ive tried to reprogram the remotes as people say your car battery dying can cause the codes to be reset and no luck, followed the instructions on the diy https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-code-your-own-key-remote-43873/ completely and nothing... autozone's remote tester thing shows that both of mine have battery and put of a signal. mazda dealer says if reprogramming them dont work then the remotes could be bad (considering both of them are atleast putting of a signal). Anyone else have this problem or even better a solution? helpp me!

i got the same problem with mine. Mine throw out a signal but its so weak the car wont pick it up. Since im so busy with work i havent had a chance to get these checked.

I had a similar problem. It would shoot the signal, but nothing would happen. I ended up buying a replacement remote($50). I have the switchblade kind, so the key part is separate from the remote, so I kept my key and didn't have to re-key.

but 2 remotes with the same problem? seems unlikely
