Remote entry programming
 

Somebody had posted the instructions for programming up the remote entries. I can't find the link anymore. Could you post them again? Thanks. - Bernie

I'd be pleased to!

Bought a new remote opener and found the way to code it from the dealers manual - Bought a new remote opener and found the way to code it from the dealers manual -

(The door switch is the little rubber one on the jamb of the rear door, which controls the interior lights.)

Key in,
Ignition On/Off, 3 times,
Push door switch, 3times,
- Car will lock, then unlock-
Push 'Lock' on first remote, 2 times,
~ ~ ~ second ~ , 2 times,
~ ~ ~ third (new) , 2 times,

Now all 3 are accepted by the car.

Thanks. That worked. The instructions that came from the ebay guy were close, but no cigar.

Can this be used to make one remote work for both my RX-8 and my wifes 6? I sure would like to get one of these off my keyring.

When I first started looking at ebay I couldn't find any 8 remotes, only 6 remotes. The 2 remotes looks identical. The FCC number is the same but the model number was different. I checked with the local Mazda parts dept and they said the two were NOT interchangeable, so I waited until 8 remotes started appearing on ebay. Having repeated the Mazda party line, why don't you try it and let us know how it turns out?

There is a factor of 5 - 6 between what the dealer charges and what you can get the same damn thing for on ebay.
