If the range of your Seat flip key has decreased or it's not operating the central locking, it is likely that the battery needs changing.

Battery

A dead coin battery is the most common cause of a key fob that is not working. It could also be due to water damage, interference with the signal or the module is defective. In these cases, an OBDII scan tool can be used to see whether the remote keyless entry antenna displays errors.

If the key fob isn't working after replacing the battery it is worth trying a replacement to rule out any issues with the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob will prevent it from submerging into water. However, submerging it in a pool or ocean can harm the electronic components.

To change the battery in your Seat key, you'll require a small screwdriver in order to prise open the cover where the key's piece flips out from. After the cover has been opened you can take out the upper half with the buttons and the lower half that contains the battery.

A brand new CR2025 button cell battery is easily placed into the slot with the opposite side facing upwards. Be aware that using the wrong or incompatible batteries can damage the key fob. Make sure you use a battery with the same size and voltage. Once the new battery is inserted, the cover can be closed and the key fob should be working once more.

Transponder Chip

A transponder is a small circuit that is embedded into your car keys. It is programmed with a unique code to match the immobiliser system of your car. This ensures that only the right key can be used to start your car.

The car won't start without the chip. When you turn the ignition on, the transponder sends an electronic signal to be received by the immobiliser system of the car. The chip also transmits a code when you press the unlock button on your key fob. If you lose your transponder key, it needs to be replaced.

Most auto dealers will replace keys that are lost by giving you a new key with a transponder. However it can be costly and time consuming. You could be waiting a week or longer. In addition the dealer will charge more than an independent locksmith or a car key replacement shop.

The loss of your car keys can be a major hassle. It is possible to purchase a used key from an auction website. However it will not work since it doesn't contain the transponder chip. Seat key specialists will have to program a replacement key for your vehicle.

A key fob is a device that consists of a computer chip and an aluminum shell. When the fob is in proximity to an electronic reader and the copper coils on both sides energize and turn the radio frequency signal into electricity. The power then flows to the microcomputer in the fob, and it transmits a unique number that acts as your identity credential.

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 is referred to as "key matching" and is utilized by the vehicle's security system to verify that you're the legitimate owner of the car. After being matched, the reader can then begin the engine and open the doors.
