Key Fob Programming

'08 Mazda5
I just purchase an '08 Mazda5 from a private seller and he only had one key fob. I recently traded in my '06 MPV for a used Odyssey (growing family) and the dealer said that he did not have and key fobs and was being a jerk, so I only gave him one fob with the MPV and kept the other...I know, I know childish.

Anyway the MPV key fob looks identical to the Mazda5 key fob. I did a search on fob programming on the site and found this...

Step 1: Open [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]drivers [COLOR=green! important]door[/color][/color][/color] 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 off position. (IMPORTANT - use ON position NOT ACC position). Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. Leave key in the ignition.

Step 5: Open and close the drivers door 3 times. (Door should be left open after this step).

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

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

Step 8: Press any button on remote #2 (etc.) Each time the ECU will respond by locking & unlocking the doors.

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

Now, it everything does what it should according to the directions, except when I try remote #2 (Old MPV remote) nothing happens. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance.
 
Look on the backs of the remotes and compare the visteon and FCC ID numbers. If they're the same then the remotes are interchangeable. More than likely they're not and that's why you can't get the second remote to program.
