If your Seat flip key's range has diminished or it's not operating the central locking anymore it is possible that the battery needs to be changed. Remove the key fob compartment cover (A), and take out the old batteries (B) with an screwdriver with a flat head or a thumb nail.

Battery


The most common reason for the key fob to not function is a dead coin battery. It could also be caused by signal interference, water damage or a faulty receiver module. In these instances it is possible to use an OBDII scanner tool to check whether the remote antenna for keyless entry has errors.

If the key fob does not work after replacing the battery, it is worth trying a different battery to eliminate any issues with the chip. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals to prevent it from being exposed to excessive water, however, submerging it in the ocean or in a pool could cause damage to the electronics.

You'll need a small flathead screwdriver to pry open the cover that houses the key. Once the cover is open you can take out the upper and lower half using the buttons and the lower portion that holds the battery.

A brand new CR2025 button cell battery can be easily inserted into the slot with the side facing upwards. Be aware that incorrect or incompatible batteries can damage the key fob. Make sure you use a battery with the same size and voltage. After the new battery has been fitted, the cover may be closed and the key fob will 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 makes sure that only the correct key will be able to start your car.

Your car will not start without the chip. When you switch on the ignition the transponder emits an electronic signal to be received by the immobiliser system in the car. The chip also transmits a keycode when you hit the unlock button on the key fob. If you lose your transponder key it must be replaced.

Most auto dealers will replace your lost key with an alternative that has the transponder chip. However, the process can be expensive and time-consuming. You may have to wait for several weeks or more. In addition the dealer will cost more than an independent locksmith or a key replacement shop for cars.

Beishir Lock and Security carries many different Seat remote keys and transponder chips at less than the dealership. If  G28  allows it, you may also duplicate the key yourself in stores like AutoZone, Walmart and Home Depot. This method has one disadvantage that you must program 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 is cut blank (uncut) or with a transponder chip inside it. The electronic core isn't replaced. If your key has any defects and you are in need of a replacement, get a new key.

Key Fob

It can be frustrating to lose your car keys. You might be tempted to purchase a used key from an online auction site, however this won't be able to start your car since it does not contain the transponder chip. You'll need an alternative key programmed to your vehicle by a certified Seat key specialist.

A key fob is a tiny device that is made up of a computer chip, battery, as well as a key shell made of steel. When the fob is near a reader the copper coils on both sides of it are energized and transform the radio frequency signal to electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer in the fob that transmits a unique number, which is your identification credential.

The key fob will be shown to the reader so that the information stored in the memory can be compared. This process, also known as "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle to verify that the owner is authorized. Once the reader is matched, they can then start the engine, and then open the doors.
