On the sites that advertise advanced keyless entry replacement transmiters and keys I believe I read instructions for programming the transmitter and key without having a Mazda Dealer/Service Center do them.
Any info?
just search it on yahoo, but in ur car name model and year, followed by keyless entry instructions,
same happened with me. you'll find step by step instructions
the key has to be programmed at a mazda dealership but the transmitter can be programmed in about 1 minute. pm or email me and i can show you how to program it
