How much does a mazda key fob cost

My keys were lost or stolen. Can Mazda USA send me a new key at no charge?

For your safety and security, Mazda encourages you to work with your local Mazda Dealer or your insurance company in the case of misplaced or stolen keys.

Key fob


Lost the remote entry key fob/flip key, went to dealer to have it replaced. Cost
was $150 to get the key re-programmed, and the remote part of the key (comes
in two parts - the actual key, which must have the chip in the short
part of the fob with the Mazda logo, and the remote part) was an add'l $300 not including labor!
Have searched the usual areas (ebay, etc.) but have not found a cheaper replacement. Has anyone
else had any luck using an MPV flip key as a replacement (06's are avail.
on ebay with programming)? I am outraged this is going to cost so much,
people lose keys often enough that the cost should not be so high. To his
credit, the service manager was equally angry at the cost and tried to
find a valet key so I didn't have a half-key, but no luck.

RE: Key fob


I would like an outlet for this too. My wife was mugged 3 weeks ago and the SOB got all of her keys. We share one now because although the dealer offered to replace it at cost I was told it would be $197 for the 2 parts of the key and $60 to program!!!!!

I am wondering if the crook was the thief or Mazda with their key price. HELP!

RE: Key fob


There's a guy on Ebay selling keyfobs for the Mazda5 --

Mazda5 keyless entry remote - Ebay item: 220023033089

The "buy it now" price is $80, and the ad indicates it can be programmed at home. For an extra $30 the seller will cut and code it for you. I haven't bought anything from (so can't vouch for) this seller, but the deal beats the hell out of Mazda's price. The seller's feedback rating is 98%. Worth a try.

Hope this helps -- all the best.

I bought one from that seller on ebay. I'm happy with the transaction. The instructions are a little confusing but I got the key programmed to my car. The trick is to do the steps very quickly.

Jim- Can I get directions for programing the key and key fob? I just bought a used 06 and it only came with 1 key... I have a friend who works for a non-Mazda dealership and was able to order the key and fob, but they can't program it, they said I would have to go to Mazda.

Thanks,

Pearl5

RE: Key fob


Sorry, I threw out the instructions. But I might remember how to program it. Try this: Get in the car. Close the door. Insert the key in the ignition. Push the lock or unlock buttons once. Turn the ignition to on without starting the engine five times FAST. Hit the lock button. The car should respond. That's what I remember. If it doesn't work, your non-Mazda buddy should get you the instructions if he can get the key. If not, you might want to try the ebay guy, worth a shot.

We have an 08 and replaced the batteries in both remotes once. Cost was less than $10, very cheap, and easy to replace, but strange that yours are only lasting 6 months or so... can't imagine why. You don't keep your keys in the freezer do you? ;-)
