Batteries are required for key fobs and have to be replaced frequently. Some fobs have removable covers, making it easy to replace the battery. Others might require a specific tool or assistance from the dealer. A new battery can last for about an entire year, regardless of the type of fob you own.

Flip keys and fobs could be damaged by a variety of sources, such as water, blunt force, circuit board scratches, and excessive heat.

Transponder Chip Keys

You may need a transponder key in order to start your car if it is from the last two decades. This technology is designed to prevent theft of cars by utilizing an encrypted signal that only the car's onboard computer can decipher. The key has a small microchip in it which is similar to the chips used in military planes. The chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard system through a ringed antenna around the ignition cylinder.

The key has copper wiring attached to the microchip. This wire transmits signals to the car's onboard computer when you turn it on the ignition. The computer onboard responds by allowing you start the engine. If the code is valid, the engine will stay on and the car won't stop or lock itself.

Certain Mazda keys require programming (transponder and remote/fob key). They are only programmed by an automotive or car dealer locksmith. Certain keys are not required for programming. For instance, regular keys made of steel without a chip do not need to be programmed.

The key fob contains a security chip that transmits a signal to the car electronics to open doors and ignition. Some models have an option to push a button that can be used to start the car without having a key.

Each time the keyfob is pressed, a 40 bit code is generated to keep the transmitter and receiver in sync. The codes are generated by the transmitter and receiver using a pseudo-random generation system so that they do not repeat.
