Lockouts One of the most devastating things that can happen to a driver is being locked out of their car. There are, however, a few tricks that drivers can apply to get back into their vehicle. First, they should consider calling their local locksmith or Mazda dealership. This is a good option, as it will likely be less expensive and quicker than calling a tow-truck. The locksmith or dealer will require a key code from the database in order to cut you an additional key fob, which is usually around $100. It is important to ensure the security of this code. If you are stuck outside your car, one of the things you can do is search for an auxiliary button on the bottom. There is typically an oblong, small button that can be press and held. This will unlock the doors to the vehicle and allow the driver to open them by hand. The emergency override function can be another method of gaining access to a locked car. This allows the key fob's device to bypass functions that are not controlled by the theft-deterrent system. This will activate the hazard lights and sound to confirm that the doors, lids for the fuel filler or liftgate have been shut. Transponder Chips You'll need to replace it if the key fob is equipped with a transponder that is built into the metal head of the L-shaped key. These chips contain an identification code that can be used to start your vehicle. When you insert your key and then turn it to ON, the antenna ring emits an impulsive radio frequency energy that gets to the transponder chip that's in the key's metal. The chip responds by sending an encoded message to the antenna ring. This informs the car that the key is in good condition. The majority of Mazdas are equipped with transponder chips equipped with an evolving code that changes each time you turn it. This means that your key will not function with your vehicle until you have a copy with the exact same code in the ignition. Fortunately, it's not impossible to create your own replacement keys. If you're able find a working key, place it into your Mazda and turn the ignition to ON. If the key starts your car, you'll then be able to copy the information from it to the other key that works. You can also try the eraser process on your key fob to remove the current code, if needed. This method isn't guaranteed to be effective, as some transponder chips recycled might not function correctly. Programming Losing your car keys is an expensive and lengthy process. Fortunately, Mazda has made it easy to add and program a third key. This can be done in a couple of steps and you won't have to pay a dealer for this service. If you have a spare car key, this is the best way to avoid having to pay for towing or dealership fees. You'll first need to purchase new batteries for the key fob. You can buy one at an hardware store or a big box retailers for around $10. You'll also need an open-ended screwdriver that is flat to open the fob. The screwdriver's tip should fit in a small slot or a space on the back of the fob. After you've removed your case you'll have to replace the old battery with the new one. Now you can program your new key fob. To do this, insert the first working key into the ignition, and then turn it ON. After about five seconds, and then switch off the ignition. Repeat the process with another key that is working before switching to your new (or extra) key. Once you've done this and the key that you have programmed should be capable of starting your Mazda. If it's not, there could be a problem with the key fob.
