Could not pair the key/remote combo w/ '04 8
Could not pair the key/remote combo w/ '04 8
I have tried everything I could do with the installation sheets to no avail.
Please help:
I purchased the key/remote combo about 1 month and a half ago. I got the FOB installation sheet shortly after purchasing the product. Follow all the instructions on the sheet to no avail.
Here are my questions:
1. In one of the instructions (please see on the KeyFOB): "Push driver-side door switch three times." Is that the lock switch? 'Cause there's no other door switch.
2. Is this really compatible w/ my '04 RX-8? mazdaparts says so.
Please any help would be appreciated.

You must have two original (non-valet) keys to do the programming yourself. If you don't have that, then you need to pay the dealer to program the new key and remote for you, unfortunately.
The valet will work to program the key, but he won't be able to program the FOB part of the unit, which I'm assuming he wants to do. I'd advise getting another, third key. At least that way if you lose a key in the future you won't be in the same boat.
When I bought my used '04, I walked out of a dealer because they only had one key for the car, and wouldn't give me a free programming of a spare key. Nowadays not having two keys is a big deal.
