Transponder Keys

Keyless Entry Remotes

A Mazda key fob is a small remote that emits an electronic code which is then verified by the car's computer system to allow entry and start the engine. This technology is intended to stop thieves from hacking into the system with a device known as an "code grabber" which reads the unique code that the key fob emits. Smart keys are available as an option or as part of the tech bundle on higher trim levels. These keys are not cheap to replace, and changing and reprogramming them requires you to visit the dealer and provide proof of ownership.

Luckily, some locksmiths will provide a replacement, but you may have to pay more for the service than what you'd spend at the dealership. You can also look into an aftermarket replacement for your Mazda key fob, which will be less expensive than purchasing a replacement from a dealership, but will not be as reliable.

To open the Mazda key fob, you must remove the key made of metal and use a tape-wrapped flathead screwdriver to pry apart the case on either side. After removing the two covers, you are able to remove the battery from the key fob. You can then reinstall the battery and then replace your cover. You should also write down the code number inscribed on the metal plate that is on the key set and keep it in a safe place in case you have to replace your Mazda replacement key again.

Key Fobs

Today's modern car keys and fobs can do more than just unlock or start a car. They also offer a range of extra convenience features, like the ability to roll down your windows or summon the car by pressing a single button. They are also a great anti-theft device. All that technology means they are expensive to replace in the event of damage or loss. The days of having your keys cut by an ordinary locksmith are gone, and getting an updated fob from a dealer can cost you hundreds of dollars.

Some keys have built-in security chips that communicate with the car's electronic system to verify that the owner is authorized to access and start the car. These are commonly referred to as smart keys and are more expensive than traditional keys that have transponders built in. Dealership quotes for replacing smart keys range from $200 to $500.

If your Mazda key fob battery fails in the future, you should be able to replace it with an extra button cell battery purchased at a hardware store or big-box retailer. You can also find step by step instructions on YouTube. The owner's manual will detail how to open your fob's case. Be cautious not to force it open and damage the case or its internal components.
