#1 of 4 2007 Mazda RX-8 GT alarm issues? by chrisknight Nov 05, 2006 (12:51 am)
A coupel of weeks ago I purchased a 2007 RX-8 Grand Touring. It comes standard with the keyless entry system. According to the Mazda website, and the printed brochure, there is a shock sensor add-in to the alarm that will add the detection of broken windows to the alarm.   The day I purchased my car I ordered this part. When it came in they had problems, and told me that the unit would not accept calibration. They ordered a replacement, which had the same problem; and they noticed it getting hot to the touch.   They are now telling me that the engineers at Mazda think the shock sensor may not be compatible with the keyless entry module. Seems odd to me that the car can be ordered with this feature combination, but they never tested it?   Has anyone else had a similar problem, or success where my dealership not?   -Chris Replies to this message: reidswitch (Nov 09, 2006 2:04 pm)

Replying to: chrisknight (Nov 05, 2006 12:51 am) I have a 2006 rx8 loaded that came with the keyless entry system and the alarm shock senser upgrade. It works fine with mine, the only thing I can say about it is that it is a bit sensitive when a big truck drives by and sets it off. other that that works as it should.   My rx8 is only 6 weeks old and it has a lot of rattles and noises with the interior. I know that a sports car with stiff suspencion makes it noiser that one with a softer ride. I just think it should not be as noisy.   How does yours ride?
#3 of 4 stuck alarm by uhohboy Jan 04, 2008 (4:32 pm)
My 05 rx8 alarm is stuck on. I pulled the fuses to the horn and emergency flashers and and pulled the negative cable on the battery to see if it would reset the alarm. The next day I started the car, put the fuses in and hooked up the batter cable. Everything seemed fine until I shut the hood. The alarm set off again. So now I've pulled the fuses again. How can I reset or disarm the alarm? Replies to this message: livetoride (Jan 17, 2009 7:35 pm)
