How do you change the battery & program a Mazda CX-5 key fob?
Replacing the CR2025 key in Mazda's is fairly simple. There is a small slide on the back of the key fob, which you hold open and then pull out the silver loop top section of the key. With a thin flat-head screwdriver inserted into the slots under where the key was, use a twisting motion separate the case. Once the case has started to split apart, run the screwdriver down the outside of the case to quickly pull the key apart. Pull the protective plastic cover off, then take the rubber gasket out. Switch the CR2025 battery, placing the positive side up, then reassemble the key.
