I have the remote start, but I'm not aware of the valet mode.
I know if I press and hold the button it honks a bunch of times. I have to press mine twice quickly to get the engine to start.
Thanks for the note back. I can't seem to find any switch under the dash or anywhere else that makes sense. Part of the problem is that the dealership didn't include the manual for the remote start and there's literally nothing in my manual for it either.
Ya - I did try and call the dealership. They said refer to the manual.
I told them they did not provide me the remote starter manual and it's not in my service manual. They of course asked me to bring it in. Not a HUGE deal but the dealership is WAY out of my way and it's like -2 for a high here today. Thanks for the replies! I'm still on the hunt.
DAMN - you guys are the greatest. I SWEAR on everything I know it's not in my Mazda 6's manual but maybe I'm wrong. My wife has the car right now so I'll try as soon as she gets home.
I did know about the car find option. Discovered that while trying to figure WTF I couldn't get remote start to work. Scared the poop out of me. Thought it was a count down to explosion or something.
Once again - thanks to all who posted replies and especially GoBlueMazda. If we lived close I'd be buying you a few beers!
I'll post tonight to let you know the outcome. (drinks)
Dude - that worked. Again - I can't even explain to you in words my thanks. My wife drives our Mazda and has been making my life a real fun experience since this happened.
Thanks again - and I'm half tempted to freakin drive to Indiana just to buy you a beer!
I had the same problem, pushed button twice after reading this and it worked!I have the remote start, but I'm not aware of the valet mode.
