Keyless Remote Key Fob
Certain newer cars come with key fobs that allow you to unlock and open your doors from a distance and also start your engine. Like all other technologies key fobs, they may malfunction from time to time. Fortunately, the majority of key fob issues are not difficult or serious and are easily fixed. Always carry a spare car key to avoid these problems.
Batteries are needed for key fobs, and need to be replaced regularly. Some fobs come with removable covers, which makes it easy to replace the battery. Others may require a specialized tool or assistance from a dealer. A new battery will last for about one year, irrespective of the kind of fob you have. A spare battery can keep you from getting stuck when you get to work in Manhattan, White Plains or elsewhere.
Fobs that feature "flip keys" contain a key which flips out when a button is pressed, and the fob's interior contains buttons to unlock the door or opening the trunk, etc. When not in use, the key can be flipped into a remote. Fobs and flip keys can be prone to damage from a variety of sources, such as water, blunt force, circuit board scratches, and excessive heat.
Transponder Chip Keys
You might require an transponder key to begin your car if it's older than two decades. This technology can prevent car theft by using a code that can only be read by the car's computer. The key is fitted with a tiny microchip in it that is similar to the chips used in military aircraft. The chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard systems via an antenna that is ringed around the ignition cylinder.
The key also has copper wiring attached to the microchip. This wire sends a message to the onboard computer in the car when you turn the key in the ignition. The computer responds by allowing the engine to start. If the code is valid, the engine will stay on and the car will not shut off or lock itself.
Some Mazda keys require programming (transponder and remote/fob key). These keys can only be programmed by a vehicle dealer or automotive technician. Other keys do not require coding. For instance, regular metal keys without a chip don't require to be programmed.
Keys with Keyless Entry System
Mazda's Keyless Entry system allows you to unlock your door and start your car with one keyfob. The key fob contains a security chip that sends a signal to car electronics to turn on doors and ignition. Certain models come with buttons that can be used to start the car with no key.
Every time the keyfob gets hit, a 40-bit code is generated to keep the transmitter and the receiver in sync. The receiver and the transmitter use a pseudo-random number generator generate the codes so that they do not repeat.
If you are having problems with your Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry system, it may be that the transmitter in the car is malfunctioning or the battery inside the fob isn't fully charged. If the issue persists, bring the key fob to Holiday Mazda in Fond du Lac, WI, to have a technician take a look. Bring a spare remote to use while you wait for your Mazda dealer. Also, take off the plate connected to the key set and put it in a secure place (not in your vehicle). This gives you the code number that's needed should you need to get a replacement keyfob.

The keyless remote control works with your Mazda when you have the standard keyless entry. It can unlock doors as well as start the vehicle. It also works with the factory KEY LOCK. The remote must be professionally programmed by an auto locksmith after it arrives (click here to access Locksmith Search). It is an aftermarket key fob, therefore there's no Mazda logo on it.
The keys operate the door locks, the liftgate lock, and the lid for the fuel-filler (if equipped) as well as turn on your vehicle's engine and activate the theft-deterrent feature if your vehicle is so equipped. The hazard light and/or warning beeps will signal a malfunction. For more information, please contact your Mazda Authorized Dealer.
It is vital not to leave your children unsupervised when you use the key as they might be able to operate controls or even make the vehicle move. Also, the battery in the key will need to be replaced at least once per year. This is shown by the KEY warning indicator in the instrument cluster or the KEY Battery Replace Warning beep.
