Hey, does anybody know how to program a keyless entry remote to the car? Also, does anyone know if you can have more than two (2) remotes keyed to a car? I want to buy a third keyless remote.

Thanks

My dealer told me you could have three but no more than three remotes.

But you can't programme them yourself. The dealer has to do that (they use a special programming tool). They also need one of your present remotes to do that.

Thanks. I was hoping to be able to do it myself and save the $. I know with my Probe there was a way to do it with opening the trunk and putting the key in the ignition, blah, blah, and I was hoping it was the same/similar with the 6.

I figured out how to do it. This works for the keyless entry but not for the immobilizer key. I haven't figured that out....YET!

Step 1: Open drivers 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 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!

Me wonders too...

I guess you had access to the technical manual?

haha. its like a cheat code.

open your driver door 34 times, then take two steps to the right. You will gain 10HP everytime you do this. After doing this, bang your head onto a wall.

Hmmm, I think someone should verify this. It could be legit, but it sounds like someone is playing a prank on us.

It's not a prank, I don't have access to a tech manual and neither do most of the dealers (it seems). I looked up the programming technique for the Millennia and tried it. When it didn't work I tried it again without removing the key from the ignition as specified in the Millennia instructions and it worked.

BTW - I recently sold my MK4 VW and have over 4000 posts on VWVORTEX.com as BostonMk4. Not all may agree with all my opinions but I have NEVER posted a prank nor have I posted something that I couldn't attest worked for me. I welcome someone to verify and hope that they post their results.

I also think that you can program another immobilizer key without dealer assistance if you have 2 working keys. I know this because I caught a glimpse of a technician's training workbook (not the 6 tech manual) while he was unsucessfully looking for keyless programming and it listed procedures if you had 2 working keys and if you didn't have 2 keys. I'm sorry I didn't copy the instructions or read them more thoroughly.

Hey, quick Q: Do you have to re-program all of the remotes or can you just "add" one?

I found that I had to reprogram all the remotes...but I don't know if that's because I pushed a button on a remote 2X by accident or if your required to reprogram all the remotes. I'd have all of them handy to make sure they all work.

I have a 2002 Tribute along with my M6. Its owners manual tells how to program more remotes and how to add another imobilizer key. Do rememeber that you must have the two original factory keys to properly proram your new key and they have to be done in sequence. Also heard you should try this in the dealers parking lot for if you screw up programing the key, you can shut the vehicle down. Kinda odd that Mazda gave no instructions on the M6 for programming the remotes or a new key.

That's because Mazda wants you to take it back to a dealership to get it done. I was told by my sales guy that an extra key would be over $80 bucks brcause they gota resync all the chips in the keys.

Seems like each vehicle is slightly different. I think the 6 uses a second generation immobilizer. I'm not sure that the Tribute's sequence will work.

Anyone willing to give it a try and post thier results.
