Default Key/Radio Code Card

I was reading in the hand book that when you get the keys for your car you should also get a card with a code on for the radio and incase you need another key ordering. Is this right?

I cant seem to find one in all of the info and I want handed one.

I would be greatful of anyones advice. x

Fiat used to keep all the radio codes on a system, but nowwer days you should have got a little card with the keycode on it. If not just give your dealer a ring and they should have it

The key card is a blue plastic card that has a picture of a key and says the word "code" and has two numbers printed on it (an electronic code and a mechanical code). Don't put it in your wallet / purse because the numbers will rub off like mine are beginning to do, and you will need the 5 digit electronic code to programme additional keys and key-fobs.

That's the code for the audio. Nothing to do with keys.

Key Codes are no longer issued, despite the handbook still saying they are, as all codes are held centrally by Fiat.

If you lose a key and need new ones programmed any Fiat dealership in Europe can do it, all they need is the VIN and proof that you own the car you are trying to get keys cut for.
