Mazda procedures vary by make and model - To program a key you must have 2 working keys otherwise it must be done by a dealer or locksmith. Remotes require one working key and procedures can be found in owners manuals which you can download from the Mazda site.
Here are some notes from the web:
NOTE: There is nearly ALWAYS separate programming for keys & remotes, even if they are one unit. One Exception is newer Chrysler all in one units which are programmed as one unit. These can not be self programmed.
All SMART keyless for remotes - Nissan - Lexus - Toyota - Hyundai - All can NOT be self programmed.
Audi - Nearly All require special equipment for programming for keys & remotes.
BMW - Hit and miss on programming. The keys can NOT be self programmed.
Buicks - Erratic. La Crosse - NO Onboard self Programming Available
Cadillac - Most from 1998 to 2000 require special equipment for programming -
Except Escalade which can be self done. ALL CTS - NO self Programming
Dodge & Chrysler Products - Many require one existing & working remote to program additional units.
If you have no working unit, then special equipment is required to get these done.
There is no "Other" programming available to help you if you have NO existing remote.
Chrysler Crossfire - can NOT be self done - key or remote.
1997 1998 1999 Dakota & Durango - No programming Available.
Dodge Charger - NO self programabilty on board.
All Chrysler combo units, meaning key and remote in one, can NOT be self programmed.
Ford - Nearly ALL KEY programming requires 2 working keys. If you have just one key, You will NOT be able to program additional keys on your own. Nearly ALL Ford Remotes CAN be self programmed. Fords are generally the easiest of all to program.
GM - HHR, Colorado, Cobalt, SSR, Uplander, Canyon, and 2001 & newer Malibu & Malibu Max. These require special equipment for programming. Circle Plus Keys CAN be self programmed.
Some GM Products have a split year whereby part a year may be programmable,
and part may not. There can also be two or more different remotes for some models in the same year.
Hummer H3 2006 and newer
Honda Ridgeline - NO Self Programming
Hyundai Tiburon - All Years require special equipment for programming.
Hyundai Elantra - 2006 and Newer are not self programmable.
Tucson - NO On Board Programming
Jaguar - Most newer vehicles require special equipment for programming. Model S definitely can NOT be self programmed.
Jeep - Grand Cherokees from 1997 to Present require special equipment for programming Cherokees from 1997 to 2001 require special equipment for programming
Land Rover - Nearly ALL require special equipment for programming
Lincoln - LS Model - Some years may require special equipment for programming
We definitely DO have 2003 to 2006 AVAILABLE for self programming.
Mercedes Benz - Some require special equipment for programming for keys & remotes. Many MB dealers are uncooperative & will give you a gigantic run around, and tales abound. We know for a fact that many can be done.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK !
Oldsmobile : 2000 & Up Aurora NO Self programming
Pontiac - G5, G6, 2001 Grand Am & later, Grand Prix 2004 & Later, 2006 & Later Montana Pontiac Solstice - NO On Board Programming
Saab - All Years require special equipment for programming for keys & remotes
Toyota - Prius Silver Logo Smart unit is NOT self programmable.
Volvo - All except early 850, require special equipment for programming
Another case of a lot of hogwash flying around. Some need a code, others DO NOT.
However, some dealers will tell you differently as they do not want to let you off cheap.
