and then u will have the follow the procedure below to program ur key and the remote

**** programming the key ****

Items needed:
1. 2 pre-programmed transponder keys.
2. 1 new transponder key

The timing is critical to this procedure, please read through the entire procedure before attempting.
Procedure:
1. Insert one of the pre-programmed transponder keys and turn the ignition to \"on\", leave on for at least one second (I wait until the red key symbol in the instrument cluster extiinguishes), remove the key from the ignition.
2. Within 5 seconds insert the second pre-programmed key and urn the ignition to \"on\" for at least one second but no more than 5 seconds (use the key symbol for this as well) then remove the second key.
3. within 10 seconds insert the new key in the ignition and turn the ignition to \"on\", if you are successful the red key symbol will illuminate then extinguish after about a second.

If you are not successful the red key symbol will flash repeatedly to indicate that you have inserted an invalid key. Remove the key, wait a minute and try it again, it took me a few times to get it perfect and I had done it before.

***** programming the remote *****

Have all the remotes that you are going to be using, maximum of 3, with you when you do this programming as all of them have to be reprogrammed into memory.

Step 1: Open driver side 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 Lock (off) position. Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. LEAVE key in the ignition in Lock (off) position.

Step 5: Close and open the drivers door 3 times. Leave door open after this step

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

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

Step 8: Additional remotes, repeat Step 7 for up to 3 remotes total.

Step 9: Remove the key from the ignition and the ECU will respond a final time with a series (about 4) of door locks and unlocks. You\'re done!

Hey Flipspeed,

Can you also cut the blank key to match the existing one I have (if so how much for it) and do you have both the RX8 remote and the blank key in stock as I feel like being the guinea pig for this project?:D

Thanks,
SpeedyG

I can cut them no problem but if you want to be the guinea pig be my guest.

BTW, you have to prepay for the remote.

[TheProfessor]

Seems like an aweful lot of money for something that either hangs from the steering column or sits in your pocket most of the time, but hey, to each his/her own.

[ds2chan]

if that\'s the case then we should just buy the remotes from \"remotesuperstore\" from ebay.. he\'s selling so many remotes for every car..

remotes (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LIKE-NEW-05-06-RX-8-KEYLESS-ENTRY-REMOTE-w-PROGRAM_W0QQitemZ8040428704QQcategoryZ33723QQssPag eNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

then we can just buy the key blanks from joe/flipspeed..

then I\'m guessing joe can cut them for us and possibly install the key onto the remotes we get from ebay..

[SpeedyG]

Thanks for the answer Flipspeed. When you say \"prepay\" for the remote does it mean you don\'t have it in stock and you have to order it and if so how long will it take to get it? Do I have to leave you one of the keys in order to cut the new one or can you do it \"on the fly\" while I go and grab a coffee or something?;) And last but not least are you in on Thursday 30th as I might drop by to get them (and pay for all of them)? If I won\'t be able to make it on Thursday I\'ll be there on Saturday guaranteed.:)

[FLIPDADY]

Prepay meaning I have to order it and if the programming doesn\'t work then you\'re stuck with it. No returns on electrical items.

I don\'t stock that particular remote. I do have the key blanks in stock.

[SpeedyG]

OK I get it now. How long to get it after you order it? I\'ll take my chances with the programming.I\'ll try an be there on Thursday to prepay for the remote and get the blank key cut. Thanks Flip.:)

good luck.. I\'ve always wanted a flip key.. maybe I\'ll try my luck with the remote off of ebay if this works..

[SIM SIMMA]

The flip key novelty does wear off. When I had one with my VR6 I think others found it \"cooler\" and were more fascinated with it than me :)

I liked it for about a month.. then it was meh.

shhh, u\'r ruining the moment for me.. :p j/k..

well, the novelty will wear off for everything tho.. cars, homes, ipod, etc.. it\'s just that if u don\'t buy the product that u so want then u\'ll probably always want it.. if the remote from ebay works then the price will be much cheaper and it seems like a small price to pay to make one happy for a while (or for the rest of his/her life).. :D

[SpeedyG]

You might be right about the wear off but right now it\'s one of the few things I constantly think about ...:D

[jdigu57]

i think i am gona go get the remote and key tdy and see if this thing works ...

[SpeedyG]

As I understood from Flipspeed he has to order the remote first so the most you can get today is the blank key. Am I missing something or you were thinking of getting the remote from somewhere else? :(Anyway if you can get both of them today post the results. I know I\'m interested in this... ;)

[FLIPDADY]

I only have the flip key, the remote has to be prepaid and ordered.

