Keyless Remote Control Fob Many modern cars have key fobs that allow you to remotely open and close the car's doors as well as start the engine. However, like any other piece of technology, these may malfunction from time to time. Fortunately that the majority of key fob problems aren't complicated or serious and can be easily resolved. Always have a spare car keys to avoid issues. Key fobs need batteries, which must be replaced regularly. Some fobs have removable covers that allow you to swap out the battery, whereas others might require a special tool or dealer assistance. A new battery will last for about one year, irrespective of the kind of fob you have. A spare battery can ensure that you are not stranded in the middle of your commute in Manhattan, White Plains or elsewhere. The “flip key” fobs come with a key that can be flipped out when you press the button. The fob also comes with buttons to unlock the door, open the trunk and so on. When not in use the key can be turned into a remote. Flip keys and fobs could be prone to damage from many sources, including water, blunt force, circuit board scratches, and excessive heat. Transponder Chip Keys You may require transponder keys to start your car if it's older than two decades. This technology helps prevent theft of cars by using an encrypted code that can only be deciphered by the car's computer. The key contains a tiny microchip inside it that's similar to those used in military aircraft. The chip connects to a vehicle's onboard computer system via an antenna with a ringed design. The key has copper wiring that is connected to the microchip. It's this wire that sends signals to the onboard computer of the car when you turn it on the ignition. The computer responds by allowing you start the engine. If the code is valid, it will stay on and the vehicle will not shut off or lock. Some Mazda keys need programming (transponder and remote/fob keys). These keys can only be programmed by a vehicle dealer or automotive technician. Other keys aren't required to be programmed. For instance, regular keys made of metal without chips do not require being programmed. Keys for Keyless Entry Systems Mazda's Keyless Entry system allows you to unlock your door and start your car using just a single keyfob. The key fob is equipped with an embedded security chip that sends a signal to the car's electronics to turn on the doors and ignition. Some models even have a push button with a key that allows you to start the engine. Each time the keyfob is clicked, a forty-bit code is generated to keep the transmitter and receiver in sync. The receiver and transmitter utilize a pseudo-random number generator generate the codes to ensure they don't repeat. If you are having problems with your Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry system, it may be that the transmitter in the car isn't working properly or that the battery inside the fob is low.

If you have a spare electronic key, bring that with you to use it while you wait for your Mazda dealer to resolve the issue. Separate the plate from the key set and store it in a secure location (not in your vehicle). This will give you the code you need to change your keyfob.
