About Spider Keys

Security System & Immobilizer

Modern Ferraris pair immobilizer transponders with model-specific remotes; several eras share Fiat-group architecture underneath. We assess by VIN and are honest about which years are field-programmable versus dealer-only.

On the Spider specifically we see: ID48 (Megamos Crypto), 4A (HITAG-AES / PCF7953). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Ferrari Spider Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my Spider. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.

My Spider is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?

Yes. Late models (2019–2023) use a proximity smart key on 4A (HITAG-AES / PCF7953) — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.

Do you still stock keys for older Spiders?

Yes — back to the 1999–2005 generation (transponder ignition key (bosch immobilizer, ir/fob auth)), and a fresh code-cut key beats any copy of a worn original.
