Mazda 6 Keyless Entry Remote Programming?

[Aztec Khan]

These steps do work. i have a Mazda 6, and i've been having this problem just for a day now, and thought i would give the steps a try. both car keys wouldn't lock or unlock. i changed the batterys in both and still they wouldnt lock or unlock, so i followed the steps and it worked! it only took about.. 1 minute, start to finish. thanks for your help.

Thanks, works like a charm. Even on an AU spec car.

Couple of things, I found you needed to lock unlock with the key first.

And if you have one working remote and one 'dud' you need to reprogramme both at the same time.

But otherwise great, just saved $60 for 30 seconds work.

We tried all the above suggestions. Following the 9 steps, adding the 4th on/off & door lock even disconnected the car battery, changed the remote battery and not only does the remote not work, now the power windows do not operate properly. Can anyone help?

After some further research it appears that this function can be disabled (by the dealer) within the cars ECU firmware set up. This is sometimes done if the car has a hire or lease history, where the owner does not want unauthorised remote and key programming. Or of course the dealer wants to rip you to programme the remotes...

In this case you have no option other than to get the dealer involved.

Have you tested your remote, Goalieman?

Radioshack and most Auto Parts stores have simple RF testers where you can press a button on the remote and the tester will light up or beep to indicate it is receiving a signal from the remote.

If your car responds by signalling programming mode is entered but the remote will not respond - you may have

- the wrong remote type
- faulty remote
- dead batteries

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me. I've lost the remote to my 2002 Mazda 6. I want to get a replacement from eBay and program it myself however I want to make sure I am buying the correct part number.

As far as I understand the most popular version is Visteon 41804. But is it the right one for my car? What’s the best way to check? I spoke to Mazda people and they gave me the Mazda part number which is GJ6E675RY. Obviously manufacture and Mazda part numbers are different..

Anyone has a clue? Cheers..

We didn't get the Mazda 6 in North America until the 2003 model year.

It is FCC: KPU41805 and model 41805 here for the correct remote.



Google shows that "Visteon 41804" is a completely different remote type:

Thanks for the quick reply! I am in the UK and my car reg is "52" which is classified as "end of 2002" manufacture.

The second remote (3 buttons) is the one I need

[mrsmg2009]

The problem is there is also Visteon 41836 and other which look exactly the same! How do I find out which one suits my car?

For example: THIS ONE vs THIS ONE

This sounds absurd, but it worked for us to program our new Mazda 5 Keyless Entry Keyfob.

Step 1: Open drivers door and leave open.

Step 2: Lock and unlock the drivers door using the power door lock switch on the door.

Step 3: Insert key into the ignition.

Step 4: Turn key to on position and return to off position. (IMPORTANT - use ON position NOT ACC position). Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. Leave key in the ignition.

Step 5: Open and close the drivers door 3 times. (Door should be left open after this step).

Step 6: ECU should respond by locking and unlocking the doors.

Step 7: Press the unlock button on remote twice. (This is different than other posts that say you can push any button. Our experience is that it has to be the unlock button.)

Step 8: Remove the key from the ignition and the ECU will respond a final time with a series of door locks and unlocks. You're done!

Hi there. I have successfully reprogrammed my fob with the above procedure but within say 3 hours it stops working again. So it has become a bit of a pain in the but to reprogramm it all the time. Any suggestions out there (Battery is brand new) thanks

[pauliesaprano]

I have done everything in this forum, even purchased a new remote and still nothing. Car is functioning right, I even discontected the battery for a half hour. So now my question is: could there be a problem with my antena that receives the signal? Can I replace it? And where could I find it on my 03 Mazda 6?
Thanks,
Paulie

Both my keys stopped working at the same time. For the one I carry with me - I had noticed that it seemed to be "weaker" or I would have to hit the lock button multiple times from very close for it to work. Then it just stopped working, and my spare doesn't work either.

I have tried the 3 keyon/3 open&close door and the system responds, but nothing happens when I hit my remote button. I have tried multiple times.

Also tried the 4 keyons/4 open&close door but nothing happened. Previous posts indicated this was to see if the keyless system was working properly, which I guess it is not. So, I started looking at fuses, but there is not a fuse specifically for the keyless entry in the owner's manual. From searching around, I checked the ROOM fuse, and then the ENGINE and MIRROR fuses (all in the interior fuse panel), but they were all fine.

Is there a next step I can take to diagnose the problem?

Hey guys i have a 2008 mazda 3 that was used as a rental for its beginning life i have read that the dealer disables the customer programming mode and that the ecu needs to be reprogrammed i work as a tech at a repair facility with the capabilities of ecu programming and am going to try this before the dealer as mine will not go into programming mode, i will post as soon as i found out if this works or not

Hi
I ran into the same issue reported here - Keyless remote stopped working in my 2004 Mazda 6i. I followed all the steps mentioned here.
1) Open the Drivers door
2) On - off key 3 times (Tried 4 times too )
3) Open close door 3 times
4) Car responds by lock/unlocking the doors
But here when I press any key in the remote, nothing happens (Tried with Unlock button too ).
I tried the above points with a new remote as well. Nothing happens.
Can someone help me here?
