remote start for 06 mazda 3

Ok I have a 2006 Mazda 3 with an Autopage rs-622 and a pkford xk04 bypass. When it was put in my car I didn't have a second key to program it to start at the time. Now I have the key, and would like to finish myself just don't really know how. I can't get anyone to help around here they just want me to pay them. The door locks work good just won't start.

Copied from the instructions for you: 1- Turn the first valid key to "ON" position, until the security light goes OFF. Put the key OFF and remove from ignition. 2- Within 5 seconds, turn the second valid key to "ON" position until security light goes OFF. Put the key OFF and remove from ignition. 3 - For automatic transmission vehicle, start the vehicle with remote starter, the module is programmed.

I tried that and it didn't do anything. My car still won't start.

Can you be a little more vague? It didn't do anything? Do you know where the security light is? Is it turning solid? What happens when you try to remote start it?

Where did you get your key programmed? Was it done at the dealership or a locksmith? If your key was "cloned" then you won't be able to program that bypass

I know for a fact that the XK04 is really unstable with newer Ford/Mazda vehicules, make sure you have the latest firmware flashed into the module......your led on the XK04 should be flashing at the same time your security light is flashing in the car, if not...you don't have the right TX / RX.  Also make sure your orange wire of the XK04 is taped on the cars ignition wire.  I use to install the XK04 but changed to the iDataLink ADS-TB which works perfect..much more reliable.  Anyways, the easiest way to program the XK04 is to insert the first key without turning the ignition switch....jump the ignition wire with a jumper and wait for the led on the module to shut off then do the same with the second key...then remove the second key and jump the ignition again and ground the brown wire (out when running) and wait for the led to turn off on the module....your module is programmed.

Second, the instructions probably don't mention it but both keys have to be master keys(black). A gray valet key will not ever get you into immobilizer programming mode. Third, I've run into this with quite a few XK04s. Power the ignition up with each key separately, activate the remote starter quickly enough, and you get the stupid flashing theft light and no crank. If that's the case and you're using 2 non-cloned master keys, try going through the programming cycle again. After the remote start has powered up and presumably the theft light is flashing, wait one second or so and then hit the brake to shut it off. Once you've done this, turn the ignition on with a key until the theft light goes out. Turn it off and attempt to remote start - in my experience everything starts to work normally at this point. I've never read anything that says why this should happen, but I've yet to get a complaint and some of these were done years ago, so it's a good tip as far as I'm concerned.C Renner's Auto Electronix

I got the key form a Mazda dealership and they did the programing. As far as I can tell I've the keys programed to the bypass the light flashes with the theft light on the dash, but it still doesn't do anything when I try to start. Is there any programing I need to do on the rs-622 starter that I need to do be for it will start?

Make sure your brown wire of the XK04 is taped onto the "Ground when running wire" of the remote starter...+12v, ground, ignition, TX, RX....it should work unless the ground when running does not work.Sylvain Rochon
