Remote keyless entry system
The remote keyless entry system in seat ibiza is a fantastic feature that allows you to lock or unlock your car with just a press of a button on your key fob. There are a number of reasons that the system might not work, such as a dead battery or water damage, or signal interference. These problems can be easily fixed with a few simple steps.
The most common cause of key fobs not locking or unlocking is a dead coin battery which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. If the key fob was exposed to clean tap water or light rain, it's likely to be in good shape, but submerging it in seawater or soapy water could harm the chip inside. In this case you should wash it with a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol prior to replacing the battery.
To replace the battery, you must open the key part and pry off the cover with your thumb or a flat-head screwdriver. Take out the old CR2025 battery and insert a new one with the polarity pointing in the same direction as the old one.

Interference is another reason that your key fob won't function. This could occur if other transmitters are nearby, or if you're near objects that block the signal. If you're experiencing this problem Try using your spare key to see whether it works.
If your key fob was exposed to water, you should immediately remove the battery and clean it. This will prevent corrosion on the chip's electronic component and ensure it has a constant supply of power. If the battery has a problem, you can replace it with a new one that has the same voltage and size. Connect the battery terminals and test again the key. This will restart all the onboard electronics.
Dead coin battery
A dead coin battery is the most likely cause if your key fob won't lock or unlock the doors. You can fix it in a matter minutes and can locate replacement batteries at any auto parts store. Make sure to replace the battery with one that's identical in size, voltage, and specification. Also, clean any electronic components exposed to the elements with isopropyl alcohol or electronics cleaner to avoid water damage. The chip inside your Seat Ibiza key will be fried if it's exposed to salt or soapy water.

If the key fob won't work even after you have tried all the solutions above It could be necessary to replace it.
