Remotes
The remote controls on Fiat automobiles look a lot like the keys themselves, except they have an IR (infrared) LED on the top.

The signal is picked up by a microprocessor located in the key, which transforms it into a code that is then transmitted to the device.
This is referred to as "keyless entry". The more recent your vehicle is and the more likely to have a keyless entry system. The more modern your car is has, the more features you'll likely find in it. This includes locking and unlocking your car with the pressing a button or opening the doors without touching the handle, and much more.
The key fob comes with an integrated circuit chip that communicates with the immobiliser system of the car.

The vehicle will not start if the chip is missing or if it's not programmed to the right immobiliser system.

Replace the battery by using a newer one of the same voltage size, type, and size as the original if it's drained.

The rubber seals on the key fob guard the electronic chip from water. However prolonged exposure to salty or soapy water can cause the chip to fail. If your key fob has been exposed to water, you must remove it and allow the battery to dry completely before replacing it. You can also clean the electronic chip with isopropyl, or electronic cleaner.
The keyless entry system is more secure than conventional systems, since it generates the code that is used to unlock your car after every use. This means that hackers will not be able to gain permanent access to the vehicle even when they intercept the signal.
Transponders
Fiat uses a crypto key transponder system which means that the keys and transponders have to be precoded by the Body Control Module before they are "programmed" by the BCM. This is the reason why an unwritten key cannot be programmed because the BCM must read and write it's secret key to the transponder and then lock it. This is known as"cloning.
