If the range of your Seat flip key is reduced or it's no longer operating the central locking, it's likely that the battery needs to be replaced. Remove the key fob compartment cover (A), and remove the old batteries (B) with the flat-headed screwdriver or thumb nail.
Battery
The most common reason for a key fob not to function is a dead coin battery. It could also be caused by water damage, signal interference or a faulty receiver module. In these situations an OBDII scanner can be used to determine if the remote keyless entry antenna displays errors.
If the key fob still not working after replacing the battery, it might be worthwhile to try the spare to rule out any internal issues with the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob will prevent it from submerging in water. However, submerging it in a pool or in the ocean could damage the electronics.
To change the battery in your Seat key, you will need a small screwdriver break open the cover where the key's piece flips out of. Once the cover is opened, you are able to remove the upper section using the buttons, and then the lower half where the battery is located.
Insert a new CR2025 battery into the slot, polarity up. Be aware that incorrect or defective batteries could damage the key fob, so make sure to replace the battery with a replacement with the same voltage, size and specifications. After the new battery has been placed in the slot, the cover will be closed and the key fob will be working again.
Transponder Chip
A transponder is a tiny circuit that is integrated into your car keys. This chip is programmed with an unique code that matches the immobiliser mechanism of your car. This ensures only the correct key is used to start your car.
The car won't start without the chip. The transponder transmits a radio signal to the car's immobiliser when you turn the key into the ignition. The chip also transmits a number when you press the unlock button on the key fob. If your key is equipped with transponder chips, it will need to be replaced when it's lost.
The majority of auto dealers will replace the lost key with one that is new and comes with transponder chips. However it can be expensive and time-consuming. You could have to wait for a week or more. Additionally the dealer could cost you more than a locksmith who is independent or a shop that repairs car keys.
Beishir Lock and Security offers a wide variety of Seat remote keys and chips at a cheaper price than what you would spend at the dealership. If the car's model allows it, you may also duplicate the key yourself at stores such as AutoZone, Walmart and Home Depot. This method has one disadvantage: you have to program your own chip.
Key Shell
This is a key shell replacement for the remote key you have. It can be cut to your key size and comes with the identical buttons. It can be cut in a blank (uncut) or equipped with chip transponders. It doesn't replace the electronic core. If your key has any flaws in this area, then it will still be necessary to have a full replacement key.

Key Fob
Lost keys to your car can be a real pain. You might even be tempted to buy a second-hand key from an online auction site, but this won't start your car since it won't have the transponder chip inside. Seat key specialists will have to program a replacement key to your car.
A key fob is a tiny device that is made up of an electronic chip, a battery and a key shell made of metal. When the fob is placed near an reader and the copper coils on both sides stimulate and convert the radio frequency signal to electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer in the fob. It transmits a unique number that serves as your identity credential.
The key fob will then be displayed to the reader, so that the information stored in the memory can be matched. This method, referred to as "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle to verify that the owner is authorized. Once the reader is matched, they can then start the engine and unlock the doors.
