Hi guys,

I just picked up my 2006 Mazda 3 GT Sport in winning blue!:headbang I comes pretty much fully loaded, except for leather interior. I got it at a used car dealership for 8700 tax in, with 89028km, 5spd, no spec of rust! The car looks beautiful!

On the other hand, in came with a remote start that the previous owner put on, but the dealer didn't know how it worked. It is from www.autostart.ca, model AS-1775. I found the user guide, and have followed it step-by-step to try and get the car into "Ready Mode", so that I can use the remote starter, however, on the last step of "Ready Mode", after the car locks and engine shuts off, 4 flashes come on, which I diagnosed as a "Brake Shutdown" according to the user guide. Any clue as to how I can fix this and get my remote starter working? Any help is appreciated. Let me know if you need any clarification, pics, etc..

Thanks in advance,

JP

No rust on an 06? That's luck then since most of all the others are rusting :P

Welcome!!

And a remote starter on a 5spd is odd lol.. Maybe the problem is the car has to be in neutral to start, to avoid starter-starting it and the car roll away on you lol

It's not odd at all. 5-speed starter has been around for years.

There is a specific sequence you have to do before turning off the motor. Something along the lines like...
(1) engage the clutch
(2) Press a button on the remote fob
(3) turn off motor
(4) put in gear
...or something like that.

Again, check with one of our sponsors to see if they can figure it out.
