Mazda Remote Programming From the Driver's Seat

On a Mazda without the Smart Entry system, you can program a remote yourself from the driver's seat — no tools needed.

1. 1Get in, close all doors, then open the driver's door and leave it open.
2. 2Within 24 seconds: insert the key and cycle the ignition ON then OFF three times, leaving the key in. Then close and open the driver's door three times.
3. 3Done right, the doors lock then unlock on their own — you're now in programming mode. If the locks don't cycle, start over.
4. 4Press Unlock twice on the first remote; the locks cycle to confirm. (If this is your only remote, press any button twice again, wait for the locks, then press any button twice once more on the same remote.)
5. 5To add more remotes, press any button twice on the next remote and wait for the locks to cycle; repeat for a third.
6. 6Close the door and test each remote.
