    Not sure exactly what you mean......

    The remote is not used to start the car, only to lock/unlock the doors (and engage/disengage the alarm, at the same time).

    Once inside, the engine must be started with the key.

    Your car originally came with a few (3?) remotes. The most important of these is the RED remote. This is the "template remote" that a dealer can use to create new ones for you...otherwise, you are in for a relatively expensive surprise if you lose it and need another copy.....

    Now, if your talking about a remote car starter, then disregard the above...but, unfortunately, I cannot help you with that......

    Without the flob, you must know your PIN for the car. It is a 4 digit number. The dealership should have given it to you when you purchased the car. If not, you are SOL. They are not allowed to give them out anymore and Ferrari of NA will not.
    I know mine. You put the key in and turn it so many times, pause, again, for four times. Then it will start without the flob.

    Good Luck and I hope you have the red flob. If not, well, open your check book.
