Advanced Key problems
I've had my '09 rx8 since July 09 and I've bee recently getting some issues with the advance key. Sometimes it won't open the car, or if it does open the car, it won't start the engine. Anyone else facing the same problem?

I find mine almost never works if it's anywhere near my iphone or my wallet. (fat stack of credit cards lol)
It uses low freq radio waves (i think) so anything electronical or magnetic may distort the signal.
Your manual tells you how to change the battery if that's not the problem.

Ha ha, I'll make it quick.... Well, this big nor'easter came through Va in Nov of last year.... Storm surge rose sea level like 20'. Wasn't prepared (no idea what a nor'easter was. Lol. Hell, still not certain ;-P) and the insurance agency wrote them off as 'flooded' since water came up over the dash....
Now that I think about it, I used the wrong term on this forum, where we're more likely to experience a much different meaning of the word...lol.

P.S. If it is the antennas it may that a while to get parts, most dealers do not keep them in stock. my 8 was in the dealer for 9 days, but they gave me a 3 as a loaner.

I usually wear jeans, and put the key in the "little" pocket. I never have issues. I also got Mazda to flash my key for AutoLock, and it's great... Especially when you go to meets.

Hey guys,
So for the delayed response. I took it to the dealer and they said the key was messed up and they gave me a new key and reprogrammed the key. That's after they charged me for batteries just to see if that was the probably. I probably should look into getting some spare batteries for the key.
