Broken Keys
It's not unusual for keys to break after a few years. If your key breaks in the lock, you'll need to replace it. But if the remainder of the key is still in good shape it could be possible to repair it.
A paperclip works well to grasp the broken piece from both sides and force it out. If it's not encased within the lock, you can also try using a pair of pliers. If the key is damaged very close to the lock, you may require an "key extraction" tool that has a bar on it with an elongated barb that is similar to the screw. The bar can be installed into the lock and by twisting it, you can dig the barb into the key to release it.
If you have the right tools, it's difficult to replace the keyboard key. You'll need the key cap (the piece of plastic that covers the switch) Keypad, key cap and key retainer clip.
seat spare key caps have small metal or plastic posts that are located on the underside and fit into small slots on the switch. To replace a cap on a key, carefully remove the internal components of the key, and then note the location of them so you can replace them later.

Fobs not working
It may seem absurd that your key fob requires regular maintenance, however they can cease to function at any time. In some cases, the problem is simple that is caused by dead batteries. If you've changed the batteries but your fob isn't working, it could be the right time to try a different option.
Another reason for the fob to cease working is that the buttons are been worn out. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts send coded signals to the receiver in your car. These messages communicate the action you want the key to do. If these contacts are worn out and damaged, pressing the button might not work or it may send different messages than you wanted to.
One solution to this issue is to make use of a physical key to unlock your
seat car key cover doors or start the engine. You can reset the fob following the instructions in the owner's manual of your car (check online for specific instructions).
If changing the batteries or reprogramming doesn't work, it could be required to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys must be programmed to match your vehicle's specific VIN and some errors or wear-and-tear can cause the programming to be corrupted.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chips in your car key are a very important part of the car key. They transmit the signal using a unique frequency when the key is placed in the ignition, the vehicle's device recognizes the code and is aware that it's you. The engine won't start if the device in the car does not recognize the signal. This is intended as security measure to prevent thieves from wiring vehicles and driving them away.
The chip doesn't contain any batteries and therefore does not require charging or replaced. It has to be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you should bring your keys to a professional locksmith.
Transponder chips come in a variety of forms and the most popular are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks have heads made of plastic that have an opening to accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then placed in the carrier (or sleeve) on the side of the key bow (plastic head). You can see a photo of one of these sleeve holders from the back of a Ford key here. With the help of a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you can remove the sleeve off of a damaged Ford key.
A regular transponder is more expensive due to the chip than a smart or metal key, but cheaper than a fob. The cost of these keys depends on the make and model of your vehicle.
