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!

Thank you, I just canceled a reprogramming appointment- saved $125.00!

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.

Is there a way to program a new fob WITHOUT having the actual key?

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!

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 KZread 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.

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.

...and just like that, sir, the new remotes are programmed. Thanks for making the KZread 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.

You just saved me 60.00! Mazda was going to charge me 60.00 to do this. Thank you so much!!! 😘

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.

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

My remote lost the connection. I was re-programming by following your instruction and it worked! Thank you so much!!!

Instructions that came with my replacement remote from ebay where incorrect for my Mazda 323 Protege, your instructions worked 1st time. Cheers mate

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.

My local Mazda dealer wanted $95 to re-program my fob (after I changed the battery). Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :)

We are grateful. Going thru some tough times and you saved us some significant amount of money. Thanks from Texas.

2009 mazda 3 now has a fob programmed for it thanks to this video. Easy instructions did while watching video.THANK YOU

I followed your instructions and voila!!!!! It worked, I now have a remote for my 2003 Miata! Thank you so much!!!!!

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.

I have been thinking about that good point!

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

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

@raymondwhitney2088

@@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!!

Thanks man! Worked perfectly on my 2002 Mazda Miata. I changed the battery and it wasn’t working so I found your video and it’s working perfectly!

Watched like 3 videos and finally this one worked thanks man. 2012 3 hatchback.

This is an awesome video. The procedure works on my 2006 Mazda3! Thank you!

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!!

Thank you! I was able to program my remote within minutes because of this!

Yay! I bought the fobs for my Miata and saw that places were going to charge upwards $200 to program them. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video. It worked and saved me a lot of money. If it doesn’t work at first, keep trying. I’m so pleased with this video

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!

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!

Thank you for the video, it is a very clear and concise demonstration. I will go and try it now!

Worked perfectly in Mazda 3 2010. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the upload Ray I followed you're instructions and presto! Fobs are once again working.

It worked to my ‘04 Miata 👍🏻 thank you so much!

Great video... Reprogramed my father in laws car after a battery change and it worked a treat.

Thanks so much for the video! 10yrs ago, this would've cost $100 to be done at a dealership.

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 :)

Thank you so very much!!! Saved me from having to goto the dealer! You are awesome!

You are a doll!! My 2003 Mazda 6 is back to life. Thanks. :))

thank you bro in the mazda dealer 79 dolar for de program , you are the best

Thank you for making it so easy . Even the tire shop folks didn't know how to do it. Maybe I can show them the video lol

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.

Thank you. That saved me loads of time. Works on European mx5 as well

Cheers mate, didnt work for my miata but I still appreciate your video :)

Followed your instructions and they worked perfectly. Thanks man, saved me some money. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thank you brother, worked perfectly and saved me so much time and money.

Thanks so much, so helpful. It worked perfectly on my 2005 Mazda 6!

Thank you for the simple easy explanation.

Please come back and make more videos. They are super helpful especially the ones on the rx8

Thank you!!! Straight to the point and it worked💯💯

You saved me a TON of money, brother! Thank you!

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 for the very simple, clear explanation. Makes me feel so good to be able to do this myself!

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 :)
