I need a new keyless remote for my 04. Anybody know of a place other than ebay or the dealer?

Thanks

Remote Supermarket is NOT a good choice on there. They sent me a dead remote and I'm currently trying to get my money back but so far haven't heard anything back...

TeeFar, if you find a good place to buy them post it here.

fast shipping and you cant beat the price. $39 for a use remote or $59 for a new one(04).

 

I got a spare credit card key off eBay. When it was delivered, they included a business card:
REMOTEZ4LESS
1-888-308-5388

Trying searching for that name on eBay.

 

I have been drug through the ringer on this. Two cars ( the kids cars ) lost remotes. And my RX-8..Just go to the dealer pay the 180.00. Save your self LOTS of BS....

 

That's probably the same place I got mine from. Finally got a hold of them and they convinced me its probably my car that's the problem since they test every remote before they send them out. I just haven't gone to my dealership to pay them the $50 to run a diagnostic. But I take back what I said earlier, they seem alright but the remotes are terribly worn.

 

hope you didn't lose the credit card key... that thing is pricey!!

 

I bought my car used and they only had 1 key. It actually isn't that expensive, I paid ~$70 for mine. It comes with a blank key. The dealer quoted me ~$100 for the programming and key cutting.

 

Dont forget that you can use a 2005+ key on ur 2004!! Thats what I and many others have done! That might be a better choice since its better looking and less stuff on ur keychain!

Jedi!!! If ur here then help me out!!! How can I know than its the remote keyless bad and no other part? I don't want to spend alot of money..... What if I just buy a keyless system I saw one for 80?? Thanks!!

 

Jedi doesn't really post here much anymore. His activity is few and far between. My guess is he sold the 8.

Anyway, more details on your problem. How many remotes do you have? None of the buttons work? Or just the door lock/unlock? Do you have the valet key too? What year 8? Odds are great that it's the remote. The receiver really doesn't fail too often.

And of course you can install an aftermarket keyless system. But then you'd have to carry around a separate key and remote....and have someone all up in your car hacking stuff up.

 

Well it's a 04 mazda rx8 I have 2 remotes I change the batteries and happens NOTHING still dead valet key? Is that a number? If it is I don't have any number so idk if I need get just a remote or the whole keyless kit :/

 

I'd try running through the program sequence. And see if any one them respond. I think it takes a working remote to code another remote, but I'd at least see if they respond anytime during the sequence. Quick and easy. Here's another post that might be of value to you. Other than that man, I don't know. I'd check all my fuses with a multimeter....then off to the dealer. If they fix it for a 100 bucks, then consider it money well spent versus hacking into an aftermarket system.

Oh and a valet key is just a plain key that only works for the ignition. All 8's came with them from the factory.

 

Never fear, Jedi is (still) here!


Cezar: any luck with the steps in post 16? Let us know and we'll see how we can help.

 

No I'm. Still having the. Problem :/ I think I'll. Just. Get a keyless system.... Or what if I get just the remote???

 

I lost my main key yesterday, now the car won't start using the 2nd key…I don't know what to do.
