Transponders
Fiat employs 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" within the BCM. This is the reason why an unwritten key is not able to be programmed, because the BCM has to read & write its secret key to the transponder before locking it. This is referred to as"cloning.
