Fortunately the majority of key fob problems aren't complicated or serious and can be resolved easily. One of the best ways to prevent these issues from catching you by surprise is to always carry an extra key. Key fobs require batteries, which must be replaced regularly. Some fobs have removable covers that make it simple to swap out the battery, while others require a specific tool or dealership assistance. A new battery is expected to last for a minimum of an entire year, regardless of the type of fob you own. A spare battery can keep you from getting stuck in the middle of your commute in Manhattan, White Plains or other places. The “flip key” fobs have the flip-out key that pops out when you press a button. The fob also comes with buttons to unlock the trunk, open the door and so on.

Fobs and flip keys can be susceptible to damage from various sources, including blunt force, water and scratches on the circuit board and excessive heat. Transponder Chip Keys If you own a car dating back to the last two years or so, chances are that it requires the use of a transponder chip to start. This technology is designed to stop theft of cars by utilizing a signal that only the car's computer onboard can discern. The key contains the same microchip used in military aircraft. The chip communicates with the vehicle's computer onboard via a ringed cylinder antenna. The key also has a copper wire attached to the microchip. This wire transmits a signal to the onboard computer of the car when you turn the key in the ignition. The computer on board 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 an auto dealer or automotive technician. Certain keys are not required for programming. Other keys don't require coding. Keys with Keyless Entry System Mazda's Keyless Entry System allows you to unlock and start your vehicle with just one keyfob. The key fob features a security chip built into it that sends a signal to the car's electronic system to trigger the doors and ignition. Certain models come with the option of a push button which can be used to start the car even without a key. To keep the receiver and transmitter fully synchronized, a code of 40 bits is generated every time the keyfob button is hit. The codes are generated by the transmitter and receiver using a pseudo-random generator so that they do not repeat.
