If anyone is having trouble getting their Mazda 3 into programming mode like I was at first, I discovered that, at least for my car, I had to additionally manually press lock/unlock on the driver's side door at the beginning after you open the door but before the key cycling. Every thing else as explained in this video worked great. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. Quick Tip Suggestion to others: Press UNLOCK button of EACH keyless remote to be programmed twice, SPECIAL NOTE: each as BOTH new and original fob, the original is the one in the ignition, and the new one you want to add, do both SUPER QUICK, otherwise the original will be cut out of the loop and it winds up disconnected and the remote function will stop working. Once that double tap is done on both, the door locks should lock and unlock after each remote is programmed. If door locks do not lock and unlock proceed as follows: Close and open drivers door once, door should lock and unlock twice. If door locks do not lock and unlock, start procedure over with to get back to this same step. BUT REMEMBER to do the double tap of 'unlock' on the ORIGINAL (fob in the ignition) + new one QUICKLY, back to back. so they can both register. I did that to get my original key fob to start working again. Best of luck to whoever is out there!
After viewing other tutorials on how to program a remote, I was having issues with programming the fob. Then after viewing your video, I followed the steps you outlined, and by magic they all now work,lol. Thank you for your tutorial, I look forward to your future reviews.
Just tried it on my Mazda Miata 2004 and worked perfectly fine. I had just came back from the Mazda dealership and they told me I needed a new key fob ($200-$300) and to program it ($140). So I left and found this video. I tried it with my old key fob and everything worked just fine, good looking brotha!
My wife has the Mazda 2 with the switchblade type of key and I just used your video to reprogram her remote (after the SIL washed the old one in his jeans!). It worked and now she loves me again. Thanks!
Bought a mazda 2, 2010. The keys weren't working so the trader put new batteries in them - broke one of the clips (delicate) that split the key in half. When i took the car they said only one key works for opening but both work starting. I took the key apart that wasn't working because the light wasn't working, turns out the 2 metal prongs on top of the battery were squashed so i lifted them a little. So now the light works every time but still won't lock/unlock the car. I took the first time plunge and followed you video. And well done and thanks for your help, saved me a ton of cash at the dealers, we're all good. Thanks again.
JB I lost my keyless remote with key. I have a spare key and ordered another keyless remote and followed these instructions. The keyless remote is working. Easy steps. Thanks
Thanks my man - good clear explanation of the process. I'm blind (and yes own a car, but have others drive me around) and I had no problem following your clear instructions. I appreciate you taking the time to make the video.
I've had my RX 8 card type keyless fob since 2009, when I got the car brand new. It never worked correctly. I spent countless hours trying to program it, but now I know it's b/c the dealer in Thousand Oaks, CA never did it. (The manager told me I could program it myself). Thank you for saving me more headaches and time.
Ray - - You just saved me a hundred dollars or more. I bought a used 2003 Miata and one of the two "fobs" didn't work. I thought it was defective and I was about to order a new one. Then I saw this video. With your clear instructions,, I re-programmed both of them so they now BOTH work great. They "key" - - as you explained - - is that you need to re-program BOTH of them at the same time, not just the "bad" or "new" one. But that was easy with your instructions. Much thanks. Dan
Thank you, Whitney Automotive!! I tried this 3 or four times with the instructions given in the remote I ordered (exactly the same as yours). I came inside, pulled up TH-cam and found your video. Your visual made it much easier to understand. Worked on the 2nd try! And thanks for the door switch info. I never noticed it until this video.
A little tip if you have a key release button, you don't have to turn the key to the release position each time. Just turning the key from run to the acc position worked for me. I had some issues at first trying to turn it to the release position until I tried it without pushing the key release each time. Just thought I would share in case anyone else was having this problem.
...and just like that, sir, the new remotes are programmed. Thanks for making the TH-cam video saving me hundreds. Also, great presentation with little to no detractors (ums, uh’s and others). It shows you know your subject matter. Much success to you.
Sir you're awesome. My remotes of my 2003 Mazda Miata stopped working a couple of months ago, I new it wasn't the control batteries since it was replaced a month before I did check the car battery and it was ok , I did check every single fuse from inside the car and motor and they were ok, and when I ask Mazda how much to check what was going on they try to charge me over $200 so I decided not to do it since a cheap alarm could be cheaper, And you just solved my problem in less than 5 minutes. Again you rock 🤘and your awesome 😎 thanks for giving us this video.

