Wow!! Thank you so much!! I've only had my vehicle for 3 years and NEVER knew you could actually lock doors by just clicking the button again. **Side Note: My second fob recently broke and the dealership told me would cost $380 for replacement ($195 for programming). I was able to locate a brand new fob online for $49 and a locksmith to program for $50-$60.
I really like the way you've explained the Smart Key features. There is also one last feature with the Smart Key. If and when you approach the vehicle on the passenger side with the Smart Key, all four doors unlock when the black button is pressed.
Also to add, it's a 2014 Mazda 3 Skyactive I bought used freon a dealership. Another addition.... thanks for the truck button under trunk lid. Didn't know it was there.
Thanks! This got hubby's customers car off the hoist....that was a tricky one 🙃 I wished they'd quit "engineering" this nonsense into newer vehicles. I was happier with a $5 key and the odd theft 🤷♀️
You used the key to get in the door but then the fob to start it. What about when you use the key to start it, how do you get the key back out of the ignition? I have just been called by my father asking me this on his new 2016 Mazda and came on here to research for him. Your clip was the best so far but it still didn't answer my question. Once you put the key in the ignition, how do you get it out?
I am not 100% sure but you might want to try holding down the unlock button for a few seconds with the doors unlocked. That's what does it for Toyota and Lexus vehicles - might just work for Mazda!
Thanks, but you didn't explain how the fob goes into sleep mode, where you can't turn the ignition on and have to take the key apart to insert it. How do you fix that?
Question on security; Can someone outside the car open a locked door while you are inside the car by also pushing the handle button? In other words, does the Smart Key "know" if the driver is inside/outside the car?
I have a 2013 Mazda 3 lately when I use my fob to lock does not lock I have to go to unlock press it and after that I go to lock and it will lock another thing yesterday as I was walking away from the car the locks went crazy and my lights in the back of car blinking til I was far and stopped today my car battery was a little drained what are your thoughts? Bad fob or bad battery in fob or bad car battery? I don’t think is my car battery I just got that battery from the dealership not even a year ago. Also I noticed today that the light on fob was blinking like crazy RED! what can it be? Have never done that🤦🏼♀️ I’m already thinking about the price of a new fob 😢 here in Florida
Can you deactivate your fob key signal so car can’t get stolen? As I see a lot of late model cars are being stolen that have fob keys. Otherwise have a small aluminium tin which I use to put my keys into
My question is what if the key remote goes completely dead. How do i start my car with only the key??? Is there a special place to insert the key at all???
Hi, can you tell me, how it sound when we lock the doors from the outside with one key inside ? When i lock the doors, it beep nearly 10 sec.. And i don't know if my second key is inside or not, cause i lose it..
I have the sport trim. When I walk away with the car started I can’t lock it. The car simply won’t lock when you get far away and try to lock it. Is there a way to do this? I like to start my car and let it cool off cause it’s hot outside but I don’t want to leave it unattended and unlocked
You didnt mention what to do if your car sits for a year because of the pandemic and even with a battery replace on the FOBs, it still doesnt respond. Maybe they have to be reprogrammed? At this point, all I can do is manually unlock the doors, let the alarm go off, and then start and drive away.
That FOB should use a CR2025 battery, which is pretty common and should be available anywhere with a decent selection of batteries (Target, Walmart, etc.). When you remove the auxiliary key there is a slot on either side of the key dock that you pry with a flat edge or coin to pop the remote open. After that it should be pretty obvious how you replace the battery. And you shouldn't be stranded, because you can still start the car by holding the remote next to the start button. Unless you have a different model that might require you to use the key to start the car (in which case, consult your user manual). Mazda has at least 3 different keyless systems, but there is always a way to start the car with a dead remote. My MX-5 has a knob on the steering column that you pull out and there is a normal ignition key lock behind it (there are buttons on either side of the knob to release it). Other models have a key slot behind a cover that you put the key into before pushing the start button.
Thanks for info. Video very helpful if you know what question to ask when your car doesn't start. I know now. Going to keep an extra battery in my purse. Thanks again.
Only thing he doesn’t say is if your batter is dead on your car you can’t use the key in the fob to unlock your car you’re pretty much SOL and have to call a tow company to unlock your door with a slim Jim.
Put your foot on the brake it the key battery is low? - that's weird, you'd think it'd be the clutch it'd make you push in, if any pedal (I didn't see any flappy paddles, so this doesn't look like an automatic...). I'd a Skoda Octavia as a rental recently which had keyless entry and that forced you to push in the clutch while pressing the engine start button before it'd start, while pushing in the clutch while starting is seemingly a requirement in several "normal" cars, such as old Saabs (which forced you to leave them in reverse to take the key out of the ignition) and some new Citroens. Meanwhile, don't get me started on these damn new electronic handbrakes as the Octavia had! 🤔😯😂
How is the car doing so far, I am in the market for a used one with under 40k , my previous car was a accord 2010 and with would use it mostly with 2 kids onboard 7yr and 10yr old..what are your thoughts so far on reliability and feel?...thanks
@Rob: Compared to Nissan, Audi and BMW Mazda 6 has superb space on the rear seats! Ideal for family. I always envy the space when I have to drive with co-workers and have to be on the back seat (as on has BMW, one has Audi and one has Nissan Quashquai).
The only problem with that stupid design for the push starter is with my car. as soon as you pull the phob away from the dash it starts beeping and shuts itself off. Always keep extra batteries in your car. I've been screwed over by this.
I've been having problems with my key fob that I replaced 2 years ago. Even with the key fob in the car and I step out..... the car sensor beeps signaling that fob is outside? Weird. It's a brand new battery. And @ times it doesn't register the fob after depressing the clutch to start the car. Not green key kit on dash. Push start button only flashes green. 🤔🤔
this is alright but you are wrong about the way it works if battery is dead. the car actually sends out power to the key fob to detect it and make it work. it is kinda like wireless charging just to give power to work to detect it
3 ปีที่แล้ว
KamikazeSOF2: "If the battery is completely dead (or removed, as I tested it), then you press the bottom of the key fob to the the start button and it will work via RFID/NFC. It's passive RFID, so it only needs the power from the vehicle."
As long as u have the key fob u don't need to press the button on door the handle have sensor put ur hand on handle the door will automatically open driver door
I got a Mazda 6 2015 Year with any possible extra and today i realize that if I press and hold the unlock button the windows not going down like my previous cars even 10 Years ago. Somebody know how to resolve this and this Car have this key feature or Not???? Very disappointed after this happening with me today....🤔🤔🤔
I am afraid my Mazda 6 has this issue too. I have tried double-click and hold (which was told to be the correct choice to open the windows) but did not work. For my part, opening the window is not an important function.

