About Seat & Cupra Key Systems — MQB, KESSY Proximity & VW Group

Seat and Cupra vehicles are built on Volkswagen Group MQB platform, sharing key architecture with VW, Audi, and Skoda. Lee's VW Group SERMI accreditation covers Seat and Cupra entirely — the same advanced diagnostic equipment, the same manufacturer security access.

Seat's KESSY (Keyless Entry Start Stop Yes) proximity system — standard on Leon FR, Arona Xperience, Ateca FR, and Tarraco Xcellence — requires encrypted fob coding via the MQB immobiliser module. On post-2019 Seat and Cupra models, SERMI certification is required for manufacturer immobiliser access.

Lee programmes all Seat and Cupra key types on-site across Salford, Ordsall, Weaste, and all of Greater Manchester. More information at seat.co.uk ↗ and sermi.eu ↗.