[jdigu57]

guess what it works fine ... i got myslf a flip key for mazda 3:) :) :p

[ds2chan]

[jdigu57]

[ds2chan]

thanks.. I think I might try to get one from that guy on ebay.. can you tell me if your remote looks the same as the one on the ebay??

remotes (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LIKE-NEW-05-06-RX-8-KEYLESS-ENTRY-REMOTE-w-PROGRAM_W0QQitemZ8040428704QQcategoryZ33723QQssPag eNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

thanks again..

edit: joe, are you able to tell if the remote from ebay is the same one?? thanks very much..

[jdigu57]

yea it does ... but i dun knw if its the same part number or not ...

[SpeedyG]

Wohoo !!! Flip I\'m definately coming tomorrow to order mine!!!!:D

[jdigu57]

i got mine for avante mazda in richmond hill ... as flip din have the remote ....

[firstmazda]

can someone post pics of their new toys please?

[SIM SIMMA]

Sorry didn\'t mean to put the key down... it was not my intention... ummm... can i see? can i see? :D

The key is relatively cheap compared to the VW/Audi key... I believe it was 275 plus tax or something crazy like that.

To those who have completed this little find... good job! I\'m sure more will follow :)

[ds2chan]

no worries.. I\'m sure the key forgives you.. :)

[FLIPDADY]

Still don\'t know why you need the RX-8 remote.

I\'m currently trying the 06 Mazda6 hatch/wagon remote b/c it doesn\'t have the extra button for trunk release and it\'s cheaper.($130.09 TM3/taxes included)

Oh and just found out the 06 Mazda6 sedan remote is $30.85 TM3/taxes included.

I\'ll let everyone know the outcome.

[Shat2]

hmmm the mazda 6 remote seems more worth it.. 180 ish for a rx8 remote is just expensive! :(
oo is the mazda 6 sedan remote a flip one too?

[FLIPDADY]

Yup, still gotta try it.

The difference in price is well worth the try.

[firstmazda]

I still don\'t get it.
So the flip key and the remote are separate entities, why can\'t
we just program the key to work along with our other keys,
why do we need to buy a 3rd remote?

(pics please)

look at the picture of the key and remote on the ebay link I posted.. the key is a flip key.. ie, the key is hidden until you press a button and then presto, the key flips up from inside the remote.. the mazda3 oem remote does not have a ditch where the key can hide in.. thus, you have to buy a new remote and a new key.. and I just saw the pieces this morning at MoT.. joe showed me the two pieces.. they\'re separated.. after you program them then you can put them together..

[Shat2]

i read on the m3forums that the mazda 5 key also works. don\'t quote me on this tho XD

[SpeedyG]

Thank you for the blank key and the Mazdaspeed catalog Flip, it was nice to see you today. If the Mazda 6 remote works keep one for me I\'ll come by on Saturday to pick it up, if not I\'ll come to prepay the RX8 one.:D

ahh, I get it, you put the pieces together, now I see.
Thanks!

Hmmm.... with that trunk release button, I suppose we can modify our
trunks with a solenoid and receiver??

[chinsterr]

I read somewhere that security at an airport in the states considered the Audi/VW flip key a weapon, and they actaully took somebody\'s audi keys away.

lol stay clear of airports !!

[Shat2]

lol serious~ o chinster do u goto pmall often? i think i saw your car at pmall.

[chinsterr]

probably once every two weeks or so ? But i haven\'t gone there in a while . LOL there are soo many white Mazda 3s in markham/richmondhill now, its impossible to keep track of everyone

[ds2chan]

the wait is killing me.. I\'m on the edge of my seat waiting for the results.. :D :p

[SpeedyG]

Me too...:( I\'m dying to find out. Come on Flip have some mercy on us:D

[FLIPDADY]

Talked to my techs and they\'re saying that the 6 remote will work as well but I didn\'t get to try it for myself.

Anyone want to be the guniea pig?

[SpeedyG]

I\'ll be there first thing in the morning Flip. I want to test it and if it works fine, if not I\'ll order the RX8. See you tomorrow.

[FLIPDADY]

[FLIPDADY]

[SpeedyG]

Wohoo !!!! It works!!! Thank you so much Flipspeed for the briliant idea that saved me quite a few bucks and thank you Jeff for the zoom-zoom sticker.:) It was really nice to see you guys today. OK to cut to the chase I\'ve tried the Mazda 6 remote provided by Flipspeed and following the same procedure described earlier in the thread I programmed the third remote in a matter of minutes. Go for it guys, it works it looks very cool and now it\'s cheap (again thanks to Flipspeed :D ).

