Hello there,
My wife just got a 2006 rx8, and the Mazda dealer guy said that the signal is weak in the remote, and she needs to get a new one. I'm sure I don't need to remind you guys that it's $177 for the remote, $50 dollars for the key, and $50 to program it, which according to this gentleman is going to take about 3 hours (it's Mock's Ford they don't know much about mazdas)
He said it's weak because the remote is old, because it's the original that came with the car...but it's an 06!!
Does this seem legit? Could the remote be dying? Is there a way to program it myself, or do I have to suck it up and spend the $277?
Thanks for the help
Craig
