How do I replace the microchip in a Mazda key fob

If you have a Mazda 6 key fob or transponder flip keys with a dead battery, there's an easy way to get it running without paying for the services of a locksmith or dealer. The key fob comes with a code that allows it to connect with the computer in your car. This code is an unique identifier that allows the fob to open your doors and turn on the engine. This code is printed on the sticker that is inside your ignition and on the reverse of the fob that you use to start your car.

Keep this code in a safe location in case you ever need it. It will save you time and money in the future. If you also have the original Mazda key for your vehicle it is likely to have this code as well. This code is used to program the key and allow the car to identify it as a genuine transponder chip or smart key fob.

Write down the year, model and year of your Mazda 6 on a piece of paper prior to getting a new Mazda key made. This will help the locksmith or dealer confirm your exact year, make and model so that they can determine whether you require a transponder chip, smart remote or regular key.

Mazda key fobs, also called Mazda transponder keys or chip keys come with an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chip that functions as an anti-theft device.

Even a perfectly-replicated copy of the key cannot start the car without this chip. But what if the chip in the key fob for your car breaks?

If you're fortunate enough to have the metal component of your key you can remove the plastic cover of the fob with a screwdriver or pliers (it could be a bit tight) and take out the chip. Attach it to the ignition lock by gluing it to some tape. This should allow you to open the doors and start the engine until you have a new chip.
