Battery
A dead coin battery is the most common cause of a key fob that is not working. However, it could be caused by signal interference, water damage or a faulty receiver module. In these situations, an OBDII scan tool can be used to determine if the remote keyless entry antenna displays errors.
If the key fob doesn't work after replacing the battery, it is worth trying a spare to identify any issues with the chip. The key fob has rubber seals to prevent it from being exposed to too much water, but submerging in the ocean or in a pool could cause damage to the electronics.
To replace the battery in your Seat key, you'll require a small screwdriver to prise open the cover where the key's component flips out of. After the cover has been opened you can take out the upper portion using buttons and the lower part that houses the battery.
Install a brand new CR2025 battery into the slot, turning it to the right side. Be aware that defective or unsuitable batteries may damage the key fob, so be sure to replace the battery with a replacement with the same voltage, size, and specification. Once the new battery is installed, the cover can be closed and the key fob should be functioning properly.
Transponder Chip
A transponder is an electronic circuit that is embedded into your car keys. The chip is unique in code that is programmed to match the vehicle's immobiliser system. This ensures that only a valid key can be used to start your vehicle.
Your car won't start without the chip. When you switch on the ignition the transponder transmits an audio signal that is received by the immobiliser system in the car. The chip also transmits a code when you press the unlock button on your key fob. If your key has transponder chip, it will require replacement when it's lost.
The majority of auto dealers will replace your lost key with a new one that includes a transponder chip. However it can be costly and time consuming. You may even have to wait for a week or more. In addition the dealer will cost more than an independent locksmith or a car key replacement shop.

A key fob is a device that is made up of a computer chip and a metal shell. When the fob is placed near a reader it's copper coils on both sides of it stimulate and convert the radio frequency signal into electricity. This power is then sent to the microcomputer within the fob, which then transmits a unique number that serves as your identity card.
The key fob is displayed to the reader so that it can be matched with the number in its memory. This process, commonly referred to "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle to ensure that the owner is authorized. After being matched, the reader can then start the engine and unlock the doors.
