If the range of your Seat flip key has diminished or it is no longer able to operate the central locking mechanism, it is likely that the battery needs changing. Remove the key fob compartment cover (A) and then remove the old batteries (B) by using either a flat-headed screwdriver, or a thumb nail.
Battery
The most frequent reason for a key fob to not work is a dead battery. It could be due to water damage, interference with the signal or an inoperative module. In these cases you can utilize an OBDII scanner to determine whether the remote antenna that is used for keyless entry displays errors.
If the key fob doesn't work after replacing the battery, it is worth trying a different battery to rule out any issues with the chip. The key fob comes with rubber seals that prevent it from being exposed to too much water, however, submerging it in an ocean or pool could damage the electronics.
To change the battery in your Seat key, you'll require a small screwdriver to remove the cover that the key's part is flipped out of. Once it is open, you can take off the upper portion using the buttons and the lower half where the battery is located.
A brand new CR2025 button cell battery can be easily fitted into the slot, with the opposite side facing upwards. Be aware that improper or non-approved batteries can damage the key fob, so be sure to replace the battery with a new one that is the same voltage, dimensions and specifications. Once the new battery is installed, the cover can be closed and the key fob will be working once more.
Transponder Chip
A transponder is an electronic circuit that is integrated into your car keys. The chip is unique in code that is programmed to match the car's immobiliser system. This ensures that only a valid key can be used to start your car.
Without the chip and the chip is not present, your car will not start. The transponder transmits an audio signal to the car's immobiliser when you switch the key in the ignition. The chip also transmits an unlock code when you activate the unlock button of the key fob. If you have lost your transponder, it has to be replaced.
Most auto dealerships will replace your key with new keys that include the transponder chip. However the process could be expensive and time-consuming. It is possible wait for several weeks or more. The dealer will also charge you more than a locksmith or car key replacement shop.

If the car's model allows it, you can duplicate the key yourself at stores like AutoZone, Walmart and Home Depot. This method comes with one drawback: you have to program your own chip.
Key Shell
This is a new key shell for your remote key. It can be cut to fit your key and it has the identical buttons as your previous key. It can be cut blank (uncut) or equipped with chip transponders. It is not a replacement for the electronic core. If your key is defective in that area, then it will be required to get a replacement key.

Key Fob

A key fob is a device that is made up of a computer chip and a metal shell. When the fob is in proximity to an reader, the copper coils located on both sides of it stimulate and convert the radio frequency signal to electricity. This power then flows to the microcomputer on the fob, which then transmits a unique number that acts as your identification credential.
The key fob will then be displayed to the reader, so that the information stored in the memory can be compared. G28CarKeys , referred to as "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle in order to verify that the owner is authorized. Once the reader has been matched, he can then start the engine, and then open the doors.