[FLIPDADY]

Great news!

So here\'s the breakdown for the flip key and remote:

Flip key: $39.26
Remote: $26.82

TM3 price and taxes in $76.00.

Thanks SpeedyG for being the test subject.;)

[mypatpat]

Thats so cheap!!!

Now I want one!! Group Buy! Group Buy!

[ds2chan]

I got there too late!! speedyG beat me to it.. bastard.. :D j/k.. that\'s awesome.. I already placed my order with joe..

I also bumped into jobes.. nice guy to talk to.. met him at the meet and he was one of the 50 people I asked about their tints.. :p

talked to joe.. always a pleasure.. his son was fun to watch as he answered the phone \"Mazda of Toronto\".. :p

and finally met jeff!! super friendly guy and thanks so much for the zoom-zoom sticker.. I\'m so excited I don\'t know where to put it.. :)

damn, I think I just did some thread-crapping.. :p

[Shat2]

i ordered one too XD can\'t wait for it to come in :)

[mypatpat]

Hey Joe, do I have to come in an make a prepaid order on the flip key + remote? Or can you order it before hand and I\'ll pay when I pickup?

If it\'s the former then expect to see me Monday morning ;)

[ricecookerp5]

pretty expensive just to make a key flip don\'t u think???

[SpeedyG]

Go for it guys, at 76 bucks it\'s a must have :D ... On a side note the new remote has a thin red LED between the lock and unlock buttons so you\'ll know when to replace the battery ;) Sorry for being earlier than you ds2chan but I couldn\'t stop thinking about this key since Wednesday when Flipspeed said the Mazda 6 remote might work... I was painting my callipers on Friday night till 3 AM but still I managed to wake up and go to MOT at around 10 :) Once again Flipspeed is the man...:D :D :D

[SIM SIMMA]

I saw Speedy G when I was picking up my paint pen. I got to see the new flip key in person. It\'s not bad for the price!! Slightly bigger than the VW/Audi key I was used to... but man for under 100 bucks that is a steal!!

Speedy G was so excited about the key.

Nice seeing you again ds2chan.

[Shat2]

WOOT THE REMOTE WORKS!! XD can\'t wait till the key comes in :p

Yes please definately do that; just to inquire.
This would include the key being cut at the dealership as well? Or can I just have it mailed and get it cut at like say Canadian Tire? I have no problem coming there but I\'m in Hamilton and working in Sauga so I\'m just curious. But I\'ll definately get one Joe

(and any word on the CAI? If im there might as well pick that up too)

Programming the key and remotes is straight forward ... but anyone managed to put the key ring thur the holes??

Before Mazda Canada realizes the demand of these flipkeys is rising and decides to mark up the price, BUY NOW :D

I got the keyring in no problem, took a little bit of effort tho...

I found that with this remote I can unlock all doors by press and hold of the unlock button, no need to press twice like the fob.

I stretched out the ring so that it looked like a spring and the ring went in without any problems.. then I took a pair of needle nose pliers to help me squeeze the ring back into it\'s original shape.. I was afraid of scratching up the bottom of the remote..

[silversurfer]

Wow, thought I would be able to resist this one but after seeing the pics I\'m gonna need one.

Flip, could you please order one for me? Thanks.:)

Who\'s gonna be the first to mod the trunk release, either as a trunk release or something more interesting and far less useful.....!

Hydraulics anyone? :p :sarc

[skunk2]

maybe we can get Lockdown involved and figure a way to make the trunk release work.

[tonyzoomzoom]

Hi Flipspeed. Can you give me an idea of how much it would cost to ship a remote and a blank flip key for the Mazda3 to Vancouver BC?

We may have a few members over here who would be interested.

As for payment, will paypal work or would you prefer some other method.

Thank you.

jeff had a pretty good suggestion of having it open all the windows.. not sure how plausible that is tho.. not sure what else u could do with the button for us folks with a hatch.. also, I\'m not sure if I would want to accidentally open all my windows at once.. :p

i had this idea earlier but unfortunately regular set of relays and all won\'t do since the opening/closing of windows is governed through the ECU and one would need a more complex logic circuit and that equals more $.. so i guess it\'s doable but at what cost.. doesn\'t seem to be a DIY mod :zzz

Hi Flipspeed,

Please correct me if I\'m wrong, $76.00 does not include cut the blank key, right? Will you still help people to order the filp key, if we are still interesting?

you could go to another dealer but (please correct me if I\'m wrong) you won\'t get the TM3 discount.. thus, you probably should go to the dealership that flipspeed works at (Mazda of Toronto)..

yes, and it\'s awesome.. you won\'t be sorry that you bought one.. the construction of the key fob feels much more sturdy and durable than the OEM key fob and it looks much nicer IMO..

