Keyless Remote
 
Hi All,

Say, my remote stopped working to my 2004 rx8. it's the fob that's separate from the key. Put new batteries in it, still nothing. I had problems with it off and on for the last couple months, sometimes having to get closer to the car for it to work, thus me thinking it's the batt.

Now with new batteries, not working. Wondering who has a fix for this short of buying a new one.'

Tx!

It's time for you to get a switch blade key. I came across the same problem as my FOB ran out of battery. Replaced it with a new battery and for some reason the program in the FOB stopped working. I searched and found out that you could use the Switch Blade key with our 2004 RX-8.

i just followed this instructions: (few modification to be more NOOB friendly like me)

Remote Programming
• Ensure that all doors, trunk, and hood are closed,
• open the driver’s door
Carry out the operation below within 24 seconds:
Insert key
• Turn ignition to the run position and off, 3 times (on-off, on-off, on-off)
• Leave key in ignition (off position, not lock or on)
• Push door switch, 3 times (The door switch is the little rubber one on the jamb of the rear door next to your elbow when sitting in the driver’s seat, which controls the interior lights.)
• Car will lock, then unlock automatically after pressing the door switch 3 times
While the car is in unlock mode, Push 'Lock' on your newly acquired remote 2 times, (some suggest unlock, so try both)
• You will notice after pressing the Lock button on your remote, Car will lock, then unlock automatically again.
• Take out you key on the ignition and test your remote.

If it doesn't work, wait for a minute or so and repeat the procedure



NOTE: I DONT HAVE any existing remote. so no need to have an existing remote to do this procedure
