How to Get a Replacement Mazda Key

Transponder Chip Keys

If your vehicle was built in the last 20 years or so, there is probably an embedded transponder chip in the plastic key head. Although it might appear to be an insignificant piece of hardware however, it's a vitally important component of the car's security system as it prevents theft by preventing thieves from starting your vehicle.

Except for a few cars that don't have these keys, the majority of modern vehicles have them. They are more secure than the traditional keys made of metal because they stop an experienced and determined car thief using a hotwire or other method to begin the vehicle.

Get the key code from your owner's manual or dealership and employ a small screwdriver break open the fob's case.

Keyless Entry Keys

Keyless entry is an excellent alternative, but it could also go wrong as with any other piece of equipment or car accessory.
