Hi,

When I bought my Coupe, I saw there were three little plates attached to one of the keys. I thought it could be lied to the alarm that was installed to the car (but removed by one of the numerous owners), and non stock.

But I saw on a eBay a picture with a similar plate on a key...

Is this the key code ? I thought it was on a card... And the code starts with a letter then 4 numbers.

Thanks.

Do you know?

I had a code on bit of metal like that dangling from a Bravo 155 20v set of keys that I had once.

I had always taken it to be some mechanical reference associated with the lock mechanism.

Perhaps that is none sense...

Hi,
i think it is a Fiat cutting code ,if you want a new "uncodeed" key.

Yes, that's the "mechanical" code for the door locks.

The Fiat CODE card is blue plastic card like a credit card and contains the 4 digit code that is sent from the yellow CODE box to the engine ECU to allow starting (or allow bypassing of the CODE immobiliser if faulty) and also has the mechanical key code for the locks. These CODE cards were not normally supplied by Fiat UK to owners "at the behest of the insurance companies" (according to the owner's handbook).

A third type of code card is red in colour and is supplied with the Meta alarm system, but I'm not sure what info it contains.

I was right!

The intuition from owning 15 FIATs has not gone nowhere...
