Need a Mazda CX-5 key replacement in McKinney and nearby cities? 2013-2016 CX-5s take a flip key or smart fob depending on trim, and 2017-2024 models run a proximity smart fob. Apex Locksmith Pros comes to you, pulls the key data by VIN, and cuts and programs the CX-5 key on-site so the immobilizer accepts it. We give the flat total over the phone ahead of dispatch and charge no call-out fee.

What Key Does the Mazda CX-5 Use?
Which key the CX-5 uses depends on the year and trim. Earlier first-gen CX-5s (roughly 2013-2016) on lower trims came with a remote-head key, a laser-cut (sidewinder) blade with a transponder chip and the remote buttons built into the head, turned in the ignition. Higher trims and most CX-5s from around 2017 on use a proximity smart key (push-to-start), where you keep the fob in your pocket and the car reads it over RF. Both types have to be programmed to the car's immobilizer, not just cut. We pull the key data by VIN and program the new fob on-site with Autel IM508 gear, so it both starts the car and works the lock buttons. On push-to-start CX-5s, the spare-key emergency blade inside the fob still needs to be cut to match your doors.
The most common CX-5 call
A common one on the smart-key CX-5s: the fob starts acting flaky, where you have to hold it right against the start button, or the doors stop unlocking on approach. Most of the time that's just the coin cell (a CR2025) dying inside the fob, not the fob itself. A fresh battery fixes it. The other frequent call is a worn or cracked fob where the buttons have stopped clicking after years of pocket use; at that point a new fob shell and a fresh program is the cleaner fix than babying the old one. If your CX-5 won't start at all and you're down to no working key, we can still cut and program a fresh one by VIN.
Mazda CX-5 Key Fob FCC IDs
Flip your fob over: the FCC ID is printed on the back of the case. Find it below, or just read it to our dispatcher. It tells us the exact remote your Mazda CX-5 takes before the van rolls out.
| Years | Key type | FCC ID |
|---|---|---|
| 2013-2016 | Flip key / smart by trim | KR55WK50121, KR55WK49383 |
| 2017-2024 | Proximity smart fob | WAZSKE13D02 |
Trim and market can change the fob, and several IDs often fit one model year. We confirm the exact part by VIN on every job, so a mismatched guess never reaches your driveway.

What Do Mazda CX-5 Owners Ask?
Straight answers for Mazda CX-5 owners in McKinney and nearby cities: which key your car uses, what to have ready and how on-site programming works.
Yes. An all-keys-lost CX-5 is a normal job for us. We read the immobilizer data through the VIN, cut a fresh blade, and program a working fob on-site. It takes a little longer than adding a spare, but you don't need to tow it to the dealer.
Yes, partly. The fob works over RF to start the car, but every proximity CX-5 fob also hides a metal emergency blade for the door locks if the battery dies. We cut that blade to match your CX-5 and program the fob to the car so it starts.
It depends on the year and whether it's a remote-head key or a push-to-start smart fob, since smart fobs run more. CX-5 fob jobs get a flat total quoted up front, and we're typically under what the Mazda dealer quotes since you skip the dealer markup and the trip in.
Sure. A 2015 CX-5 runs either the remote-head key with a laser-cut sidewinder blade or, on higher trims, a proximity smart key, both programmed to the immobilizer at the car. The 2017-and-up models lean all-fob. Any CX-5 year is covered; the VIN tells us the blank, and the emergency blade gets cut to your doors.
It depends on the year. 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5: KR55WK50121 or KR55WK49383; 2017-2024 Mazda CX-5: WAZSKE13D02. The ID is printed on the back of your fob case. Trim and market can change it, so we confirm the exact part by VIN before the van rolls out.
Deciding where to go? Dealer, AutoZone or locksmith? compares cost, wait and what each one can program.
