Our Mazda 3 remotes have been playing up,so we checked out the cars manual & found it took a CR2025 battery.Bought the batteries ,neither of us could work out how the manuals directions related to the remotes.
Found a site on the internet on how to get the remote apart ,then discovered that the batteries the manual said were NOT the ones in the remote.Now I have buy another set of batteries,hopefully they will be easy to find as the others were.

Maybe the remote was a replacement remote at some time. Most chemists have different batteries. The CR2025 is the most common.

We bought the car brand new from Mazda .There is no way that the CR2025 battery would fit in ,they are too large for the battery compartment

How frustrating. Hopefully you will get the remotes fixed quickly.

you may have to reprogram the remote. I had to do that and found video on youtube that showed me how

I hope it doesn't need reprogramming.

Is it possible that the incorrect batteries were in the remote causing it to malfunction? If your vehicle was not purchased new from a dealership, the previous owner may have made the error. If you have problems, do not hesitate to contact your local Mazda dealership for further instructions.

The car was bought new & it has just had its yearly service.
Not really happy with the dealership.Last year our mobile phone was stolen from the car but we can not prove it ,we think it was taken when it was in for service.It was in the back pocket of the front passenger seat car seat cover ,right at the bottom.Didn't notice it was missing,straight away.

I believe I had a set of tie-down straps stolen from my truck during routine service. No one else had access. When I needed them, they were no where to be found.
