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.

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

Maybe re-try the whole procedure. Maybe you missed something?

Just got mine last week. No problem with the programming although it took me two tries for the keys. Worked flawlessly.

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.

I think you have to do all 3 at once.

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.

[bluntman]

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

All at the same time.

Sweet. It worked. I now have 3 working remotes.

Maybe you were just too excited?

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.arc

faulty ignition switch

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.

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?
