fiat immobiliser question?
my mates fiat brava (V reg) the immobilser has to be reset but he doesnt have the red master key, the car wont start or anything, its been having work done on it at a different garage, now they say they cant do anything with it, and that it needs towing to a fiat garage,
fiat garage want around £800 to recode the car (wtf)
the car isnt even worth £800, is a way around this?
cheers

The missus used to have a Fiat with this setup, when she bought the car the salesman gave ger a 10 minute lecture about not losing the red key. Think he mentioned £700 but that might not have included the vat.
He aslo said that if anyone was trading in one without the key they'd knock that amount off the value.
Apparently its not the key that cost the money, its the new ecu that goes with it. Don't know if you could get one from a scappy if it still has the key to go with it.
