Mazda 6 Keyless Entry Remote Programming?

[GTIduffer]

I had the same problems- didnt work until I turned the battery over in teh remote. ( I put a new battery in adn left the '+' side up; it worked after I turned the '+' side down ). Then these instructions worked.

GTIduffer - Please don't give useless or otherwise wrong information! Seriously, there's no way you got it to work by just turning the battery the other way, because the battery goes in with the plus side facing up, not down - it even says on the circuit board!

Everyone else who is giving good constructive help, PLEASE HELP ME!
Okay, so I was able to go through and complete everything up through Step 6 - and I got the proper response (doors lock and unlock). However, whenever I go past this step, whether I am pressing the remote button once, twice, three times or four times, I get no response (doors lock/unlock). What am I doing wrong? But when I continued past with no response, and I removed the key from ignition, I got the proper response. WHAT GIVES??!?

Please help me solve this problem, as it is unbelievably annoying!

Mazda6ownr- GTIduffer might be on to something. I tried flipping the battery myself after trying to fix my Keyless Entry Remotes for over a year now with no response from the ECU before. Once I flipped the battery on the remote, I go through all the steps and upon the first press of a button on the remote the trunk pops open and the horn starts going off. Sadly, the remotes still aren't working though. This has to be the single most aggravating thing to ever go through. I miss being able to turn off my alarm from inside when it goes off during thunderstorms, or when motorcycles set the alarm off, I look like a fool running down the street to turn the alarm off.

Thanks very much for the flawless 9 step instructions! I also read them and thought it was some "secret handshake" and I was being filmed by Candid Camera! But it worked like a charm. Now I'm dying to know what caused it to happen-- a built in bug to force people in for servicing at a dealership? The "interweb" and the power of crowds to the rescue again!

I have a 2004, both remote quit working at the same time. They will lock the doors but will not unlock them. Is this a programing issue or possibly a "sensor"?

thanks, worked like a charm on my 2006 MAZDA 6 S.
My remote stopped working this morning. After replacing the battery, it still would not work. I called the dealership to inquire how to re-sync the remote to my car, since the light on the remote was still working. The service technician informed me that "you would need to bring in the car for that and have us hook it up to our computer and HOPEFULLY it would re-sync". Well, needless to say, he was wrong. Thanks alot for the how-to.
