How can I replace the chip in the Mazda 6 key fob
If you have a Mazda 6 key fob or transponder flip keys with a dead battery, there is an easy way to start it up without paying for the services of a locksmith or dealer. The key fob comes with an identification code which allows it to communicate with the computer in your car. This code is an unique identifier which lets the fob unlock your doors and start the engine. The code is located on the back of your key fob and can also be found on a label inside the ignition.
Keep this code secure in case you require it. You will save money and time. Also, if you've got the original Mazda key for your car, it will probably have this code on it as well. This code is used to program the key and allow the car to recognize it as a transponder chip, or smart key fob.
Write down the year, model and year of your Mazda 6 on a piece paper prior to having a new Mazda key made. This will let the locksmith or dealer confirm your exact year, model and model, so they can determine whether you require a transponder chip, smart remote or regular key. Additionally, you'll require proof of ownership of your vehicle (like the title or registration number, or even an insurance card).

Mazda key fobs, referred to as Mazda chip keys or Mazda transponder keys come with an anti-theft system called an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip within the keys. When the button is pressed the chip emits a unique signal. This signal is received by a receiver in the car, which activates it. Even a perfectly-replicated copy of the key won't start the car without this chip. But what happens if the chip in the key fob of your car dies?
If you have your metal key, you may remove the cover with a screwdriver (it may be difficult) or pliers and take out the old chip. Adhere it to tape, then attach it close to the ignition lock. This will allow you to open the doors and turn the engine while waiting for an alternative.
