that would be a dealer specific program, i think that its the sensor in the car that would have to be reprogrammed to just 1 of the chips that are in the key fob.
Ok So i Watch the whole thing and Good Luck lol!!! They get a Password on the MDZ System and from there you have to reprogram every key with a new code, witch means all remotes now have been swiped clean and start from new. There will be no way for someone to do this. .6hr and your on your way...
I got Mazda yesterday and the guy told me as long as I know the password on the keyfob that came with spare ( its 5 digit pass code carved into metal piece) I should be able to pair any new keys to the car and without it, im SOL.
He said something about pressing the engine on ( keyless) and the unlock and lock button continuously 3 times. I am not sure how much he knows but I think there is some truth to it.

I remember the service tech indicating that the key with the small silver tag had a code on it. Said don't loose it since it gives information necessary for cutting a duplicate key to my specific car. Other wise they can charge more since they have to get inside the door lock to get the code. We all know what Mazda billable hourly rate is $$$.
Does anyone know of a used key can be programmed? You can find those on ebay for >$100. That's cheaper than new but still too much if I'm not sure it will work.
The other thought I had was to clone the RFID in one of the keys, but apparently it has military grade encryption. If I had an RFID to start the car, I could stash a metal key to open the doors on the car and never have to worry about being locked out.
The metal key tag you all refer to is the "key code". Dealers use it to cut the key physical key. Don't matter if you lost the Key Code, since the Dealer can pull your key code from MNAO. To program the fob will require the Mds and dealer authorized access to MNAO.
