Lost Keys

The loss of your car keys used to be an inconvenience that was minor. It was relatively inexpensive to replace them in any hardware store, dealer, or locksmith. Your car's top-of-the-line key fob can do much more than lock and start your car. But that convenience comes at costs - more expensive replacements.

The key fob has a security chip built into it that sends a specific code to the car's system to enable you to open and start the engine. The key fob is capable of controlling other features, including closing the windows if you're in a hot spot and summoning your car for easier reverse maneuvers into an awkward spot (a feature available on some Genesis GV60 and Hyundai Sonata sedans).

Fortunately, Mazda's remote fobs aren't as expensive from other automakers. With a little know-how you can replace the battery in your key fob on your own. To do this, you'll need the smallest flathead screwdriver a new CR2025 battery and your key fob. Use the red and the directional buttons to lock and unlock your doors prior to changing the batteries.

If you're looking to save money look for an Mazda 3 keyfob online that is OEM. It doesn't require programming by an authorized locksmith or dealer. eBay has a variety of options but they might not be the exact color of your current key fob.

Lockouts

A driver who is locked out of their car is one of the most traumatic things that can occur. There are some tricks drivers can use to gain access into their vehicle. First, they should try calling the local locksmith or Mazda dealership. This is a good option, as it will likely be less expensive and quicker than calling a truck. The locksmith or dealer will require a key code from the database in order to create a new key fob, which is usually about $100. This is the reason it's essential to keep this code in a safe place.

Another thing people can do when they are stuck outside of their car is to look at the underside of the key fob for an auxiliary button. There is typically an oblong, small button that can be placed and held. This will unlock the doors of the vehicle, allowing the owner to open them by hand.

Another way to gain entry into an unlocked vehicle is using the emergency override feature. This will allow you to use the key fob to override functions that are suspended by the theft deterrent system. This will trigger the warning lights and sound to prove that the doors, lids of the fuel filler or liftgate are closed.

Transponder Chips

You'll have to replace it if the key fob is equipped with an embedded transponder in the head of the L-shaped key. These chips come with a unique identification number that enables your car to start the engine.

The antenna ring emits a blast of radio frequency energy when you insert your key made of metal and switch it on. The energy is then absorbed by the chip's transponder located in the key. The chip responds by sending an encrypted message to the antenna ring. This tells the car that the key is legitimate.

The majority of Mazdas have transponder chips with a rolling code that changes every time you turn it. This means that the key will not work on your vehicle until you have a second copy with the exact same code in the ignition.

It's not hard to make your own replacement key. If you're able find an operational key, put it inside your Mazda and turn the ignition to ON. If the key is able to start your car, you can then copy the information from it to the other key that works. You can also try using the eraser function on your key fob to remove the current code, in the event that it is needed. This method isn't guaranteed to be effective as transponder chips that are recycled may not work correctly.

Programming

Losing your car key can be expensive and time-consuming. Fortunately, Mazda has made it easy to program and add the third key. It's done in a few easy steps, and you won't need to pay a dealer for this service. You will not have to pay for towing or dealership fees if there is an extra car key.

First, you'll need to purchase an extra battery for your key fob. You can purchase one at an hardware store or a big box retailer for around $10. You'll also require a flathead screwdriver in order to open the fob. The screwdriver head should fit into small slots on the side of the fob. After you've removed your case you'll need replace the old battery with a new one.

Now you can program your new key fob. Insert the first key that operates into the ignition and turn it ON. It should take about five seconds before turning the ignition off. Repeat the process with another key that works as well, and then your new (or additional) key. Once you've completed the procedure and your Mazda key copy should now be able to be started with the newly programmed keys. If it doesn't, there may be a problem with the key fob.
