Keyless Remote Control Fob
Many newer cars have key fobs that permit you to open and close the car's doors, as well as start the engine. But, as with any technology, these can occasionally fail. Fortunately that the majority of key fob problems aren't complicated or threatening and can be resolved easily. One of the best ways to prevent problems from catching you off guard is to always carry a spare key.
Batteries are necessary for key fobs, and they have to be replaced frequently. Some fobs have removable covers that make it easy to replace the battery, while others may need a special tool or dealer assistance. A new battery can last for about a year, regardless of the type of fob you own. A spare battery can save you from being stranded on the way to work in Manhattan, White Plains or elsewhere.
The "flip key" fobs come with the flip-out key that pops out when you press a button. The fob also comes with buttons to unlock the trunk, open the door and more. When not in use the key can be flipped into the remote. Flip keys and fobs can be prone to damage from various sources, such as water, blunt force, circuit board scratches, and excessive heat.
Transponder Chip Keys
If you own a car that was manufactured in the last two decades or so, the chances are that it requires a transponder chip key to start. This technology prevents car theft by using an encryption code that must be read by the car's computer. The key has an electronic chip similar to those used in military aircraft. The chip communicates with a vehicle's onboard computer system using an antenna that is a ringed cylinder.
The key is wired with copper that is connected to the microchip. This wire transmits an electrical signal to the onboard computer of the car when you turn on the ignition. The computer responds by allowing you to start the engine. If the code is valid it will stay on and the vehicle will not shut off or lock.
Some Mazda keys require programming (transponder keys and remote/fob keys). These keys can only be programmed by a car dealer or automotive technician. Certain keys don't require coding. For instance, regular metal keys without a chip do not need to be programmed.
Keys for Keyless Entry Systems
Mazda's Keyless Entry System allows you to unlock and start your vehicle with only one keyfob. The key fob comes with a security chip built into it that transmits a signal the car's electronics to turn on the doors and ignition. Some models even come with the option of a keyless push button that can start the engine.
Every time the keyfob is activated,
