The Mazda 3 Key Fob has a button that enables the driver to lock or unlock the car and trigger other functions without a key. The Key Fob unit contains the following components: a radio transmitter with a short range and a microchip that sends a signal when a button is pressed. The coded signal sent by the button is decoded by the receiver, which carries out the command selected. The electronics of these devices use a rolling code that generates a unique encrypted sequence each time a vehicle's doors are opened. It generates billions of different codes, making it highly unlikely to duplicate the transmission signal. A standard version comes in a small black box. The 3 buttons on it lock, unlock, or sound your horn or alarm. All configurations have this. Some configurations have an alternate 5-button version. That version gets separate trunk and remote engine start buttons. Both configurations operate within a fifteen to sixty foot range, though the actual range may change due to interference or vehicle programming. The Mazda Key Fob contains an internal battery that must be operational, and it must be programmed correctly to communicate with your vehicle. If the battery is dead, the casing is damaged, or the fob is unsynchronized, the transmitter will not be able to activate the receiver. Replacing the Key Fob battery routinely after 3 to 4 years of use can help it deliver a good signal. Each Mazda production model recognizes just its personal encrypted code, so another fob sitting in a nearby parking lot will not accidentally unlock a Mazda or disrupt system operations. Re-pairing is easier if one fails, so owners usually carry two programmed units.
