How do you reprogram the keyless remote for a 2001 Mazda MPV?

Answer 1

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.

Seems silly, but it works. Just did it!

I am delighted to confirm it really does - and so simple. Thank you.

I, too, can confirm that it works; just did it for a 2002 Mazda MPV. (The local battery store did not know this trick but recommended an internet search because different manufacturers have different tricks; often a key fob won't work immediately after a battery replacement.)

This worked for my 2003 Mazda MPV also

Worked on my 2004 MPV! Thank you!
