If the range of your Seat flip key has shortened or it is no longer able to operate the central locking mechanism, it is likely that the battery is in need of replacement. Using a thumb nail or a screw driver with a flat head take off the key fob's battery compartment cover (A) and take out the old battery (B).
Battery
The most frequent reason for a key fob to not function is a dead coin battery. It could also be caused due to water damage or interference with the signal or a faulty module. In these cases the OBDII scan tool can be used to see if the remote keyless entry antenna has displayed errors.
If the key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, it may be worth trying the spare one to determine if there are any internal issues that could be affecting the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob prevent it from submerging into water. However submerging it into a pool or in the ocean could damage the electronic components.
To change the battery on your Seat key, you'll require a small screwdriver to break open the cover where the key's part is flipped out of. Once the cover is open and removed, you can remove the upper part using the buttons as well as the lower half containing the battery.
A new CR2025 button cell battery can be easily placed into the slot with the polarity facing upwards. Be aware that incorrect or incompatible batteries can damage the key fob. Make sure you use a battery of the same size and voltage. The key fob will work once the new battery has been put in.
Transponder Chip
A transponder is a small circuit that is integrated into your car keys. It is programmed with a unique code that is matched to the immobiliser system of your car. This makes sure that only the correct key is able to start your vehicle.
Without the chip without the chip, your car will not start. When you turn on your ignition the transponder emits an electronic signal to be received by the immobiliser mechanism of the car. The chip also transmits a code when you push the unlock button on the key fob. If your key has transponder chips, they will require replacement when it's lost.
Most auto dealers will replace keys that are lost by giving you a new key that is transponder-equipped. However it can be costly and time consuming. It is possible to wait for a week or more. In addition the dealer will cost you more than a locksmith who is independent or a car key replacement shop.
Beishir Lock and Security carries a large assortment of Seat remote keys and transponder chips at less than the dealership. If your car's make allows it, you could duplicate the key yourself in stores like AutoZone, Walmart and Home Depot. The only issue with this method is that you will have to tackle the difficulty of programming your own chip.
Key Shell
This is a new key shell to replace your existing remote key. It can be cut to fit your key and it has the same buttons as the old key. It can be cut either blank (uncut) or with a transponder chip in it. It doesn't replace the electronic core. If your key is defective in that area then it will be required to replace the entire key.

Key Fob
It can be frustrating to lose your car keys. It is possible to buy a second-hand key on an auction site. However it will not work since it doesn't contain the transponder chip. Seat key experts will need to program a replacement key for your vehicle.
A key fob is a small device that contains a computer chip, a battery, and a keyshell made of metal. When The Key Lab gets close to a fob reader, the copper coils on both sides of the fob will be energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This power is then sent to the microcomputer in the fob, which then transmits a unique number, which is your identification card.
The key fob then displayed to the reader so that it can be matched with the number in its memory. This method, referred to as "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.
