Hi,
I have a UK spec Mazda 5 (2006).
I still have the two original keyless remotes and they both work. The problem is that over the years the small plastic tabs that hold the buttons in place have fatigued and broken. Now the buttons fall out unless held down by tape.
I bought a third remote from eBay, hoping to swap the buttons over but although identical on the outside the interior is a modified design meaning that I couldn't reuse the buttons or swap the electronics over.
So I decided to try and program the new remote.
I read the PDF at the start of this thread and established that my car uses the Type B procedure.
I follow the procedure and the car goes into programming mode, confirmed by the door locking then unlocking.
But after that the procedure does not respond to any of the remotes. I have tried the original key first, and the new key first but neither causes the ECU to responds with a 'lock then unlock'.
Afterwards the two originals work fine but the new one doesn't.
Any ideas - inititially I thought it was a problem with the new key but after trying an original key first and getting no response, I'm not convinced.
Cheers,
Nigel