Got my flip key/remote from Joe this morning (Thanks again chaser for getting me the flip key portion for my bday!:D ) and just programmed it now and it only took me one try for both the remote and key. ;)

Works like a charm and I\'m loving the new switch blade knife!

Don\'t worry about gas just put in $10 and try not to drive all over town.

Jump on the flip-key bandwagon.

you have to program all 3 remotes at the same time.. if you don\'t then the one(s) you don\'t re-program will be left inoperable.. I didn\'t program one of my remotes the first time I did it and it was left inoperable so I had to do it all over again with all 3 remotes..

Hey Pearl, I am having same problem as you did on my 05. The remote was programmed without any problem, but I can\'t seem to program the key. Do you know what did Joe do to fix your problem? I asked one of the sevice advisors he said I can\'t program the key myself and will need the dealer to program it. He gave me a quote of $90 for programming.

Thanks.

[Xenon]

Just an update to anyone who\'s interested....

Pearl_Hatch found out his key was defective, which is why it didn\'t want to program to the car. Ido believe Joe replaced the key, and now it works fine.

Thanks Lawrence! For clearing it up for me. I didn\'t know someone asked me. My bad!

[Operator]

Is this available for MZ3\'s in the US?

[bluntman]

Yes, just ask for the Mazda6 flip key.

[Operator]

How would I go about getting the Key cut? Would I just buy everything here and program once I got it?

[bluntman]

The dealership would cut it for you. The programming instructions are in this thread.

[Skarbro]

Just picked up mine (thanks Joe!!). I was just looking at it and wondering how you get to the battery to change it??

[Skarbro]

One more question...

I was unable to get all 3 remotes programmed at the same time. Every time I programmed the third remote, it would deactivate one of the other two already programmed remotes. Is there a limit of 2 remotes that you can program?

[bluntman]

Some people were able to activate all 3 remotes...only 2 for me. No big deal though.

[majic]

Originally posted by bluntman

i thought it was a big deal since you need 2 remotes to program the 3rd one no? or am i getting my signals crossed? and if you lose one of the programmed ones you\'re .. umm.. how do i put it nicely ;)

EDIT: neverming.. 1 remote is ok.. what is said is just for the key..

[FLIPDADY]

Mine worked fine. I did all 3 in sequence and there was no problems.

[Skarbro]

Sorry guys, I have to ask again... Anyone have a clue how to change the battery? I know I will have to do it some day. I don\'t want to break the thing trying to change it.

EDIT: I just found what I was looking for in this thread:

Honestly, I don\'t see how that can be done. The receiver does not detect the trunk release signal.

[FLIPDADY]

You would also have to get a new trunk lock with an actuator to detect the signal and work with the factory keyless entry module.

It works on my 06. The only difference is that I can only program a total of 2 remotes, so one of my original remotes is now useless. I suspect that is the same for all 06\'s.

nice!!! thx a lot...!!

Sorry - I\'ve successfully programmed 3 remotes (the two originals and the flip) on my 06 - M3. Works like a charm. Did it as per the directions provided. All the beeps, flashes, locks etc happened when they should.

[Skarbro]

Well why can\'t I program more than 2? I know others have had this problem. Any patter to it?

Well what I did was program the new remote first. Upon programming it, one of the other remotes were de-programmed. So I re-programmed the one that was de-programmed and it de-programmed the new remote that I just programmed! This basically went back and forth a few times until I gave up.

[bluntman]

I think you have to do all 3 at once.

[Skarbro]

Originally posted by bluntman

Oh.. I guess I misread the directions. I have to do step 7 all at once for all 3? Cool. I\'ll try that later.

If it works, post it...then you can do mine.

[malam]

I have been using my flipkey for a couple of weeks now but two days ago my remote stops working intermittently. I occassionally get the buzzer in the car going on as if I had left the key in the ignition. Everytime this happens, the remote does not operate. Has anyone observe the same problem ? I may need to reprogramme but before I do this I would like to check if this has happened to anyone before and what was done to correct ir.

Thanks.:sarc

I occassionally get the buzzer in the car going on as if I had left the key in the ignition. Everytime this happens, the remote does not operate. Has anyone observe the same problem ? I may need to reprogramme but before I do this I would like to check if this has happened to anyone before and what was done to correct ir.

