How to replace the chip on a Mazda 6 key fob

There is an easy method of starting an Mazda 6 keyfob or transponder with a dead battery without having to pay an expert locksmith or dealer. The key fob has an identification code that allows it to communicate with your car's computer. This code is an unique identifier which allows the fob to open your doors and also start the engine. This code is printed on the sticker that is inside your ignition as well as on the backside of the fob that you use to start your car.

Keep this key code somewhere safe in case you need it. You will save time and money. The code will also be on the original Mazda key that came with your vehicle. This code is used to program the key, allowing the car to recognize it as a transponder chip or smart key fob.

Write down the year, model and the make of your Mazda 6 on a piece of paper before you have a new Mazda key made.

It is also necessary to provide proof of ownership (such as the registration, title, or insurance card) for your vehicle.

How to replace the RFID inside a Mazda key fob

Mazda key fobs, referred to as Mazda chip keys or Mazda transponder keys have an anti-theft feature called an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip within the keys. When the button is pressed, the chip emits a unique signal. The signal is read by a device inside the car and then activates it. Even a perfect copy of the key won't start the car without this chip. But what if the chip inside the key fob of your car dies?

If you're lucky enough to still have the metal piece of your key, then you can remove the plastic cover from the fob using a screwdriver or pliers (it could be tight) and remove the chip that was in use. Adhere it to tape, then attach it close to the ignition lock. This will allow you to open the doors and start the engine until you are able to get a replacement chip.
