Key registration using SST (WDS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Additional keys can be registered without having to erase the key codes already registered.
If 8 keys have already been registered, this procedure cannot be used to register a key. To register a key under this condition, it is necessary to first erase all the key codes. (See KEY REPLACEMENT )
