How to program a keyless entry remote for Mazda Rx8 ?

Hello everyone, again... So today we going to learn how to program Mazda Rx8 Remote to work.

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Get in to your car`s driver seat and make sure all doors (also hood and trunk) are fully closed and your key is out of the ignition.
2. Open driver side door and using manual door lock (the little click inside the door) just lock it 3 times (Leave the door open).
3. Insert key to the ignition.
4. Turn the key to ON position and then return to OFF. Do this 2 more times (so its 3 times per all) quickly.
5. Close and open drivers door 3 times and after that leave the door open.
6. The car should lock and unlock automatically.
7. Press any button on the remote twice and car should again lock and unlock automatically.
8. If you have more remotes, repeat step 7 (Max. 3 remotes).
9. Remove the key from ignition - door should again lock and unlock few times rapidly.
10. You done, test your remote :)

*I had a problem on my Mazda Rx-8 2004, so everyone told me that there may be only 2 problems:
1. Battery is empty.
2. The remote does not fits your car (they may look exactly the same, but the number on the back is different).

So if you had your remote working before:
Step 1: Change your battery.
Step 2: (If it does not works anyway): Reprogram.
Step 3: (If it does not work even after that). Get it to Garage to fix it, because you can`t find anything on the internet if it still does not work.
Step 4: You can still try to buy a new remote, your old one maybe jammed or whatever.

And if you had not your remote working before:
Step 1: Change your battery.
Step 2: (If it does not work anyway): Reprogram.
Step 3: Buy a new remote and program it.

If you need to buy a new remote get this one, because:
- It is universal, at least I think so, because I found that it helped for most people on forums who have brought a lot of different remotes and they didnt worked, also it helped for me.
- Cheaper than other ones.
- You also get a new key.
- You can be sure that it does work and you don`t need to call your dealer to get the number that fits your car.

Here`s it is: (press on the image to open the ebay)
Step 1. Get it to some key master with your original key to get it cut to the right shape.
Step 2. Program it.

Good luck :)
