Hey so I've been watching your vids, keep up the work, you have a nack for it. Anyhow, I have a 2004 rx8, and the previous owner had a switchblade style keyfob just like in this video. And it starts the car and opens the trunk both manually. But they key fob buttons itself doesnt work. I put a new battery and it lights up perfect when I push the buttons, and tried to program it. Well when I do the on off 3x, open close 3x, my door locks lock and unlock 2 or 3x instead of just once. And i still do the unlock button 2x but it never makes the doors lock or unlock and it becomes a unsuccessful program. What do you think? Have you run into this at all in your programming days? Thx again
Thank you, Ray and Whitney Automotive. Excellent instructions. Worked perfectly. Replaced two switchblade keys. Best video in my search for advice on this topic.
My remote hasn't been working for some time now - really annoying with only one lock on these modern cars. Read on a forum that corrosion can build up on the contacts on the board. But I simply couldn't get the cover off to check! In all other videos it looks like they just pry on the thing for a moment and it magically opens. Your hint to turn the screwdriver really helped, it popped right open. Scrubbed away the corrosion and remote's working again like a charm. $0 fix.

Thank you for this video. It seems simple once you know how to do it, but I didn't want to break anything during the learning process. Battery changed out in just a minute or two.
Thank you Ray. You saved me a lot of money. It worked perfectly on my two Miata FOBs. I particularly like the suggestion to depress the button on the door jam instead of unnecessary door opening and closing. Art
My remotes have not worked in years for my 06 MX-5,,,, I thought I needed to reprogram it so watch that video,,,, and both of the batteries were dead as a door nail,,, Watch your video on changing the battery,,,, works like a champ,,, thank you very much,,, actually you saved me a lot of money,,, so IOU one,,, thanks a lot buddy
Ray - Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of money with this video. I was told that in order to replace the battery that I would have to get the reprogram the key. Yup, I didn't need to have that done. So thanks again
The European-version remote keys looks 99% the same (but they dont have red button)... By the european version key is the first step the same, but the second step is a little bit different... there are two tiny holes, where the flat screw driver goes.
Thank yo for this! Had to go store to store to finally find the battery at a watch kiosk in the mall- great walk through though! Works like a charm now.
Hello Ray, Very Informative! I really appreciated that you covered potential trouble that you can come across attempting the procedure. I for one, am always concerned about what can go wrong when doing something like this! What would you recommend for cleaning gunk out of there? My key opens inconsistently. More often than not, I have to pull it out. I imagine WD40 could damage some of the electrical components in there...
Hi Ray, Thank you for all the very informative videos. I have a Mazda 3 2010 and the little tab you mentioned to be careful with, broke . What is my best bet here. I can purchase the fob shell/ case, but is it possible for me to actually make that switch myself? what do you recommend. I mean change the inside- circuit board and actual metal key to the new shell. Thanks
Thank you! Very clear, simlple, and informative...im trying to find a bad ground (well i think its a bad ground) on my 2013 Mazda 6i.... battery is strong, but dosnt even try to turn over.. just a click and nothing else... do you have any tricks or suggestion?
Video suggestion: Flip switchblade cleanup. Because mine got clogged like hell with dust. (removing the logo, dissassemble the key part - not the electronic part-, put remove all pieces, clean up, wd40, re-assemble with the springs, etc...). I've managed to do it (thanks Mazda, there's little notch in the plastic for the springs. That ease our life).
Hi my friend I have problem with my Mazda 2 TS I'm trying to start the car but it's not starting there is a lock sign coming up what should I do please
With the switchblade keyfob and programming does that require 2 keys or a Mazda Dealership key to program or can that be done by doing the keyless entry programming procedure? (Or are they different)
Hi Whitney please what is the chance of 2 CX7 Mazda keys going flat the same time please? Our spare has been hanging on the key rake for the time we have owned our car. The car started locking randomly and now stopped completely so I thought the spare would work ok but no chance. They light up but very faintly, should the light be bright as please. Thank you very much
i have the 2013 mazda 3 with the retractable key...just like the one in this video, how can i program my key so my doors can lock when i exceex 20km/hr?
Is it easy to replace the key 🔑 (metal part only) removing it out of the top plastic part and swapping it with a new cut key easily as I got a key sent in mail and it’s wrong and their sending a new key, but their only sending the metal key not the top plastic housing it flicks out of (Mazda3, 2006)????????
+Michael Lockhart Thanks! I hope you can subscribe and watch all the videos as I am continuously posting new videos. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

hi there , I have mazda5 2007 tried starting it today it wouldn't turn over. the battery was dead when i opened the doors with the key The alarm went off when I boosted so I am thinking it could be the theft alarm that has been activated. any suggestions on how to deactivate the alarm. Thank you
+WhitneyAutomotive Hey dude, thanks for all your videos. They've been great help. I got a 2006 Mazda 6 06 - 2.3L I got a check engine light shooting me a P0126 code, insf coolant temp for stable operation... My temp gauge is dead centre, recently I took the radiator cap off then started the engine cold, the light went off all day, then came back on next day, then got up for work and it's been off for the past few days. Do u think my problem is fixed :S I herd it cud be the t stat stuck open or closed. Or the ect sensor
Hi, I did this, however the circuit board came off its compartment as well as the buttons and now I am unable to re-assemble it properly. When I try to put the part together the key only lock in place on the top part, and the bit where the battery is remains loose. Help Please
+Brenda Acosta Did you program it to your car? If it's around 2007 model should be 1.) Open car door , 2.) turn car on-off 3 times 3.) close-open door 3 times after this you should see and hear the locks on the car lock and unlock, last step would be to press the unlock button twice in a rapid manner. He has a video up about this currently you should check it out.
