Does this key contain a microchip? Will the key (not the buttons) work without having the dealer program it?

I spent a lot of money to get that key programmed. The dealer said he was not able to keep it closed and when he put the key in the ignition and tried to turn it the key would fall apart every time. The dealer told me that the best thing for me to do is return the key. I just want a key that works and will not fall apart when I try to start my vehicle.

You can look for a the way to program it throw the web, but you'll need a pair of working keys. If you don't have the extra keys, will need for a dealer to program it.

no, it didn't; mazda dealer warned me it might not and it didn't; wasted time and money having them try to program it; not sure if the Dealer was on the level, or why this key couldn't be programmed, but it didn't work out for me

It comes with a little bmw sticker that you stick on yourself. This is a hollow key with no electronics inside.

No! I took it a lock to a lock smith and he try to program the keys but they were not programmable. Also I took the keys to the Ford dealer wanted $300 but I think he just wanted to put in a new switch.

in my opinion and that's way too much just to program the key, he's probably sore that he's not getting the sale from the key as well. I would check around at a few other dealers and see if anybody will program it for cheaper for you. In my case it was the same dealer, that i leased my vehicle from charged me only 70-80 dollars to have the key programmed I think in total for the key and programming at my local dealer I ended up paying around 128 to 130 and that also included to have the key cut. Just a word of advice that the key isn't cut exactly like it is out on normal key shop they use these jagged edges looks like stairs almost to do a rough outline of your key so it's not the greatest but it does work

The key with a chip in it can be made by a locksmith but the key fob/remote can only be programed at a Jeep dealer.

This itme is just a Empty key shell with uncut blade, you need to cut it in your local locksmith, take the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip) from original remote and place them to our key shell, then it is OK! There's no programming needed

Many of the keys sold on amazon have the transponder chip in them. You have to read the descriptions closely and don't be afraid to ask the seller. The dealerships however are very reluctant to program them for you. For a 2014 model you may just want to save yourself some hassle and pay the dealership their outrageous price for a spare.

If there is no chip and your car needs a chip, the key won't work. You might consult a Mazda dealer. I bought a key with a chip on Amazon, but I had to go to the dealer to get the key programed to work in my car.

I bought the 4 button remote entry key to replaced my original key because the case on my original key broke. I had it cut at the dealer and just transfered my transponder chip because it does not come with it, unfortunately, even i had cut at the dealer, it did not work. I'ved tried to programmed it, but the car just keep cranking without starting.hope this will help.

The short answer ? Don't buy it. Yes, understood that the key needs to programmed. But it's not as simple as sounds. The locksmith you go to would have to have the same equipment that the key understands. If their programmer is not from the same company, it will not communicate with this key. ALSO, if you get this key, DO NOT try it in your vehicle! Nissan AND a local locksmith both told me the same thing. It could shut your car off and have to be towed to the dealer. ($$$) Best thing to do is go to a local H/W store or other high tech key maker and have them do it.. Good Luck

I think so. Does it have an immobilizer ?FYI when I bought this key immobilizer chip ended up being dead, had to buy key from dealer. May be better off doing the same.

Comes with instructions. When you insert key into ignition it programs with chip inside. We took it to our dealer they cut it to match other one and programmed it for 10.00 bucks. Works great.

There is a chip inside the key... the chip needs to be programmed either by the dealer or a locksmith that has the tool.. I used a locksmith it was cheaper then the dealer! The buttons to lock and unlock can be programmed at home with the given directions.. You tube has a video.. Even after the key is cut the car won't start unless the chip is programmed!

If there is a "G" stamped on the blade of the key this key will not work. However, if you contact iKeyless directly they can get you one at a substantially lower price than the dealer. You will still have to have the dealer program the key for you. Hope that helps.

You do not need to go to the dealer to program the remote. You just need to follow the instruction that come with the key to program the key-less and remote functions of the transponder.

This key does include the immobilizer chip and yes, it will need to programmed in order for the key to be able to start the engine. Usually, you can find an automotive locksmith who will do it cheaper than a dealership.