Thanks for the hidden key knowledge! Dealer didn't even tell me about that!
@Morgan Rylan it need to pay for the access code tho
@@jowynng3910 Morgan Rylan and Aries Sylas working together to trick people into this. Saw this trick on another YT video already. be careful.
Can you tell me anything about the little special key cuz I have one and I can't get it out of its little container
Thank you I just bought a used 2017 Mazda 6 and I had no idea about how some of these buttons worked on the doors.... Thanks again
Just started my car using the last 2 mins of this vid. Thanks dawg!
Very helpful about to get my Mazda 6 sport 2016 in 2 days or so and this was really helpful especially the hidden key when the keyless goes dead
Great video, seriously considering getting my own Mazda 6 very soon so I'm doing some research.
Thank you for the positive feedback and I am glad I could help you!
Great video. Learned another thing about the fob. Thanks
Also to add, it's a 2014 Mazda 3 Skyactive I bought used freon a dealership. Another addition.... thanks for the truck button under trunk lid. Didn't know it was there.
You are most welcome! And thank you for contributing to the conversation, my friend!
Thanks
Welcome!!
Nice narration. Thanks!
Thinks for the smart key guide my dealer didint go though all the details of it since I bought mines a almost 6 months ago.
You are most welcome. Glad I could help!!
Love my Mazda Axela it’s a 2014 hatchback 💖
Thanks! This got hubby's customers car off the hoist....that was a tricky one 🙃

Great video.
Thank you very much.!!!👍
Absolutely! Glad to help
thank you , great lessons
You are welcome, my friend! Glad i could help!
The shine on that vehicle is something else. Is that a special finish or just lots of elbow grease.
That's just alot of elbow grease. Also, Mazda does an amazing job with their paint. Have you seen the deep red Mazda has?? Amazing!
Thank you so much for this video!!
You’re most welcome!

