How do you replace the chip on the Mazda 6 key fob
If you have a Mazda 6 key fob or transponder flip keys with an unresponsive battery, there is an easy method to get it running without the need to pay for the services of locksmiths or dealers. The key fob contains an identifier that lets it communicate with the computer inside your vehicle. This code acts as an individual identifier for the fob and allows it to open doors and even start your vehicle. This code is printed on the sticker that is inside your ignition and on the back of your key fob.
Be sure to save this key code in a safe location if you ever need it. It will save you time and money in the future. Also, if you have the original Mazda key for your vehicle, it will probably have this code as well. This code is used to program the key and allow the car to identify it as an authentic transponder chip key or smart key fob.
Note down the year, model and year of your Mazda 6 on a piece of paper prior to having a new Mazda key made. This will help the locksmith or dealer determine the exact year, year of manufacture and model, so they can determine whether you require a transponder chip, smart remote, or regular metal key. Also, you'll require proof of ownership of your vehicle (like the title or registration card, or the insurance policy).
How can I replace the RFID chip a Mazda 6 key fob
Mazda key fobs, referred to as Mazda chip keys or Mazda transponder keys have an anti-theft technology called an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip inside the keys. When the button is pressed, the chip emits a unique signal. This signal is detected by a receiver inside the car, which then activates it. Without this chip, even a perfect duplicate of the key will not start it. What if the key fob chip inside your vehicle fails?
If you're fortunate enough to have the metal part of your key, then you can take off the plastic cover from the fob using an pliers or screwdriver (it might be tight) and take out the chip that was in use. Attach it to the ignition lock by gluing it to a tape. This will allow you to open the doors and start the engine until you have a new chip.
