FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH THE FLIP KEY

[MAZDA Kitten]

....... what is the point of the red LED light when you press button?
Is there a reason for it otherwise if not... its totally useless.

Thought of the day.

To tell you if there is either no battery or the remote is screwed?

[Skarbro]

I remember a vague post about someone saying that it will indicate when the battery is low. But I think that's BS. It's just for show.

*Grabs steering wheel to get thread back on the road*

I have flip key with the light as well. I remember reading on M3F that the light is an indicator of the key's battery power. Which begs the question....how do you open the key to get at the battery? I really don't believe it to be true.

By the way MAZDA KITTEN hits like a girl.

gotta love it.. so when the battery runs out.. the key stops working and the LED no longer turns on.. brilliant 8)

Opening it the first time is a PITA. After that, it gets easier. Pop open the key. In the slot there is a little tab. You have to push down on it with a small pointy object to release the key half from the remote half. The rest is easy.

Seems to me that this would be a useful feature in general, just to give an indication that the button is being pushed or held.

On your cars, don't the passenger doors open if you hold the button down? Having the light lit will indicate that the button is being pressed, right?

This might sound trivial, and my issues may come from the craptastic nature of the GM keyless entry system, but on my car you have to press the button twice to open both doors. Once for the driver's door, then a second time for the rest of them. This would be fine if something happened every time I thought I pressed the button, but either the fob or the receiver is complete garbage so half the time, I'll press the button twice and one or both doors will still be locked. Same goes for popping the trunk. Sometimes I really have to mash the button to make it work. If a little light came on, at least I'd know the fob had acknowledged that I was pressing a button.

Stupid fobs. :D

Really? Hmm... someone I know recently got a car where you just hold the button down and the rest of the doors open.

Seems to me it would be nicer to walk toward the car just holding the button (and seeing the light to know you're pressing it hard enough) rather than my current method of walking toward the car repeatedly mashing the button as hard as I can with the hopes that when my wife and I get there, both doors will be open. :D

hmmm....

I just tested my flip-key and if I hold the button down the front doors unlock and then the rear/hatch unlocks. The same process hold's true if I press the button to lock. I just hold it down long enough and everything locks up and the "ass-daisy" of a horn lets me know it's done. Before this post I treated my flip-key as if it was like the original fob. Pressing twice to lock and unlock.

but our FOBs are jay dee emm .. mine's been fine and the double click is quite responsive.. i can unlock the gf's door before she rips the handle off ;D

Oh man! That "GF" comment was too funny. True but funny.

;D ;D ;D ;D

fugg.. for real!??! maybe i should upgrade then :)

[Cardinal Fang]

I'm not kidding. The directions I got from Joe at MOT only tell you how to program it. Doesn't really tell you these details. I just assumed I was a better looking FOB with the flip-key portion.

[MAZDA Kitten]

The original FOB does the same thing tho

[majic]

you mean press (driver door opens) and HOLD (rest of the doors + hatch opens)????

[Cardinal Fang]

If MAZDA KITTEN chimes in with a joke about how men are so stupid because they never read the instructions, I'm going to ban her.

[MAZDA Kitten]

The original remote that comes with the 3 is the same as the GM remote. You have to push twice.

The Flip-key remote has a "repeat" feature. If you push and hold the button, it will repeat until you let go. So by pushing and holding the button for about 1 second, it will open all the doors. ;)

I was wondering when someone will do this in response to maj and MK's Polish chats.* :D





i can unlock the gf's bra before she rips my pants off ;D


You go, tiger!

I figure my post caused a bunch of people to figure out they could open all the doors just by holding down the button. Now maybe I won't get banned as an inciteful noob for my comments in the noob section that seem to have hit a nerve. ;D

I think you are giving yourself too much credit. The repeat feature is so sensitive, that I'm sure most everyone already knows about it. ;)

Either you arent offened, or you missed the caption skillfully provided by majic.

Nope. Look at the first page (quickly... before some changes it...). Even the site administrator just discovered it due to my post.

Woot for self-importance! :D
