If your Seat flip key's range is decreasing or it isn't operating the central locking anymore the battery might need to be changed. Remove the key fob compartment cover (A) and remove the old batteries (B) using either a flat-headed screwdriver, or a thumb nail.
Battery
A dead battery for a coin is the most typical cause of a key fob not working. However, it can also be caused by water damage, signal interference or a malfunctioning receiver module. In these cases, you can use an OBDII scanner tool to check whether the remote antenna for keyless entry is displaying errors.
If the key fob still doesn't work after replacing the battery, it is worth attempting a spare to identify any issues with the chip. The key fob comes with rubber seals that prevent it from being exposed to excessive water, however, submerging it in the ocean or in a pool could cause damage to the electronics.
You will need a small flathead screwdriver to remove the cover that houses the key. When the cover is opened you can take out the upper half with the buttons as well as the lower portion that holds the battery.
Install a brand new CR2025 battery into the slot, polarity up. Please note that the wrong or incompatible batteries can damage the key fob. Be sure to use a battery of the same size and voltage. Once the new battery is inserted, the cover can be closed and the key fob will be functioning properly.
Transponder Chip
Transponders are a small circuit that is embedded into your car keys. This chip has a unique code that is programmed to match the vehicle's immobiliser system. This guarantees that only the correct key can start your vehicle.
Your car will not start without the chip. When you switch on the ignition the transponder sends out the radio signal which is received by the immobiliser mechanism of the car. The chip also transmits an unlock code when you press the unlock button on your key fob. If your key is equipped with transponder chips, it will require replacement in the event that it is lost.
Most auto dealerships will replace the lost key with one that is new and comes with an transponder chip. However the process can be expensive and time-consuming. You could have to wait for a week or more. Additionally, the dealer will charge you more than a locksmith who is independent or an auto key replacement shop.
Beishir Lock and Security carries a large assortment of Seat remote keys and transponder chips for less than the cost at the dealership. You can also copy a key yourself at stores like AutoZone, Walmart, and Home Depot if the make of your car allows it. The only drawback with this method is that you have to tackle the difficulty of programming your own chip.
Key Shell
This is a replacement keyshell for your remote key. It can be cut to fit your key and it has the same buttons as the old one. It can be cut blank (uncut) or with a chip transponder. The electronic core cannot be replaced. If the key you have is defective, you will need to get a new key.

Key Fob
It can be very frustrating to lose your car keys. It is possible to buy a used key from an auction site, but this will not start your car since it does not have the transponder chip in. Seat key experts will need to program a new key for your vehicle.
A key fob is a small device that has an electronic chip, a battery as well as a key shell made of steel. If the fob is located near a reader the copper coils on both sides are energized and transform the radio frequency signal to electricity. This power then flows to the microcomputer in the fob, which then transmits an unique number that acts as your identity card.
The key fob then displayed to the reader in order that it can be matched with the number that is stored in its memory. This process, also known as "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle to confirm that the owner is authorized. Once the keys match to the reader, they will be capable of starting the car and unlock the doors.
