Konnic, Even though the car is a sedan, I needed a remote for a hatch in order to complete the process. Now that I have 2 remotes that have the FCC ID for a hatch I have had no issues with the car.

FCC ID for the ECU? My Dad is in the same with his remotes and the illustrated steps. He has a 2006 Mazda3 S sedan that he rebuilt after a light front end hit. Due to this situation the car came with 1 key with the security chip in it but no remotes. He consulted with a Mazda dealer to get...

Lately, my door chime has been going off when I open the door, with the ignition off, lights off and keys in my hand. If I put the key back in the ignition, turn it to ACC. and then back off, it will stop the chime, but I am curious is anyone else has had this happen? Since I live in New...

My service manager said the exact same thing as above. The key, in his mind, is whether or not the stock configuration will reproduce the problem. I always ask in person not call about any mods that I plan on making & I have yet to have my dealer say no. Of course, I always bring baked goods...

So as a follow-up, I have been in contact with K&N and they are willing to replace my bent SRI tube for another one. I have been in contact with a member of their tech. services via email and telephone. Once the tube arrives I am going to put it on the shelf until next spring. But all in all I...

I am not all worried about it anyway. I really enjoy this car and if the is the worst thing that is going to happen to it, then I think I can find a way to live with it.

I am only noticing it as the mornings get a little cooler. This morning, as Tsunami can probably attest to, it was 51 when I left my house, and I didn't hear it today. However, Monday when it was 29 and I had to scrape my windows to get going, I heard it... I hear it coming from around the...

I can't offer any ideas, but I just noticed this happening in my '06 3 Sport. I hear it when shift from 1st - 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd.

I have been contemplating discussing this with K&N but I know that they won't refund my money. This is because, when I discovered that the filter could just fall off, I made an effort to tighten up the hose clamp around the filter enough to get me through another day. However, when I took the...

The K&N is gone and I am back to stock. This whole situation has just frosted my b_lls. I have to admit, after working on cars for many years, that this car is a pleasure to work on. I have found that plastic pop rivets with the screw heads are the easiest to take out of any other car I have...

No, I don't get back as often as I would like to. I still have family in the area but they tend to like to come visit me because where I live has different things to do than the Green Mtns. As for the CAI, I kind of wish I had just gone for the Sirius radio upgrade instead of the K&N. It would...

Let me put it this way, I don't get back to Al's that often anymore but I remember when it was in Essex by the train tracks. I also miss Cactus Pete's too. As for the K&N SRI, I think I am going to ditch it. One of the things that I discovered last night was that the filter does not stay on...

Ayuh, another Maine-iac. One who knows B-town, VT very well. As for an update, I may have found the issue. I disassembled the entire SRI this evening and found that the lower end of the SRI tube has been pushed in so that it was out of round. I wrapped both the inside and outside with some rags...

I am in ME so the heat is not going to be an issue, at least this time of the year. I am going to give the ECU a good reset and check around the MAF to see if there might be a leak or some way to seal it better. I am also going to triple check all of my fasteners to see if there isn't any place...

Excellent. I will check the MAF wires as well because I was able to reconnect the harness and reclip the harness clips to the batt. box while still keep a little slack. The wiring is not yanked taut or is stretched or anything, but it could be a looser. I want to check the seal around the MAF...

The only thing I did not do is reset the ECU. I assumed that disconnecting the battery would take care of this for me. How do I reset the ECU? Yes to the connectors, hoses, & sensors. The first thing I did was disconnect my battery cable before kicking off the whole process. One thing that I...

Sorry for the Newbie question, but I can't seem to find any other reference to my issue. I just installed a K&N Typhoon SRI onto my '06 3 5 door and now I get a "hiccup" during acceleration below 3K. Due to past experience I am inclined to believe that the vehicle is running lean but I am not...
