I saw some instructions on the forum for reprogramming the remote on a Mazda 6 - looks like you have to do the hokey pokey...LOL

Anyone have any instructions for reprogramming the remote on a 2000 MPV?

Thanks

1) Get in MPV with ignition key, and all fobs for the vehicle.
2) Close all doors and remove ignition key if it is in ignition.
3) Open driver's door
Note: Steps 4 and 5 must be completed in under thirty seconds.
4) Repeat the following three times
a) Insert ignition key
B) Turn ignition switch to on and then to lock
c) Remove ignition key
5) Repeat the following three times
a) Close driver's door
B) Open driver's door
Locks should all lock and then unlock within a couple of seconds--you'll hear the clicking sound
6) Press any button two times within five seconds on fob being programmed.
Locks should again lock and unlock
7) Repeat step 6 for all other fobs being programmed. When done with last fob, wait a few seconds and then you should be done with the reprogramming. Each fob should now work for this vehicle.

I have confirmed that the procedure posted by the_saint above also works on the 1996 MPV, but not the 1993 MPV.

The 1993 MPV uses an IR signal, while the later models use an RF signal so it is not necessary to point the transmitter at the receivers in the car. Nice improvement, and the programming instructions must have changed too. Probably not much though.

So, anyone know the recipe for the 1993? KeylessRide Home sells instructions for <$15, but says it needs an operating remote. Don't know why, and don't know if mine is good. It used to work but stopped. Replaced battery, but nogo ever since.

Who has a reference to this info? There was a lot of forum correspondence in the past to help with the newer models. Hope it returns. I'll be grateful.
