How can I replace the chip in the Mazda 6 key fob
There's a way to start an Mazda 6 keyfob or transponder key that has a dead battery without having to pay an agent or locksmith. The key fob has an identifier that lets it connect to the computer in your vehicle. This code is an unique identifier that allows the fob to open your doors and start the engine. The code is located on the back of your key fob and is also printed on a sticker that is inside the ignition.
Keep this key code somewhere safe in case you need it. It will save you money and time in the future. Also, if you have the original Mazda key for your vehicle it is likely to have this code on it as well. This code is used to program the key so that the car can recognize it as a transponder chip, or smart key fob.
Note down the year, model and make of your Mazda 6 on a piece paper prior to having a new Mazda key made. This will enable the locksmith or dealer to verify your exact car's year and make so that they can determine if you require a metal key or a smart one, or if he needs remote. Also, you'll need to have proof of ownership of your vehicle (like the title or registration number, or even an insurance card).
How to replace the RFID in a Mazda key fob
Mazda key fobs, also called Mazda transponder or chip keys include an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chip that acts as an anti-theft device. The chip emits a unique signal when the button is moved. This signal is detected by a device inside the car and then activates it. Even a perfect replica of the key won't 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 still have the metal part of your key you can remove the plastic cover of the fob with a screwdriver or pliers (it may be tight) and take out the old chip. Attach it to a piece of tape and then secure it to the ignition lock. This allows you to open the doors and turn on the engine while you wait for an alternative.
