2006 Mazda 5 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Saturday afternoon near Camarillo Grove Park, a woman selling restored mid-century furniture out of her Mazda 5 flagged me down. She had one working smart key left and wanted a spare before the original gave out too.
She told me the salesperson who sold her the car years ago said smart keys were "dealer-locked." That was wrong then, and it is wrong now. The 2006 Mazda 5 runs a Mitsubishi-based immobilizer system. The proximity antennas in the doors, dash, and trunk talk to the BGBX1T458SKE11A01 fob, and programming happens through the OBD-II port, not some secret dealer terminal.
I sat in the driver seat with my diagnostic tool plugged in. The immobilizer on these first-generation Mazda 5s (CR platform, shared with the Mazda 3) has a timed security handshake, so the procedure includes a short wait cycle while the system accepts the new fob ID. Generated the new key, paired it, and then tested all four buttons: lock, unlock, hatch release, panic. Push-button start fired right up. Walked every door to check proximity unlock range.
She watched the whole thing happen from her booth, came back when I waved, tested it herself, and nodded like she already knew it would work.
The dealer wanted a weekday appointment and a ride home while they ordered the part. Her car never left the lot.

“I needed a car key replacement in Hillcrest and EZ Car Keyz helped me immediately. The technician programmed a new smart key right next to my car and tested every function before leaving. Fast, friendly, and very professional.”
“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
