Mazda 5 Remote Key distance - 11/28/2006 1:33:18 PM    MazdaNJ   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/28/2006 Status: offline I thought I was the only one but I found a co worker of mine that has the same Mazda 5 and she was also having problems when trying to lock the car from a longer distance. I would say 20 to 30 feet I couldn't lock the car even if I put it on my chin.( They said this works but not on my case. :-) ) Every time I would complain about it in the dealership, they would give me this bull answer like, "it depends on where you at sometime there interferance on the radio" something like that. I have 2 newer cars that has stock keyless entry and they are working fine. It's annoying when you kinda forget locking your car and you already walk 30 , 40 feet away your car and then get closer to the car just to lock it. Are there ore users out there having the same problem? Post #: 1

Anyway, as I was saying, we had the same thing happen.. We picked up our Mazda 5 last February, 2006. It wasn't long before remote worked intermittantly, sometimes leaving car, but not upon returning. Last servicing I complained to service manager and he has ordered a new one. I did try changing the battery as well, but no dice. I will let you know if prob. exists with new RC. (in reply to MazdaNJ) Post #: 2

Try pressing the unlock button close to a phone when there is someone near to the car with a mobile (In a call with your phone) Amazingly the locks will unlock. It sounds unbelievable, but I tried it... I unlocked a car 200 miles away!!! _____________________________ So you think you can tell? (in reply to mazda5momma) Post #: 3
