Keyless Remote Control Fob Certain newer cars come with key fobs, which allow you to open and lock your doors from a distance as well as start your engine. But, as with any technology, these can fail from time to time. Thankfully, most issues with key fobs don't have to be complex or serious and are usually easily resolved. One of the best ways to stop these issues from catching you out is to always carry an extra key. Batteries are necessary for key fobs and have to be replaced regularly. Some fobs are equipped with removable covers, which makes it easy to replace the battery. Others might require a particular tool or assistance from the dealer. A new battery can last for a minimum of an entire year, regardless of the type of fob you own. A spare battery will aid in avoiding the stress of getting stranded in the middle of your way to work in Manhattan or White Plains. Fobs with “flip keys” contain a key which flips out when the button is pressed and the fob also has buttons for unlocking the door, opening the trunk, etc. The key can be reversed back into the remote when not in use. Flip-keys and fobs are damaged by a number of things, including water and sharp force. Circuit board scratches and excessive heat can also cause damage. Transponder Chip Keys If you own a car from the last two decades or so, chances are it needs a transponder chip key to start. This technology stops car theft by using the code that can only be read by the car's computer. The key is equipped with a tiny microchip in it that's similar to those used in military aircraft. The chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard system using an antenna ringed around the ignition cylinder. The key also has a copper wire attached to the microchip. It's this wire which transmits signals to the onboard computer of the car when you turn on the ignition. The onboard computer then responds by allowing the engine's to start. If the code is valid, it will stay on and the vehicle will not shut off or lock. Certain Mazda keys need programming (transponder and remote/fob key). These keys can only be programmed by a vehicle dealer or automotive technician. Other keys don't require programming. Other keys don't require any kind of code. Keys for Keyless Entry Systems Mazda's Keyless Entry System allows you to unlock and start your vehicle with just one keyfob. The key fob is equipped with a built-in security chip which sends a signal the car's electronics to turn on the doors and ignition. Some models have buttons that can be used to start the car even without a key. To keep the transmitter and receiver synchronized, a 40-bit code is generated each time the keyfob button is pressed. The receiver and the transmitter use a pseudo-random number generator to generate the codes to ensure they don't repeat. If you're experiencing issues with your Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, it could be because the fob battery is low or the transmitter in the car isn't working properly.
