Which Mazda Key You Have

Many older Mazda cars have bladed transponder keys, while some of them have remote buttons integrated within the key housing. Newer models of Mazda employ proximity smart fobs used for keyless entry and push button start function, these key fobs communicate with the vehicle to perform their functions, so the correct matching fob has to be programmed into the car beforehand for it to work.

The Fob That Only Works Up Close

One of the first warning signs of the upcoming replacement of a battery in a Mazda key fob may be the significant decrease in the remote control range. If it becomes necessary to stand right next to the car to unlock it, battery change should be considered first, before deciding to replace the fob itself. In case of many push to start Mazda models, even a low powered fob will work in case of necessity by putting it close to the start button and holding it there while starting the engine. However, this is just a safety feature and not a sign of fob failure. Battery replacement is available at any other key service.

Weekend Cars and Keys in a Drawer

Spare keys for cars which are used occasionally can stay unnoticed for many months, or even for many years. It often concerns a second MX-5 Miata or other car that stays parked most of the time. While fob itself seems completely normal, it may have already lost all its power due to aging. Thus, it would be better to check from time to time both key fobs in case the vehicle is not driven often enough.
