The Mazda smart key, and how we set one up.
The extra button is the difference between this shell and its three-button sibling. Mazda 3 smart keys from 2010 to 2013 came in two layouts, and the four-button one adds a trunk or hatch release to lock, unlock and panic. A board from a four-button key will only fit and work in a four-button case, so count before you order. This is a housing without electronics. It makes sense when the electronics are fine but the case has given up, which on these fobs usually means a split seam, a missing battery cover or rubber buttons torn by keys rubbing against them on the ring. Your original board moves into the new shell and keeps its programming, so the car will recognise it straight away. The shell includes an uncut auxiliary blade. We cut it to your lock and, if you like, do the board swap for you at our counter. If the old fob no longer works electronically, or has been lost entirely, a shell cannot fix that and a complete four-button smart key is needed. Ask us to confirm the fit by bringing in your old key.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 4 model years, 2010 to 2013, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- This is the case only. Your existing circuit board, battery and chip move across, so it does not need programming to the car.

Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.
Do I need the car there?
For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
Can you erase a lost key?
Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
