How do you replace the chip in a Mazda 6 key fob If you own a Mazda 6 key fob or transponder key with an unresponsive battery, there is an easy way to start it up without having to pay the services of an expert locksmith or dealer. The key fob has an identifier which allows it to communicate with the computer in your car. This code is an individual identifier for the fob, which allows it to unlock doors and even start your car. This code is printed on the sticker inside your ignition as well as on the backside of your key fob. Keep this key code somewhere safe in case you need it. You will save time and money. Also, if you own the original Mazda key for your car it is likely to have this code on it as well. This code is used to program the key and allows the car to recognize it as a genuine transponder chip or smart key fob. Write down the year, model and year of your Mazda 6 on a piece of paper before you have a new Mazda key made. This will help the locksmith or dealer determine the exact year, make and model, so that they will know if you require a transponder chip, smart remote or regular metal key. Also, you will require proof of ownership of your vehicle (like the title or registration card, or the insurance policy). How to replace the RFID chip inside a Mazda 6 key fob Mazda key fobs, also referred to as Mazda transponder keys or chip key come with an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chip that acts as an anti-theft device. The chip emits a distinct signal when the button is hit. This signal is detected by a receiver in the car, and activates it. Without G28 Car Keys , even a flawless copy of the key will not start it. But what if the chip inside your car's key fob dies? If you're fortunate enough to still have the metal component of your key, then you can take off the plastic cover of the fob with either pliers or a screwdriver (it could be tight) and take out the chip. Attach it to a piece of tape and then secure it to the ignition lock. This will allow you to open the doors and turn on the engine while you wait for an alternative.
