Battery
A dead coin battery is the most common reason of a key fob that is not working. However, it could also be caused by signal interference, water damage or a faulty receiver module. In these instances an OBDII scanner can be used to see whether the remote keyless entry antenna is showing errors.
If the key fob does not work after replacing the battery it is worth trying a different battery to rule out any issues with the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob stop it from submerging in water. However, submerging it in a pool or ocean can damage the electronics.

Transponder Chip
A transponder is a small circuit that is embedded into your car keys. This chip is programmed with an unique code that matches the immobiliser mechanism of your car. This ensures that only the right key can be used to start your vehicle.
Your car will not start without the chip. The transponder transmits radio signals to the car's immobiliser system whenever you switch the key in the ignition. The chip also transmits a code when you activate the unlock button of your key fob. If you lose your transponder keys, it needs to be replaced.
Most auto dealers will replace keys that are lost by giving you a new key that is transponder-equipped. However the process can be expensive and time-consuming. You may have to wait for up to a week. The dealer can also cost more than a locksmith or car key replacement shop.

Key Fob
Misplacing your car keys can be a real hassle. You may even be tempted to purchase a second-hand key from an auction site, but it won't start your car since it won't contain the transponder chip. You will need to get an alternative key programmed to your vehicle by a certified Seat key specialist.
A key fob is a device made up of a computer chip and an aluminum shell. When it comes close to an reader on the fob, copper coils on both sides of the fob get energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. The power then flows to the microcomputer in the fob, and it transmits an unique number that acts as your identity card.
The key fob is then displayed to the reader in order that it can be matched to the number stored in its memory. This method, referred to as "key-matching" is utilized by the security system of the vehicle to ensure that the owner is authorized. Once the keys match then the reader will be capable of starting the car and unlock the doors.
