The chip communicates with the vehicle's onboard systems via an antenna ringed around the ignition cylinder. The key is wired with copper that is connected to the microchip. It's this wire which transmits signals to the car's onboard computer when you turn on the ignition. The computer on board responds by permitting the engine to start. If the code is valid, it remains on and the car won't stop or lock itself. Certain Mazda keys require programming (transponder and remote/fob key). These keys can only be programmed by a vehicle dealer or automotive technician. Other keys don't require programming. Other keys do not require the use of code.