Does it have global window open ?
Hi do you know if is possibile to open and close the windows with the key?
I am not 100% sure but you might want to try holding down the unlock button for a few seconds with the doors unlocked. That's what does it for Toyota and Lexus vehicles - might just work for Mazda!
my german car had this to allow hot air out before entry
When I unlock my doors I don’t get that “beep beep” sound. Why is that?
You can even start the engine without a battery in the remote control, checked it last week on mn 2014 m3, when I had to change the battery
Thank you very much!!!
How do you lock your car from the inside? I can’t find the buttons anywhere
It's on the door, directly above the window controls.
Nice informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

@@HowToCarGuy You were! I got this car the last year. Greetings from Costa Rica!
thank you
Umm you know how to work the remote start in the 2014 cx9.. it came with the same fob here and a smaller one that had 1 button on it
Can you deactivate your fob key signal so car can’t get stolen? As I see a lot of late model cars are being stolen that have fob keys. Otherwise have a small aluminium tin which I use to put my keys into
is there any way to make it lock/unlock the car while its running with the fob instead of the keyblade???
My question is what if the key remote goes completely dead. How do i start my car with only the key??? Is there a special place to insert the key at all???
It will still work as shown even if the battery is dead. At least the Toyota system works this way. I would assume Mazda as well.
You need to push the engine start button with your key(the end with Mazda logo)
Hi, can you tell me, how it sound when we lock the doors from the outside with one key inside ?
When i lock the doors, it beep nearly 10 sec.. And i don't know if my second key is inside or not, cause i lose it..

I NEED ANSWERSSSSSSSS !!
Yes me too how to Lock started car from outside?
You have to lock it manually with the key
You haven't said as your can lock the car if you leave further then 3 meters away.
Don’t forget to mention walk away lock in Mazda. Ta
You didnt mention what to do if your car sits for a year because of the pandemic and even with a battery replace on the FOBs, it still doesnt respond. Maybe they have to be reprogrammed? At this point, all I can do is manually unlock the doors, let the alarm go off, and then start and drive away.
Where do you put the actual key?
The metal key will be used to unlock the exterior on the driver's door and the trunk.
How about telling us where you get a fob battery, And how often you should replace? As I am now stranded with car only being a year old.
That FOB should use a CR2025 battery, which is pretty common and should be available anywhere with a decent selection of batteries (Target, Walmart, etc.). When you remove the auxiliary key there is a slot on either side of the key dock that you pry with a flat edge or coin to pop the remote open. After that it should be pretty obvious how you replace the battery.

If you lock the car manually as in the old fashion way. Can you lock the car without setting the Alarm ?
Looking an answer to this too.
Push the lock button on the interior of the door and shut it?
Only thing he doesn’t say is if your batter is dead on your car you can’t use the key in the fob to unlock your car you’re pretty much SOL and have to call a tow company to unlock your door with a slim Jim.
Can you not use the mazda app on phone to unlock in emergency?
Are you saying the metal key tumbler doesn't have a mechanical linkage to unlock the door?
Put your foot on the brake it the key battery is low? - that's weird, you'd think it'd be the clutch it'd make you push in, if any pedal (I didn't see any flappy paddles, so this doesn't look like an automatic...).

Rob Whiff The car gets amazing gas mileage GT. Gets 40 to 42 mpg at 60 mph. Bought ours in 2014. No problems mechanically.
Rob Whiff great car. Only problem i had was the bose speaker went out it is a common problem.

When I double tap unlock and then double tap lock very quickly it starts my car
I have a 2015 mazda 3
The only problem with that stupid design for the push starter is with my car. as soon as you pull the phob away from the dash it starts beeping and shuts itself off.
Always keep extra batteries in your car. I've been screwed over by this.
0:11 Why you got a Nissan key? lmao
You caught me! I was actually filming a Nissan that day and happened to have it still in my hand! Good eye!
@@HowToCarGuy I knew it! I had an Altima before before my 3. Loved that fob. Still prefer that fob over the Mazda.
How do you turn off the proximity function for a person that just wants to use the buttons?
Now if only we had remote start for manuals
Agreed!
I've been having problems with my key fob that I replaced 2 years ago. Even with the key fob in the car and I step out..... the car sensor beeps signaling that fob is outside? Weird.

Should we all it stupid key or nanny key? Overengineered cars IMHO
It's great to be able to enter your car during inclement weather with a dead fob or 12v battery.
Well, if you can't figure out this stuff about the fob, you shouldn't be driving.