@@digitalmazda3 The programming procedure in this video is for the keyless entry system. There is a separate chip in the key portion of the switch blade keys that is responsible for communicating with the immobilizer/PATS system to start the car. This is also a programmable system. However, you can not program the key to start the vehicle is you only have one or no working keys. Two functioning and programmed keys are needed to program a third. If you have no working keys, the vehicle will need to be programmed to receive the code in that key be either the dealer or a licensed locksmith. Hope this helps!!
Thank you! thank you! thank you!!!! My remote stopped working, so I did the obvious...replaced battery. No luck...dreaded having to buy a new one ($). Thought that maybe I could 'fix' it? That's when I found your video...tried it...and low and behold :D!!! Very grateful. You have some good Karma coming your way!!
Wow I have 2005 Mazda 3 hatchback I bought on Ebay this keyless remote control for it. I follow your instructions and it work thank you so much man much blessing to you.
Awesome video. Easy and fast! My dealer was going to charge me $55 to program the fob. Thanks for saving me $ and for making such an easy to understand video.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I had to replace the battery on my 2004 Mazda Miata key fob and when that didn't work I came across your video... now both fobs are working perfectly! much appreciated
Thank You! I thought the battery was dead in my remote but buying a new one did not fix the problem so i did a google seacrh and it ed me to this video my car did exactly what was shown here and my remote works now! it must have gotten un programmed while in my bag due to so many presses. So glad this worked thanks again!
Just donated :) ; saved me so much more. I watched and followed your advise. The only thing different to all other advise is the "open" the door at end before hitting the remote twice. thank you.
Hi, i followed the same procedure and opened the door at the end, but the programed remote won't lock or unlock the drivers door. Can you please shed more light on your experience. Thanks Reginald.
@@reginaldigweike4002 I had no issues, i was setting up second fob. I note that if a car door is not shut properly, the fob will not remote lock or unlock?
@@chinesegambler my car was shut properly and even when inside the car, only the passenger door latch moves to lock and unlock, just to add i have a valet key (no buttons) so trying to add a remote key, could that be where the problem is?
Thank you very much! I tried it on my friends 2012 Mazda 3i. It didn't unlock the doors when I opened the door the 3rd time. The light on the dash did show it was in programming mode. When I pressed the unlock button on the fob twice it paired with the car. Everything works now. I will be sending a tip via PayPal.
Had trouble with it at first. (Made my alarm go off.) but my second attempt worked just like the video. I think I started with my door closed before. Thanks for the Video!
This was helpful, but not the exact procedure that worked on my 99 Mazda 626 LX 5 speed manual. I tried the same procedure as the video, but to no avail. I started with my door open, and after three ignition cycles ( not starting the car), and three door cycles, I left the door open like in the video. Nothing happened. But, I noticed that as soon as I shut the door after the third cycle, I heard two long beeps. After these beeps I was able to hit the "door open" button on the key fob/remote twice to program the remote. Also, when I found that closing the door at the final step enabled two long beeps and then programming, I noted that the locks did not cycle as in the video ( locks only cycled after unlock pushed on remote). Sorry if this was addressed in any comments previously.
Thank you so much Brother for your informative video. Saved me a lot of headache trying to figure out what was wrong with my remote after an extended period of having the battery disconnected during a timing belt repair. Very much appreciated :) Cheers :)
Wow thank you so much, I found that for my mazda 6 I had to physically press the door open/close button 3 times rather that open and closing the door otherwise it failed. Awesome
thanks so much for this video .,,even after changing my remote battery ( learned how on your other video lol ) it still was not unlocking the doors ... i programmed it using this video and it now works :)
My car wouldn't go into programming mode. I had to push my key inwards and hold it inwards the whole time to make sure it knew my key was in the ignition. After I did that it worked flawlessly. I've been trying to figure this out for years.
Thanks greatly for this tip. After trying for about 1.5hr this comment matched with what I was experiencing and I was able to get the programming working. I'm sure others who've been experiencing problems is due to this.
Thanks alot! Worked for my mx5 mk2.5 . Replaced the trunk light with some leds and 1 of em was faulty and my 10A fuse died. After i replaced with new one key fob worked for 2 3 days but on the 4th key fob stoped workin. This helped alot :)
Ray, Thank you for this detailed and accurate video/tutorial. We were just about to buy a new FOB for my 2001 Miata. Ran the programming routine you explained and it is all perfect. Many Thanks for your time!
Do you need more than one key to make it work? I just got my 2011 Mazda 3 and only got one key, and the last owner broke the switchblade remote, and it's held together with electrical tape. The car works, and runs good, but I would like a spare. Had it for two weeks, and the remote never worked, but the key still starts the car.
Hi Ray - tried this and everything happened exactly as you said except when I went to click the "unlock" 2x nothing happened. When I started car after - the locks went off/on a couple of times....but still nothing with remote. Any thoughts?

Thanks heaps, Man. My keyless entry died after my first trip this morning. So I changed the battery in the fob but it still didn't work. I tried the spare key and that didn't work either. I followed your tutorial and both fobs are now locking and unlocking my 2005 Mazda 6 again.
For my 2006 Miata with switchbalde style key. I put in the key that worked for locking/unlocking went through his cycle and had to program each one by one repeating the steps again as I tried to do 2 at the same time and it didn't work for me. Saved my $$$!
Just orderd a new key fib,hoping this will work in my 2002 mazda mpv. The prong that holds the battery in place broke,plus i think it may have of gotten wet at a mardi gras parade. Fingers crossed,hoping i have no problems. Thanks for this video.
@Whitney Automotive, thanks for the video! Really straight-forward. My question is will this work for an aftermarket remote? Or is the procedure different based on the remote? Thanks man!
Mr. Whitney I have a question, and please forgive me if you covered this already. With the switch blade key, if I perform this procedure does that program the key part also it kny the FOB? I am planning to order to blank switch blade style keys and I wasn't sure if this would do the trick after they have been cut to fit or if something else is needed. Thanks!

Just orderd a new key fib,hoping this will work in my 2002 mazda mpv. The prong that holds the battery in place broke,plus i think it may have of gotten wet at a mardi gras parade. Fingers crossed,hoping i have no problems. Thanks for this video.
Thank you. That saved me loads of time. Works on European mx5 as well
OMG I am so happy I just did this with my 2012 Mazda 3 and it worked with a used key from Amazon. You just saved my 200 bucks :D
Omg wish me luck I’m gonna try it right now!! Thank You
@Whitney Automotive, thanks for the video! Really straight-forward. My question is will this work for an aftermarket remote? Or is the procedure different based on the remote? Thanks man!
Mr. Whitney I have a question, and please forgive me if you covered this already. With the switch blade key, if I perform this procedure does that program the key part also it kny the FOB? I am planning to order to blank switch blade style keys and I wasn't sure if this would do the trick after they have been cut to fit or if something else is needed. Thanks!
