Are you sure it's the remote? Did you try another remote (assuming you got 2 with the car)? Did you try a new remote battery? Did you verify that your trunk is securely closed?

So, assuming you do need a new remote, you can pick one up on eBay for a lot less than purchasing from Mazda. As far as part numbers go, just verify all numbers with the seller for any remote for sale.

Are you sure it's the remote itself and not the receiver?

Just brainstorming here. Try for example the trunk open button instead of lock/unlock. If it works then it's gotta be the receiver in the car. If not then likely the remote

without two working remotes you wont be able to program a new smart key

here's a link to the PDF http://s43.photobucket.com/albums/e3.../Smart%20Card/
