Disabling the Immobiliser on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018

In the following video, you will see how it is possible, in case of emergency, to start the car engine by bypassing the immobiliser. Test with the coded key first and then with a non-coded one to notice the difference, following the procedure as titled. In the second case, with the non-coded key, install the Fiat Bypass from OBDII in the compartment to the left of the steering wheel, specifically in the only serial socket available. Disconnect the existing connector and connect the bypass as described. At this point, it will be possible to start the engine without any issues.

Setting the clock to the current Italian time on an Opel Zafira model B is a very simple operation, also made easier by our short instructional video. The first step is to turn on the instrument panel and then press the SETTING button located on the central dashboard. Once inside the menu, use the buttons to navigate to the clock setting.
