How do I replace the chip in a Mazda 6 key fob
There's a method to turn on an Mazda 6 keyfob or transponder keys that has a dead battery without the expense of a locksmith or dealer. The key fob contains an identifier which allows it to communicate with your car's computer. This code is an identification number unique to the fob and allows it to open doors and allow you to start your car. This code is printed on the sticker inside your ignition and on the backside of your key fob.
Keep this key code somewhere secure in case you require it. You'll save money and time. If you also have the original Mazda key for your car it is likely to have this code as well. This information is used to programme the key, allowing the car to recognize it as a transponder chip or smart key fob.

Additionally, you'll need to have proof of ownership for your vehicle (like the title or registration number, or even an insurance card).

Mazda key fobs, also called Mazda transponder keys, also known as chip keys, have an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chip that acts as an anti-theft device.

Without this chip, even a perfect replica of the key won't start it. What if the key fob chip in your vehicle breaks down?
If you're lucky enough to still have the metal portion of your key, then you can remove the plastic cover from the fob using a screwdriver or pliers (it could be a bit tight) and remove the chip that was in use. Attach it to the ignition lock by gluing it onto some tape. This will allow you to open the doors and turn on the engine while waiting for the replacement.
