Keyless entry

[Skoad]

I know this has probably been asked a dozen times but I couldnt really find anything on it. I lost my old flip key (my wife actually managed to flush it down the toilet somehow while we were 100miles away form home)... Anyway, we had no spares. We ended up paying a locksmith to program 2 new keys for us (neither with remote). I purchased a keyless remote off ebay. Now I am trying to figure out if there is any way for me to self program this remote?

Ive seen the instructions below

Step 1: Open driver side 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 Lock (off) position. Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. LEAVE key in the ignition in Lock (off) position.

Step 5: Close and open the drivers door 3 times. Leave door open after this step

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

Step 7: Press any button on remote #1 twice. ECU responds by locking and unlocking the car doors.

Step 8: Additional remotes, repeat Step 7 for up to 3 remotes total.

Step 9: Remove the key from the ignition and the ECU will respond a final time with a series (about 4) of door locks and unlocks. You're done!

These instructions didnt work. At Step 6 the car did lock and unlock the doors, but when I pressed buttons on the remote, nothing happened. Is there some special trick to get this to work? I called Mazda and they wanted over $100 to program the remote for us and the closest Mazda dealership to us is about 2 hours away.

Any and all help would be greatly apprecaited.

From what I understand and I R new here but if you have no keys to program off of you must go to dealer as they have 'dealer only' hardware that will program new key fob.
