I am new to the forum, and a new Mazda owner. Just bought a used 2006 MazdaSpeed6. It came with one "Valet" key, and one "Advanced" key. The advanced key battery seems to be good as there is a red indicator light that illuminates when a button is pressed.
The car does not recognize the key in anyway. I can not lock, unlock, or start the car without actually inserting a key.
Does someone know the proper way to reset/reprogram the key to the car??
Also, since I only received one "Advanced" key, does anyone sell them?
Some background: I went to the dealer today and one service rep tried placing the key in the ignition, then he turned it on and off 3 times, then he pressed the button on the car-door frame 3 times. This button is used to indicate that the car door is open, not to lock the car.
The car must have had the battery disconnected as the rear windows were not operating with the drivers control panel. I already found that fix in the manual, and elsewhere in this forum.
The dealer said a new advanced key would cost approx 250, plus service fee for programming - ouch!
