If it is just the key, i think you can have it duplicated at a normal shop, but the duplicate with the remote lock will cost you, and can only be done by dealer as far as i can tell.

check with abdullah ahli, they will give you the right directions.

Which key did you get with the car?

I am not sure about the 147, but most Alfa's are issued with a master key which can be used to make copies. In the older versions, it is a maroon coloured key. Things may have changed but I had only the master key for my 155, and I also did not want to lose it....so I bought programmable keys from eBay and had them cut and copied at a locksmith in Satwa. I paid AED70 per key and AED140 to copy/cut both of them.

I posted some discussion on another thread...will look it up for you.

There is no master key on the 147

You need a new key and to then get that coded to the car.

Probably only your concessionaire has the right program to do this.


Check out the 147/156 lounge as this topic is raised all the time.
