How to Reprogram a Mazda Key Fob
by Matthew Fortuna
Mazda vehicles are among the international cars that offer keyless entry capabilities. This technology allows you to wirelessly control a number of your car's features. Once you program your remote, or reprogram with the same process, you can control your door locks without fumbling with a key, can open your trunk with hands full or even sound your panic alarm in the dark or in a busy parking lot.
Step 1
Sit in the driver's seat of your Mazda and make sure that all of the car doors are closed.
Step 2
Open the driver's door and insert your key in the ignition. Cycle the key to "On" and then return it to the "Off" position.
Step 3
Repeat the previous step two more times, for a total of three cycles, and remove the key from the ignition. Wait for the doors to click.
Step 4
Press any button on your remote within 40 seconds and wait for the locks to click on and off again.
Step 5
Push the driver's door frame button once you are done, and the locks will click two more times. This will indicate the end of the process.
