It's been a problem that's plaguing my car for over a year and granted I've got used to locking and unlocking the car using the keys.
So my real question is, has anyone ever got to replace the keyless receiver in the glove box?

Yes I've bought a new switchblade key, and yes I've checked the batteries and yes the switchblade is the correct model.

 

and I've read someone (I think ASH8) said the receiver need to be programmed by a dealer even after getting the part myself

 

I have same problem...really do not feeling like going to mazda and getting ripped off like I always do...but I only drive my car like once a week in the summer so its no biggy for me

 

i dont have the switchblade but i lost the actual key part of my key and went to mazda to get a new one and they took like 2 days to program the thing I don't know if this is because my mazda dealership sucks *** or because its that hard to program the key?

 

The thing is... I brought my car to the dealer before and let them "diagnose", and they said they couldn't do anything about it as they've tried everything (wtf right?)

 

yeah thats bullshit

 

anyone else?

 

maybe try that iphone or android app?

I wouldnt know, ive never had to use a key to my car ever since i bought it. I put my key in my pocket when i get dressed and it stays there all day until i get home. Perks of keyless entry <3 40th anniversary
