I tried already. Its call shoekey and they cannot do it!

 

oh, its called shoekey? not the original shukey?

anyway, since they cun do it, might have to approach those well-versed in electronics to program that remote.....

 

Sorry its shukey and they cannot do it.

 

i tot they can, cos the banner outside put many different types of car alarms remote......

did they give u any other advice????

 

They can't becos the 2 remote (original and retractable) cannot communicate!! Noemally the new remote must be able to detect the original remote freq(?) to clone. In this case, the retractable remote cannot detect anything!!!
He recommend doing it in Taiwan. They shld have more sophiscated machine hahaha. His machine comes from M'sia.

u shld try... no point letting ur $300 go down the drain....

 

Thanks coupe07, i will go down to try too.

 

Hi

Tks. Pse post ur result. Waiting eagerly.

 

Hey guys,

You should check with zavhan. He already got his done and it works well too.

 

Thanks RX8_666

Zavhan, your car is PI or MM? I know that PI cars work fine, but me n EBS experiece problems with the lock and unlocking of the doors. Please give me a call. PM u my details.
Thanks

 

His 8 is from PI...

 

Ya correct. His 8 is from PI. But if I m not wrong, he got his key europe. Can clarify with him.

 

yup his is a PI mannual

 

Bad news abt the key. Called up Autokey and speak to Kelvin abt the problem. He claim that MM cars may not come with the immobiliser and is not equip with RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) control module. Therefore the remote was not able to be programmed.
In the specs list of MM, it claims that the car comes with immobiliser !!
Think i will go down to Autokey and let them check it out.

 

U mean MM Rx8 may not comes with the mmobiliser?
Can double confirm and if it is true, we could take legal action against MM for giving false information.

 

Dun worry, once i found out i will post to let u guys knw too.

 

Whats this remote keyless entry? My PI 8 dun have immobilizer as well; but the key and remote can be programmed without a glitch. Not sure what this RKE is....

 

I'm pretty sure the MM 8s have the immobilizer, but we could always check for sure by spending a few dollars to duplicate a key and try to start the engine with it.

As for the remote keyless entry control module, I'm confused... if our cars don't come with it, then how does our original Mazda remote lock/unlock the door then?? Hmm...

 

XtremeRev, doesn't sound like Kelvin at Autokey knows what he's talking about. All MM 8's come with immobiliser and keyless remote entry. It's something to do with the frequency of the unit that's different from the retractable key lock/unlock frequency, that's what is causing the issues here. Seems the retractable key can't be programmed with the same frequency as the standard remote so it doesn't work. The retractable key may still start the car, but only because it's able to bypass the immobilser.

Watoke, dun worry bro and no need to take legal action. Just look for the flashing red light LED in the instrumentation panel, that's the engine immobiliser in action

 

Genesis, i agree wif you. I spoke to my SE and he also made the same claim. I was also wondering if there is no RKE, than how were we able to use the default remote. I will go down to Autokey tomorrow to check it out. Thanks guys

 

:p yeah, there's this flashing logo of "a car with a key in it" on the instrumentation panel ..so tat the immobiliser :p tot was some kind of key entry on standby :D
Thanks Gen !

 

Went down Autokey yesterday, they are not able to program the key. But he was convinced that the car came with immboliser The frequency of the remote dun match the original remote.... sigh.. looks like $300 is going down the drain.
EBS any updates from RX8garage.net?

 

hey guys, i am getting the JDM model. will that work on it? if it doesn't work with your car and you want to sell it, let me know, i'd take it.
