Transponder Chip Keys It is possible that you require a transponder key to start your car if it's from the last two decades. This technology is designed to stop car theft using an encrypted signal that only the car's onboard computer can decipher. The key is equipped with a tiny microchip inside that is similar to the chips used in military planes. The chip communicates with the vehicle's computer onboard via an oblique cylinder antenna. The key also has a copper wire connected to the microchip. This wire transmits a message to the onboard computer in the car when you turn the key into 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. Certain Mazda keys require programming (transponder and remote/fob key). These keys can only be programmed by a vehicle dealer or automotive technician. Certain keys are not required for programming. For instance, regular keys made of metal without chips aren't required to be programmed. Keys with Keyless Entry System Mazda's Keyless Entry System allows you to open and start your vehicle using just one keyfob. The key fob is equipped with a built-in security chip that sends a signal to the car's electronics that allows it to open the doors and ignition. Some models have an option to push a button that can be used to start the car without a key. Each time the keyfob button 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 to generate the codes to ensure they don't repeat. If you're experiencing issues with your Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, it could be because the fob battery is low or the transmitter inside your car isn't working properly.

This will give you the code needed if you need to get a replacement keyfob.
