Mk2.5 Remote Fob (Help Please)

Hey,

I’ve just bought my first mx5 (2005 MX5 1.8 Icon) and i’m loving it.

However, there is a small issue that is bugging me. I noticed that i don’t have a remote fob to lock and unlock the car, yet all the online information says the ICON model comes will remote central locking. 

If this is the case, were can i get a replacement fob, and what is the model number of the fob that i need. I would prefer to source one myself, and program it myself. i have the instructions to program the fob to the car, just need to make sure that i get the right fob.

Also, i have no owner manual. Is there somewhere that i can get my hands on one!

I’d like to know about the remote fob too. I didn’t get one either.

I downloaded the user guide from Mazda Canada. Ok it’s left hand drive, but it’s essentially the same car.

Click on the ‘Parts & Services’ menu at the top -> ‘Owner Info’ and then ‘Owner’s manuals’ and in your case, ‘2005 MX-5 Miata’.

 hi potoc,  you have the same model as i have,  it should have come with two keys, (chipped), and one remote unit , number  41703, i made enquiries about getting a spare remote from mazda,  over a oner , plus the programing of same, total about £130,  so i left it, and made a mental note, to be very very carefull not to loose the one i have,

was it a garage you bought the car from, and could you not go back to the vendor, and ask, because i know that there is a ready market for them, and they are snapped up on E-bay regularly. and at the same time ask about the instruction manual, number  8T85-EE-O4G, FOR A RECENT MOTOR LIKE YOU HAVE BOUGHT, IT SHOULD STILL HAVE THESE ITEMS WITH THE CAR

good luck to you, and let us know how you get on,  p/s  how do i get the re-programing instructions from you, in case i get lucky, and buy one on E for a tenner  ha  ha  regards  leemarb   p/s  what colour icon you got,

 p/s  and dont lock ya keys in the boot, dont laugh, cos it has happened to most of us   =

Thanks scooter for that link, that manual probably is the same for the uk.

I’ll give the dealership a phone that i got the car from, they are already fixing my stereo that they broke after someone connected the battery up the wrong way. So i will say to them about the remote fob and if they can get me a manual. Hopefully they will sort something out.

I’ve got the Chilli Orange Version, just to stand out. I’ve PM you the instructions, i’m not sure if i can post them on here or not.

 

hi potuk,i managed to obtain a spare remote fob for my  2.5 last week, i was a bit nervouse following the instructions that you gave me,but at second attempt,BINGO  transfered code,so easy,BUT no chance without your instructions…

once again thanks for your help,

 Hi,

Do you still have these instructions for re-programming the fob? I’ve just purchased a 2003 Nevada and the fob didnt work. Changed the battery, no good.
