Remote keyless entry system
The remote keyless entry feature of the seat ibiza allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle by simply pressing of the button on the key fob. However, there are many reasons why it might stop working, such as a dead coin battery or water damage, problems with the receiver module and signal interference. Fortunately, these issues can be easily resolved with a few easy steps.
The most frequent cause of key fobs 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 should still be fine. However, submerging it into seawater or dirty or soapy water could damage the chip inside. In this case you must clean it using a towel and isopropyl alcohol before replacing the battery.
To change the battery, just open the key part and pry up the cover using your thumb or a flat-head screwdriver. Remove the old CR2025 battery and then insert a brand new one with the polarity pointing in the same direction as the old one.
Key fob cannot lock or unlock the doors.
There are a variety of reasons for why you cannot lock or unlock the doors with your key fob. Double check that all doors and the trunk (boot) are shut. Your vehicle will inform you if the doors are open by displaying an indicator light, or by sounding.
Another reason your key fob might not function is because it's experiencing interference. This can happen when other transmitters are close by or you're near objects that block the signal. Try using a spare key to test if this works.
If your key fob has been exposed to water, you should immediately take it off and clean it. This will prevent the chip from corroding and ensure it receives a continuous supply of power. If the battery is defective then you can replace it with a brand new one that has the same voltage and size. Connect the battery terminals and test again the key. This will reset all the on-board electronic components.
Dead coin battery
If your key fob isn't locking or unlocking the doors the most likely reason is a dead battery for your coin. You can fix it in a matter of minutes, and you can find replacement batteries in any auto parts retailer. Replace the battery with a similar one that is the same dimensions, voltage and specifications. It is also recommended to clean any electronic components exposed to the elements using isopropyl alcohol, or an electronic cleaner to prevent water damage. If you expose the chip inside the key of your Seat Ibiza to soapy or salty water, it will be damaged.
If you observe that the key fob is getting progressively less effective in locking or unlocking the doors, it could indicate that the battery is depleted.

Replace the cover, and put the key back in it's place. Then test it to make sure it is working. If it does, replace the defective key and program it to work with your vehicle.
Receiver module that is defective
A defective receiver module inside the seat ibiza keys is an often the cause of key fob problems. This issue can be caused by a variety of factors, including a dead coin battery, signal interference or a damaged electronic chip in the key fob.

If your key fob was exposed to water, you should remove the battery first and clean the electronic component using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. Then, let it dry completely before replacing the battery.
To change the battery on your key fob, flip off the cover and push upwards with either a thumb nail or flat-head screwdriver. After that, you can insert the new battery and ensure that the "+" orientation is facing upwards. When the battery has been replaced then close the compartment for the battery and close the key fob. This usually resolves the problem. If the key fob won't work after you've tried all these solutions, then it may be required to replace it.
