How to Open an Alfa Romeo with a Dead Key Fob

Alfa Romeo introduced push button start in the new Giulia model in 2017, followed by the Stelvio in 2018. They use the same key fob.

Getting Inside

A mechanical key will be needed to unlock the driver’s door. The fob will need to be removed from any key ring its attached to first. The mechanical is hiding in  the fob and the cover on the back must be removed to find it. Squeeze the sides of fob at the wide end marked by raised ribs, as shown in the image (right).

The back cover can now be pulled away moving, it towards where the key ring was attached. The mechanical key is seen inside and can then be pulled out.

Insert the key into the lock cylinder at the back of the driver’s door and turn, and you’ll be in the car.