Thanks.:sarc

Thanks Majic. Is this a major job ? Is the solution also a permanent fix?

book an appointment.. be prepared to stay at the dealership for a while b/c the problem is INTERMITTENT so they might hand you the keys and say \"nothing wrong\"

they will probably have to order the part in for you..

Thanks again. I have booked an appointment for Tuesday next week and will leave the car with Mazda of TO for the day. This is very annoying ! This afternoon during my lunch break I had the problem again. It was very embarrasing when people see you fumbling with the key and the remote to get the car opened, like the car is not yours !

A Quick Update:

Left the car with Mazda of TO for the day. Problem fixed - it was the ignition switch as Majic suspected. Thanks to Stanley at Mazda of TO.

:D

Great to hear everything worked out. That was weird how your door chimed even with the key out of the ignition.

Has anyone had this happen to their flipkey... at first it ran out of batteries - the little LED would not light up when a button was pressed. Cracked it open, pulled out the battery and sure enough it was flat.
Just picked up a new battery, threw it in, and now the LED is blinking non-stop. Pressing the buttons has not effect on the LED or the doors...
I'm yet to try to reprogram the flipkey - the remote control part of it - but I'm just curious if any of you guys has something similar happen.

*Update*
After about an hour or two the blinking stopped and the remote started working again with out having to be reprogrammed. Perhaps that's "normal" behavior for changing a battery?

damn that key is hot.. on my want list!

Does anyone know if there are any differences between the 04-06 keys compared to the 07s? I believe I heard on another board that key on the 07 contains a chip and that a regular flipkey would not work. Can someone confirm it with their 2007 Mz3.

[FLIPDADY]

It will work, I cut a flip-key set-up for berrypride on her 07 hatch. The transmitter module reads 04-07 remotes.

[chu]

how much is it now? you have them in stock?

[Simkins]

i have a 2007 GS Sedan, bought two flip keys, both programmed and work.

[WildEmu]

Just dropped by MoT today and got a Flip Key from Joe. Got home and programmed it right away and it's working great!!

[saintjames7]

I keep meaning to buy one of those. Would like the Mazda6 wagon flip key though, that way I dont have a useless button for my hatch.

[WildEmu]

Too bad there isn't a way to make the trunk button work for the sedans!

I'm sorry for digging up this thread that was last dated in March but:

1. The link does not work anymore

2. Has anyone figured out how to configure trunk release on their flipkey?

[S.F.W.]

you can get the trunk release to work with the flip key. The catch is, it doesn't work via the trunk button, instead when you double tap the lock button it opens the hood.
As of yet, I haven't see a workaround to have the trunk button work.

[lamerking]

At least that is better than nothing... where can I get that programmed and how much will it cost?

[yearoftherat]

Talk to Joe @ MOT and he can hook you up

[asif9t9]

How about making the gas cap cover release with the key fob? I got out to fill up gas the other day, and walked all the way around the car to realize I forgot to pull the lever in the footwell. doh! How is that lever connected to the gas cap cover?

A very long cable

No one has talked about the panic button, does that work ok on the flip key?

[S.F.W.]

panic button does work.

[cwp_sedan]

The flip key is like $80 cut I think. You will have to program it to save some extra $$$. Took me about 5 min to do so. Just ask Joe for the instructions.

Not even on the sedan... ?

Nope

Sorry to ressurect a dead thread, but I figure it fits better here than anywhere else.

I purchased the mazdaspeed3 flip key for my 3, and contacted the dealer about having it cut (I haven't picked up my car yet). The dealer told me it'd be about $80 to cut and program the key. When I told them that I would program it myself, they said that it wasn't possible... and I quote

"our key has to be programed with the start codes for the car. Mazda will only give the start codes once the vehicle is hooked up to our computers ON LINE. Then they email them to us. And we program the key. Takes 1 hour.
You will need a mazda dealer for this 100%."

Now this sale person has been very good so far, so I would just like to think that he is misinformed... can anybody confirm that this procedure still works on the 08 models? Thanks!

I'm sure it's the same as ever other year but there is a chance they could have changed it. Joe cut my key and I programmed the key and remote in less than 5 min. Here are the instructions on how to do it.

[FLIPDADY]

You will only need to take the key in to be programmed if you lose one. If you have 2 originals then you can follow the procedures shown above.

[Spritzup]

And I assume that with a new car, I get 2 programmed keys....

[freecity]

How much to cut a blank key? would anyplace be able to do it?
