My daughter has lost the alarm fob for her 2010 Fiat 500 (bought new).
She still has all the information provided with the car,
in particular a card with a picture of a car key on it,
giving an Electronic Code and a Mechanical Code.

Is it possible to get a new alarm fob online?
If so, is the above sufficient information for this?

She has the key for the car (two of them),
and only wants the alarm fob.

The reason she needs this is that the car will not start,
and the alarm goes off when she opens the door.
(It stops when she closes the door and locks it.)
Could the alarm actually stop the car starting?
Or does it just go off because the battery is dead?

I have tried charging the battery overnight,
but it still did not start.
(Unfortunately my Ultimate Speed charger
does not give the current passing to the battery.
It just has a LED to say if the battery is fully charged,
which never comes on.)
She could just buy a new battery at Halfords,
but this would be a bit of a waste if it is OK.

Any advice or elucidation gratefully received.
