Keyless Remote Control Fob

Many newer cars have key fobs that permit you to remotely open and lock the car's doors and even start the engine. As with all technologies, they can malfunction occasionally. Fortunately, most problems that occur with key fobs do not seem complex or serious and are often easily resolved. One of the best ways to prevent these issues from catching you unaware is to always have an extra key.

Key fobs require batteries that need to be replaced regularly. Some fobs come with removable covers, which makes it easy to replace the battery. Others might require a particular tool or dealer assistance. Whatever key fob you own and the type of battery you have, a new one should last for a minimum of one year. A spare battery can ensure that you are not stranded on the way to work in Manhattan, White Plains or elsewhere.

The "flip key" fobs have a flip-out key that comes out when you press the button. The fob also has buttons to unlock the door, open the trunk, etc. When not in use the key can be turned into the remote. Flip-keys as well as fobs can be damaged by a number of things, such as water and force blunt. Circuit board scratches and excessive heat can also cause damage.

Transponder Chip Keys

You may require transponder keys to start your car, if it's from the past two decades. This technology is designed to stop car theft by using a signal that only the car's onboard computer can detect. The key contains a tiny microchip inside of it that's similar to the chips used in military aircraft. The chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard system through an antenna that is ringed around the ignition cylinder.

The key also has a copper wire connected to the microchip. It's this wire that sends a signal to the onboard computer of the car when you turn the key in the ignition. The onboard computer then responds by allowing the engine to begin. If the code is valid it will stay on and the car won't shut off or lock.

Some Mazda keys require programming (transponder and remote/fob keys). These are only programmed by a car dealer or automotive locksmith. Other keys do not require coding. Other keys don't require coding.
