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 7 stuck alarm by uhohboy

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?

Hey dude. I'm in the same boat you are. Just today the same thing happened to me. Did you get it fixed? If you did how'd you do it? I imagine others have had this set back. Let me know so I can put my fuses back on.

I am in the same fix. My alarm goes off all of the time on my Mazda Miata 2002. There is a reset for it that the dealer told me about, but I don't remember how it was done. It was something with the key and the buttons on the alarm at the same time, but I don't remember exactly. Has anyone else found a solution?

#7 of 7 Alarm always going off by mazdagirl5

I have a Mazda RX8 and a few days ago my alarm started going off for no reason, Whenever i would touch the doors in any way, if i went to shut off or turn on the car the alarm would start going off. {SOOO EMBARRASSING} But found there is a super easy way to fix it. Even if your car is unlocked stick the key in the door and lock then unlock the door, it shut my car up. Hopefully this helps.
