Hello! I am the (mostly) happy owner of a 2004 Rx-8. I recently had both my original key fobs die. I replaced the batteries and still dead. So, I bought two new ones and programmed them. The lock, unlock, and panic buttons work fine, but the trunk release button will not. Searching this forum, I found a thread that specifically mentions the problem I am having, but that thread contained no resolution to the problem, and it is an old one (2009). So, I am starting this one in the hope of some help. Here are the details:
1. I checked that the valet button in the glove box is on. When I turned it off, the trunk release under the dash no longer worked, as expected, and function returned when i turned it on again (but key fob still not working).
2. I reprogrammed the remotes using the trunk release button on the key fobs as the button I press twice to program. The car responded by cycling the door lock, and the other buttons on the key fob worked after. This tells me the key fob trunk release button is sending signal and the car is receiving it.
3. I talked to my Mazda dealer service manager on the phone. He told me that the receiver is the same for the trunk release and door locks; so, it would not be that the signal receiver is not working. He suggested that I hold the button in for at least 1.3 sec to see if that worked. It did not. Other than that, he had nothing for me.
4. I made sure that I had the proper visteon # for my car; that is why the rest of the buttons work.
Any ideas, fellow Rx-8-ers?
