Dead Coin Battery
If your key fob has stopped working but you're not in a position to reprogram it using an entirely new code, the most likely reason is a dead battery in the coin. It is possible to replace the battery yourself within a matter of ten minutes.
Start by opening the key by removing the rings made of metal. There's a clip-on lid that you can open with your nail. The old battery will be removed via the hole in the middle. Note: Changing the battery in a wrong manner or using the wrong battery could cause damage to the remote key. Replace the battery using the same size, voltage, and specification as the original.
If your key fob was submerged in water, you might also need to clean the chip prior to replacing the battery. This is especially true if it was dropped in the sea or in soapy water. This should be taken care of immediately, as exposure to water may damage the electronic chip and cause your key fob to cease working.
Worn Buttons
Seat Ibiza keys stop working most often because the battery is dead. This is easy to fix and only takes a few minutes. The key fob will also stop working if the buttons have worn out. This is also a simple fix, and requires you to swap the old keyshell for a new one.

This happens most often when you accidentally drop your key fob into the pool or leave it in the rain. If your key fob still isn't working after replacing it or reprogramming it, the receiver module could be defective.
Water Damage
The key fob is fitted with rubber seals to stop water reaching the electronic chip inside. It is not enough to stop the occasional splash. If your fob has survived a wash cycle, or a swim in the ocean it may have damaged the chip.
This can be fixed by taking the battery off and cleaning the chip using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner. After drying, let it dry before placing it back. If the chip is damaged it is necessary to replace it with a brand new one.
If your key fob still isn't working after changing the battery and reprogramming, then it could be due to a issue with the receiver module. This is the part of the car that receives the signals from the keyfob, and then sends the signals to the key ignition system. If G28 have a spare key fob you can test it. Central locking should be activated and the ignition system light should be lit. If this does not happen and the receiver is not working, then it may be faulty. This is a costly fix, but it can be done by a professional in your local garage.
Radio Interference
The receiver module in your key could cause interference. Seat parts can provide the replacement key that features a new receiver.
To replace the battery, take off the key and gently lift the cover of the key fob's battery compartment using your thumb or a flat-headed screwdriver. Remove the old CR2025 and replace it with a new battery, ensuring that the polarity is in the right place. You can also use a standard key that has the transponder chip which was transferred from the damaged or worn key. This can be coded, and cut to fit your car as needed.
Faulty Receiver Module
The receiver module on your key fob is what transmits radio signals to the car. The module could be in trouble if the fob stops functioning. You can determine this with an OBDII scanner tool, or by contacting your dealer.
Other devices that use the same frequency can interfere with the remote keyless entry system. This can include mobile phones, electrical devices and even some household appliances.

If the key fob is submerged in soapy or salt water or is placed on a wet floor for long periods of time, this is most likely to result in damage and is likely to need replacing.
To change the battery, you can use small screwdrivers with flat heads or a fingernail to pry open the compartment for button cell batteries (B). Remove the old battery and then insert the new CR2025, making sure the "+" polarity of the battery is directed upwards.
