Angry Immobilizer tripped, no DTC code?

Hey guys. Been searching this forum for ever and finally came across something I didn't find. Tried posting this in the tech forum but no dice, so hoping it will be OK here.

Did some more reading the fast flashing indicates the problem then afterwards the DTC code comes up. Should flash the code 10 times after the rapid flashing. Couldn't find a match for the code, but I get 20 evenly spaced flashes.

Here is a video of the problem

it simply means the PCM (ECU/Computer) does not recognize your key

Only way to fix this is to find someone who has Mazda's Computer system (like me), or go to a dealership, worst case is your ECU is fired (it can happen)

but hey, as always, CHECK ALL PLUGS AN FUSE EVERYWHERE. sometimes when it loose, it does funny things.
