2005 Mazda Tribute Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Out in the Richland area of San Marcos, I got a call mid-morning from a guy who was already late for work. His 2005 Mazda Tribute had one key. That key had been on a heavy ring for years and at some point the blade had worn just enough that the ignition was getting finicky. Then one morning it stopped turning at all. He was standing in his driveway with a useless key and nowhere to be.
He had already called the dealer. Parts lead time, appointment availability, the whole production. Days out, minimum.
I pulled up to his driveway in Richland with the blank already pulled from my inventory. I decoded the existing key at the lock cylinder, cut a replacement blade to match, and then connected my programmer through the OBD port to enroll the new transponder with his vehicle's immobilizer. On these mid-2000s Tributes the relearn process is relatively clean - no multi-hour security countdown, no factory account login. The tools talk to the module, the chip gets registered, and you verify it by starting the car.
He had a working key in under an hour. The car never left the driveway. He made it to work, just a little late. The dealer would have taken days and cost him a fraction more than he paid me - he said that part out loud when I handed him the key.

Lockout to Five-Star Review
Lost key panic turned to five-star praise
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
“About 15 minutes after calling, he was already at my home. I had lost my original Ford key and he made and programmed a new one on the spot. Very fast, very professional.”
“Super fast service. About 20 minutes from the call he was already there. He had an authentic replacement on hand and made a spare key for my 2017 Nissan Rogue in about 15 minutes. Great prices, friendly, and very professional.”
