Technical Area Electrics & ICE

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,

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.
