Transponder Chip Keys
You might require transponder keys to start your car, if it's from the past two decades. This technology is designed to prevent car theft using an electronic signal that only the car's onboard computer detect. The key has a small microchip inside it which is similar to the chips used in military planes. The chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard system using an antenna ring around the ignition cylinder.
The key also has copper wiring connected to the microchip. This wire transmits signals to the car's onboard computer when you turn it in the ignition. The computer responds by allowing the engine to start. If the code is valid it will remain on and the vehicle won't stop or lock.
Certain Mazda keys require programming (transponder keys and remote/fob keys). They can only be programmed by an automotive or car dealer locksmith. Other keys don't require coding. For mazda 3 car key , regular metal keys without a chip aren't required to be programmed.

Every time the keyfob is clicked, a forty-bit code is generated to keep the transmitter and the receiver in sync. The codes are generated by the transmitter and receiver using a pseudo-random generator, so that they do not repeat.
