2011 mazda 3 dball problems

When remote starter is on a second push of the button should unlock.

So to reccap if pressing the button one time starts and dosen't cause the dball to exit programming the a second press while running will unlock which will change the setting, if not then disconnect the GWR so the starter dosen't cause the dball to exit programming mode and see if the settings for the dball change. You may need to still press the button twice while the remote start is trying to start the vehicle to get the unlock, with the GWR unhooked. As the GWR enables the dball to bypass the security.

I'm running d2d so I'm not using the gwr per the xpresskit diagram . Check it out 2011 Mazda 3 non smart key . Installation 5 d2d. It does cause the Dball to exit programming mode .

Most would reccomend against doing D2D with the DBALL, because there are top many problems. W2W is the perferred way.

The only other way that I can think of is to put both the the Viper and the DBALL into programming mode at the same time, when using D2D .Then when your done with the DBALL, go back into the viper and change the setting that may have changed to what it was as default(Menu 1 Feature 1-Horn honk pulses=off). Otherwise a Bitwriter is the next step.

Ordered a PKall old school doodie seems to work alot better. Did take long and wired it in and it all works. DBALL is junk.

The dball is a new platform that still has issues and bugs that need to be worked out. As for the old school stuff I use them too and have zero problems with them and they also has more functions per vehicle application then the dball most of the time.

Works great going old school thats for sure. Much more reliable.

Now I am getting 5 parking light flashes when trying to remote start. Dont understand cause no one is hitting the brake. ANY help??

Is the brake connection data or hardwired to the vehicle? It sounds like there is an incorrect signal on the brake wire.Kenny
