Step-by-Step Programming Guide for Your 2007 Mazda 6 Key Fob
Before you begin, ensure you have all the necessary key fobs you wish to program at hand. This programming sequence will program all remotes you have, and any previously programmed remotes not included in this session will no longer function.
Step 1: Prepare Your Mazda 6
Begin by getting inside your 2007 Mazda 6 and ensuring all doors, including the trunk or hatch, are completely closed. Once inside, sit in the driver’s seat. It’s crucial to leave the driver’s side door open throughout the initial steps of the programming process.
Step 2: Enter Programming Mode
This step requires you to cycle the ignition and door in a specific manner to enter the programming mode. First, insert your key into the ignition. Turn the ignition from the OFF position to the ON position and then back to the OFF position a total of three times. Remember, one cycle is from ON to OFF. After the ignition cycling, proceed to open and close the driver’s side door three times.
Step 3: Confirm Programming Mode
If you have successfully completed the previous steps, your 2007 Mazda 6 will indicate that it has entered programming mode. You will hear the vehicle cycle the door locks automatically. This lock cycling is your confirmation that the vehicle is now ready to learn the new key fob programming.
Step 4: Program Your Key Fob(s)
Take the first key fob you want to program. Press the LOCK button on the fob twice. Upon pressing the lock button twice, the door locks on your Mazda 6 should cycle again, confirming that this key fob has been successfully programmed.
If you only have one key fob to program, after the locks cycle to confirm, press the LOCK button twice, two additional times. The door locks will cycle after each double press, confirming successful programming each time.
If you have a second key fob to program, after programming the first one, immediately take the second key fob and press the LOCK button twice on it. Again, the door locks will cycle to confirm successful programming of the second remote.
For those with a third key fob, repeat the process immediately after programming the second. Press the LOCK button twice on the third remote, and wait for the door locks to cycle, confirming its programming.
Step 5: Exit Programming Mode
Once you have programmed all desired key fobs, the programming process is complete. No further steps are required to exit the programming mode. Simply test each key fob to ensure it correctly locks and unlocks your doors.
