Battery

A dead battery for a coin is the most typical cause of a key fob not working. However, it could be caused by signal interference, water damage or a defective receiver module. In these cases, you can use an OBDII scanner to determine whether the remote antenna for keyless entry displays errors.

If the key fob still not working after replacing the battery, it may be worthwhile to try the spare to determine if there are any internal issues with the chip. The key fob comes with rubber seals to prevent it from being exposed to excessive water, but submerging in the ocean or a pool could damage the electronics.

To change the battery inside your Seat key, you will require a small screwdriver to remove the cover that the key's piece flips out of. Once the cover is opened and removed, you can remove the upper part using the buttons and the lower part that houses the battery.

A new CR2025 button cell battery can be put into the slot with the polarity facing upwards. Be aware that using the wrong or uncompatible batteries could damage the key fob. Make sure you use a battery with the same size and voltage. Once the new battery has been fitted, the cover may be shut and the key fob should be working once more.

Transponder Chip

A transponder is a small circuit which is built into your car key. This chip is programmed using a unique code to match the immobiliser system of your car. This ensures that only a valid key is used to start your vehicle.

Without the chip and the chip is not present, your car will not start. The transponder transmits a radio signal to the car's immobiliser system whenever you turn the key into the ignition. The chip also transmits a code when you push the unlock button on your key fob. If your key has a transponder chip, it will require replacement in the event that it is lost.

Most auto dealerships will replace the lost key with an alternative that has transponder chips. This process can be slow and costly. You may have to wait for up to a week. The dealer can also charge you more than a locksmith or car key replacement shop.

Key Shell

Key Fob

Lost keys to your car can be a real pain. You might be tempted to buy a second-hand key from an auction site, but this won't be able to start your car since it won't have the transponder chip in. You'll need an alternate key programmed into your vehicle by an expert Seat key specialist.

A key fob is a tiny device that is made up of an electronic chip, a battery, and a keyshell made of metal. When it is close to the reader of the fob, the copper coils on both sides of the fob will be energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer inside the fob which transmits an unique number, which is your identity card.

The key fob then displayed to the reader in order that it can be matched to the number stored in its memory. This process is known as "key matching" and is utilized by the security system in the vehicle to verify that you are the legitimate owner of the car. Once matched, the reader can then start the engine and open the doors.
