Key registration using SST (WDS or equivalent)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Additional keys can be programmed without having to erase the key codes already programmed.
If 8 keys have already been programmed, 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 )
