working key and just want a spare, that is even quicker since the immobilizer does not need a full reset. Either way, call before you assume the dealer is your only option.
How much more does all-keys-lost cost compared to adding a spare?
Do aftermarket keys actually work on a 2012 Fiat 500, or should I go OEM-spec?
My 2012 Fiat 500 starts fine but the remote buttons stopped working. Do I need a whole new key?
The blade on my flip key is loose and wobbles. Can that be fixed without replacing the whole key?
