How to Fix Seat Ibiza Key Problems
Seat's plans for a turnaround are based on the smaller Ibiza that accounted for 52 per cent of Seat's sales in 2017. It has been given a facelift and updated features to help it gain even more buyers.

Remote keyless entry system
The remote keyless entry system in Seat Ibiza is an amazing feature that allows you to lock or unlock your car with just a press of one button on the key fob. There are a variety of reasons that it may not be working, such as a dead coin battery or water damage, receiver module issues and signal interference. These problems can be fixed by following a couple of simple steps.
The most common reason for a key fob not locking or unlocking is a dead coin battery, which can be replaced in just a few minutes. If the key fob was exposed to clean tap water or light rain, it is probably still fine, but submerging it in seawater or soapy water can be harmful to the chip inside. In this case you should wash it using a towel and isopropyl alcohol before replacing the battery.
To change the battery inside your key fob simply flip the key piece of the key open and then push upwards on the cover with your thumb nail or flat-head screwdriver. Take out the old CR2025 battery and replace it with a new one, with the polarity pointing in the same direction as the old battery.
Key fob not locking or unlocking the doors
If you're unable or unlock your doors using your key fob, it could be due to many reasons. In the first place, make sure that all the doors and trunk (boot) are shut. Your car will let you know when the doors are open by flashing an indicator light, or by making a sound.
Another reason your key fob isn't working is because it's experiencing interference. This could occur when other transmitters are close by or if you're close to objects that block the signal. Try using an additional key to determine if this works.
If you have exposed your key fob to water, remove the battery immediately and clean it. This will stop the chip from corroding, and ensure it is always supplied with power. If the battery is defective, you can replace it with one that is of the same dimensions and voltage. Then, reconnect the battery to the terminals and test the key again. This will reset all on-board electronic components.
Dead coin battery

The chip in your Seat Ibiza key will be damaged if it's exposed salt or soapy water.
