Key And RFH Programming: Notes

NOTE:

The Fiat Spiders electrical system architecture is very sensitive to battery voltage. A battery charger MUST be used when performing this procedure if you want to have any chance of success.

NOTE:

There must be at least two keys programmed in order for this routine to perform properly.

NOTE:

Keys must be separated while programming (key not being programming needs to be outside and away from the vehicle.

NOTE:

Electronic devices such as computers, laptops or cell phones must not be in the vehicle when programming or this routine can fail. Disconnect aftermarket cell phone chargers before attempting to program the key fob.

ADD KEY PROCEDURE 

  1. Log into Dealerconnect or Service Library and retrieve a new Personal Identification Number (PIN) using the standard process.
  2. Connect to the vehicle using the diagnostic scan tool. Navigate into the Radio Frequency Hub (RFH) and select the "Misc Functions" tab and then click "Add Key".
  3. You will be prompted to enter the PIN you retrieved from Dealerconnect or Service Library in the previous step. Enter the PIN and press continue.
  4. The PIN now needs to be validated. This process involves contacting multiple servers in the background and is automated through diagnostic scan tool. The process takes seven minutes to complete.
    NOTE:

    On early build vehicles, the seven minute delay may not be required. Continue to Step 5 if the PIN is validated immediately.

  5. Once authenticated and unlocked, a screen showing "Shift to the additional registration mode of remote transmitter" will be displayed. Press "Continue".
  6. The Add Key procedure currently written in the diagnostic scan tool is not entirely correct and is being updated. DO NOT PRESS CONTINUE  at this time.
  7. Depress the brake on automatic transmission vehicles or depress the clutch on manual transmission vehicles. The push start button will start blinking green.
  8. Within 10 Seconds of depressing the brake or clutch pedal, place the FIAT logo end of the key fob up to the push start ignition but do not depress the push button. Once completed successfully, the light will turn solid green (new key) or solid amber (reprogrammed key).
    NOTE:

    The microchip in the key fob is located under the Fiat Logo. Make sure the Fiat Logo is as close as possible to the push button ignition.

  9. Once the key fob is successfully learned by the RFH, press "Continue". If you want to program additional fobs, DO NOT  select "Yes" and press "Continue" on the screen. You must press "Cancel" and restart the entire procedure from the "Misc Functions" menu. Only one fob can be added at a time  .
    NOTE:

    You must finish the current key programming procedure by following Step 10 before trying to add an additional key.

  10. You will now need to complete the programming of the key fob. This part of the procedure is not performed through the scan tool.
  11. Cycle the Ignition Off.
  12. Press the push to start button with the Fiat Logo (microchip) end of the key fob. The vehicle should start.
  13. Cycle the ignition Off and place the key fob in the passenger seat. The vehicle should now start when pressing the button.
