If the key is dead, then its off to the dealer who must order a new one from Italy using your code. Its around $250. However, mine gave trouble because the battery contacts did not make good enougfh contact with the circuit board. I sim ply split the key open (screw under the Alfa emblem) and bent the conct a little.

Or you could buy a 159 and avoid this problem completely.
