Immobilizer key word

[AndyH]

Hi All,

Anyone have an immobilizer fitted Mazda which needed a key word to be provided for additional key programming?

Galadari will not support this for me as my Miata is an import.. so I wondered if anyone else has had to go through this and how you solved it?

To be clear, I just need the key word, I think I can configure the key myself with that.

Many thanks

I think check in the forums from where Miata is come from. Means if its EU specs then your best bet is to find a keyword in EU forums and online clubs. As to me your this request sounds bit alien as i have never seen immobilizer in my mazda.

Thanks, I have been trying!

It would be hard to know if you have immobilizer until you needed a new key. Its just a chip in the head of the key which has to pair with a device in the ignition barrel.

If its only the key control issue, then you can get one computer coded key from MINUTES shop in almost every shopping mall. There is one in Mirdiff city center, Deira City Center etc. Have you tried those guys?

I think they can cut the key, but it is a just key without immobilizer chip. Even if it had the chip, I would still need the Key Word to program it. Those keys are only good to open the doors and trunk, but will not start the car.

If you have 2 or more existing keys you dont need the key word, but if you only have 1 key the process is very different. Of course the agency are useless on the subject.

There are some US sites (Keylessride) who say they can provide the Key Word, but they didnt get back to me yet.

I have done it for my previous car(Nissan Sunny) key with chip in one key maker shop in Sharjah. Paid around AED 180 for a key including cutting and computerized chip pairing. It was very quick...

Thank you! Ill have to shop around then, would be a huge win not to have to worry about my key failing or getting lost

Update on this, the locksmiths had all the equipment, but they couldnt access my car through the ODB to clone the transponder..

They want to remove the immobilizer chip and read it directly, this seems too high risk for me, so ill leave it. Having one key is a lower risk than someone messing around with my immobilizer I reckon.
