Programming Instructions for 2017 Mazda CX-5 Smart Key Remote Fob

Important Notice: The 2017 Mazda CX-5 does not feature on-board programming capabilities for smart key remote fobs. Programming must be completed by a certified technician using advanced diagnostic tools that communicate with the vehicle's electronic control system.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Ensure the smart key fob you plan to program is compatible with the 2017 Mazda CX-5 and has not been previously paired with another vehicle.
• Step 2: Gather all existing smart keys. In many cases, the vehicle requires all remotes to be present during programming, or they may be erased from memory.
• Step 3: Contact a certified automotive technician or a service center equipped with Mazda-compatible diagnostic equipment.
• Step 4: If your vehicle is drivable, consider transporting it to the service facility, which may reduce costs compared to requesting a mobile technician.
• Step 5: Bring documentation to verify ownership of the vehicle, such as a photo ID and the vehicle's registration or title.
• Step 6: The technician will connect diagnostic tools to the vehicle’s onboard system through the diagnostic port and begin the programming session.
• Step 7: The system will be accessed to add the new smart key, and if needed, reprogram or delete existing keys according to manufacturer requirements.
• Step 8: After programming is complete, the technician will test all smart key functions, including lock/unlock, proximity entry, and push-button start.
• Step 9: Request confirmation of how many remotes are now registered to the vehicle, ensuring that only authorized devices are active.
• Step 10: Store any spare keys securely and periodically test them to ensure continued operation.
