If the range of your Seat flip key has diminished or it is no longer able to operate 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. However, it could also be caused by water damage, signal interference or a malfunctioning receiver module. In these instances OBDII scan tools can be used to see whether the remote keyless entry antenna is displaying errors.
If seat spare key is still not working after replacing the battery, it could be worthwhile to try the spare to determine if there are any internal issues with the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob will prevent it from being submerged in water. However submerging it in water pool or ocean can harm the electronic components.
To change the battery in your Seat key, you will need a small screwdriver break open the cover where the key part flips out of. Once it is open, you can remove the upper part with buttons and then remove the lower portion where the battery is.
Insert a new CR2025 battery into the slot, with polarity upwards. Be aware that using the wrong or uncompatible batteries could damage the key fob. Be sure to use a battery with the same size and voltage. The key fob should now be working again after the new battery has been installed.
Transponder Chip
A transponder chip is an electronic circuit which is built into your car key. This chip is programmed with a unique code that is matched to the immobiliser system in your car. This ensures that only the correct key can start your vehicle.
Without the chip without the chip, your car won't start. When you turn the ignition on, the transponder sends an audio signal that is received by the immobiliser system in the car. The chip transmits a number also when you press the unlocking button on the key fob. If your key is equipped with a transponder chip, it must be replaced when it's lost.
Most auto dealers will replace your keys that are lost by giving you a new key with a transponder. However, the process can be expensive and time-consuming. You could be waiting for a week or more. In addition the dealer will charge more than an independent locksmith or a key replacement shop for cars.

If your car's manufacturer allows it, you can duplicate the key yourself at stores like AutoZone, Walmart and Home Depot. This method has one disadvantage: you have to program your own chip.

Key Fob
It can be frustrating to lose your car keys. It is possible to buy a used key from an auction site. However, this will not work as it does not contain the transponder chip. Seat key specialists will need to program a replacement key for your vehicle.
A key fob is a small device that houses an electronic chip, a battery, and a key shell made of metal. When the fob is placed near an open reader the copper coils on both sides of it stimulate and convert the radio frequency signal into electricity. The energy is then transmitted to the microcomputer within the fob that transmits a unique number, which is your identity card.
The key fob then shown to the reader so that it can be matched to the number in its memory. This process is referred to as "key matching" and is used by the vehicle's security system to verify that you are the owner of the car. Once the reader has been matched, he can then start the engine and open the doors.
