Remote keyless entry system
The remote keyless entry system of Seat Ibiza is a great feature that lets you lock or unlock your car with just a press of a button on the key fob. However, there are many reasons why it might stop functioning, including a dead battery and water damage, receiver module issues and signal interference. Luckily, these problems are easily fixed with some simple steps.
The most frequent reason for the 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 or light rain it should still be fine. However, submerging it into seawater or dirty or soapy water could cause damage to the chip inside. If this is the case, clean it with a towel and isopropyl alcohol before replacing the battery.
To change the battery inside your key fob, flip the key part of the key open and prise upwards on the cover with your thumb nail or flat-head screwdriver. Take out the old CR2025 battery and replace it with the polarity pointing in the same direction as the old one.

Another reason your key fob won't work is because it's experiencing interference. This could happen if other transmitters are nearby or you're near objects that block the signal. If you're experiencing this issue, try using your spare key to see whether it works.
If your key fob has been exposed to water, you should immediately take it off and clean it. This will stop the chip from corroding and ensure it is always supplied with power. If the battery is damaged, you can replace it with a brand new one that has the same size and voltage. You can then reconnect the battery terminals and test again the key. This will reboot all the electronics that are on board.
Dead coin battery
