Spare keysRegain Entry Into Your Fiat Punto
A worn, lost or snapped Fiat Punto key stops the car dead. Whether it is a Grande Punto flip key that has finally given up or every key gone missing, an immobilised Punto is a car you cannot start and cannot afford to be without.
The dealer route means recovering the Punto, waiting for a slot and paying for the key, the coding and the transport. A general key cutter cannot help either — the Punto runs a coded immobiliser, so an uncoded key opens the door but never fires the engine. You need someone who knows the Punto key system across its Grande Punto and Punto Evo generations.
That is Lock City. We are a Fiat-focused mobile locksmith carrying the dealer-level software, the correct transponders and the SIP22 blanks your Punto needs. We come to you, repair or replace the key and code it to your immobiliser on-site — no towing, no dealer wait, and every Punto key replacement guaranteed. Call 07967 097 899, Mon–Fri 8am–5:30pm.
Fiat Punto Keys: Types & What You Need
The Punto badge covers several closely related cars, all on the SIP22 platform. Telling us which one (or your reg) means we bring the right blank, chip and software:
Grande Punto / Punto Evo / Punto (199 series, 2005–2018)
- Blade: SIP22.
- Transponder: Megamos (ID48) on most cars, with earlier examples on Philips Hitag2 (ID46).
- Remote: a flip (switchblade) remote is common — especially on the Punto Evo — alongside plain transponder keys on base trims.
- All-keys-lost: programmed by OBD at the roadside; the Punto is not keyless, which keeps the job simple and affordable.
The classic Punto job
- A worn flip spring or micro-switch, so the blade will not stay out or the buttons stop working — we re-shell and transfer the electronics rather than sell a whole new key.
- A “dead key” that is really just a flat CR2032 fob battery — a two-minute fix, not a new key.
Note: the exact transponder generation varies across Grande Punto, Punto Evo and the later plain Punto [verify against your VIN]. Tell us your reg and we will confirm the key type before we come out.

Fiat Punto Key Replacement — Your Questions Answered
Why does my Fiat Grande Punto flip key keep failing?
It is the most common Punto key fault. The flip (switchblade) key has a small spring and micro-switches that wear out, so the blade stops springing out or the buttons stop working. We can re-shell the key and transfer your existing electronics and blade — much cheaper than a brand-new coded key.
Can you replace a Punto key without going to a Fiat dealer?
Yes. We cut and programme Grande Punto, Punto Evo and Punto keys at the roadside by OBD using dealer-level software. There is no need to recover the car or book into a dealer. See our Fiat key programming service.
How much is a replacement Fiat Punto key in Bristol?
The Punto is one of the cheaper Fiats to key because it is a bladed transponder or flip key rather than a smart fob. A spare is the cheapest tier; an all-keys-lost costs more. Send us your registration and we will confirm the exact price before we travel.
I’ve lost all the keys to my Punto — what happens now?
We treat it as an all-keys-lost job: we generate a fresh key, cut the SIP22 blade and code it to your immobiliser at the roadside, so the Punto starts before we leave. More detail on our lost car keys page.
My Punto key turns but the remote does nothing — do I need a new key?
Usually not. This is almost always a flat CR2032 fob battery or a worn micro-switch, not a failed transponder. We can replace the battery or repair the remote for a fraction of a new key, and re-cut the blade if it is worn.
