If you own a vehicle from the past two years or so, chances are that it will require the use of a transponder chip to start. This technology is designed to stop theft of cars by utilizing an electronic signal that only the car's computer onboard can discern. The key is fitted with a tiny microchip inside of it which is similar to the chips used in military planes. The chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard system using a ringed antenna around the ignition cylinder.
The key is wired with copper connected to the microchip. It's this wire that transmits an electronic signal to the onboard computer of the car when you turn it in the ignition. The computer on board responds by allowing the engine to start. If the code is valid, it remains on and the car will not shut itself off or lock itself.
Certain Mazda keys need programming (transponder and remote/fob key). These keys can only be programmed by a car dealer or automotive technician. Other keys do not require coding. Other keys don't require any kind of code.
Keys for Keyless Entry Systems
Mazda's Keyless Entry System allows you to open and start your vehicle with just one keyfob. The key fob has an embedded security chip that sends a signal to the car's electronics to turn on the doors and ignition. Some models even come with an unlocked key to start the engine.
