Ask about this key →Lost your Mazda key? What to do
You do not need to tow the car to a dealer. Follow these steps and we will make you a new key.
Check for a spare
Look for a second key at home or with family. If you have one, a copy costs much less than replacing every key.
Note your model and year
Find the model (Demio, Axela, CX-5…) and year on your logbook. Mazda keys change by year, so this tells us which key you need.
Call or WhatsApp us
Send the model, year and your location. We confirm the right key and the price before we start.
We make and program the key
We cut and program a new key at our branch or where your car is, and delete the lost key so it can no longer start the car. We check your ID and the car's logbook first.
Which Mazda key do you have?
Not sure? Send us a photo of your key or your ignition on WhatsApp and we will tell you.
Key with no buttons
A plain key with a plastic head is a transponder (chip) key on most Mazdas, or a basic mechanical key on very old models.
Key with buttons
A key with lock and unlock buttons is a remote key. If the blade folds into the key, it is a flip remote key.
Card or fob, turn a knob
If you keep the key in your pocket and turn a knob on the dashboard to start, you have a knob-turn smart key.
Push-button start
If you press a start button, you have a push-start smart key. The key depends on the year: 2010–2013, 2014–2018 or 2019 and newer.
Car makes and models we program
We program keys for most cars on Kenyan roads, both Japanese-market imports and UK and European models. Not sure about yours? Send us the make, model and year.

Send your model and year on WhatsApp for your exact price.
Can you make a Mazda key if I have lost all my keys?
Yes. We make and program a new key from scratch and delete the lost key from your car, so it can no longer start it. Call or WhatsApp us for the price. We check your ID and the car's logbook before we start.
Which Mazda models do you make keys for?
We make and program keys for the Mazda Demio (Mazda 2), Axela (Mazda 3), Atenza (Mazda 6), CX-3, CX-5, CX-7, CX-9, CX-30, Premacy, MPV and BT-50, from older chip keys to the latest smart keys. We also cut mechanical keys for the Mazda Bongo, which does not use a chip.
How long does it take to make a Mazda key?
Most Mazda keys are cut and programmed while you wait. If we need to order a less common key, we tell you the waiting time before you pay.
Do I need to bring my Mazda?
Yes, the new key has to be programmed to your car. You can bring it to our Kiambu Road or Westlands branch, or we come to your home or office in Nairobi.
Is a Demio key the same as an Axela or Atenza key?
Often yes. Mazda used the same keys across several models in the same years, which is why we list keys by year. Send us your model and year and we will confirm the right key.
