I've taken apart my Mazda key several times, and it's a pretty straightforward job. Most models have a small notch or groove on the back or side of the key, which you can gently pry open with a small screwdriver or a thin card. Be careful not to pry too hard, as the plastic casing can crack easily. Once opened, you'll see the circuit board and the battery inside. The battery is usually a CR2032 or CR2025 type. When removing the old battery, take note of the positive and negative orientation. After replacing it with a new battery, make sure it's securely in place before snapping the casing back together. You'll hear a click when it's properly locked. The whole process takes about five minutes, saving you the hassle of queuing and paying at the dealership. It's advisable to work in a clean area to avoid losing small parts. Also, make sure you get the correct battery model, or the remote might not work.
