Start-X Mazda Remote Car Starter Install and Programming 

👍🙃

Thank you for the kind words! 😊

You are welcome! Thank you for the kind words!

Haha why thank you kind sir!

👍

🙂👊

@radieyevanov you saved me $400 CAD. I was quoted $650 plus tax. I know it was not the same remote starter, but I didn't need the extra fobs and 3000-foot range.

@@user-fk4nu3zz8s same here. Just needed something that was simple, affordable and worked with my kefob. I just need to start it from inside the house to heat it up before I leave in the AM

did you get the lockx3 or lock unlock lock one ?

Haha it's as easy as it sounds! I wish all of them were this easy lol

You are welcome!

Thank you for the feedback Michael! Appreciate it!

Thanka man 🙂

Anytime!

I know this is an older video but I just purchased a 2017 Mazda 6 for my son, how is the kit holding up after a year?

@@CoachClyde Ended up not using it

Welcome sir! Thank you!

Thank you Eugene! And yes, I agree. They didn't have that option when I bought and installed this.

Welcome Random Waffles 👍

Thanks so much Erik! Appreciate the sub 👊

You know, I don't even think I ever tried unlocking it with the fob I always just use the door button lol

Great video, I just installed this remote start for my Mazda 3 hatchback, it got no issue to unlock my car with the key fob. Actually I tested, the module respond better if I lock and unlock the car with the key fob. Also, the module take control of the turning lights making them to blink once when I closed the trunk door when the car is off, this thing never happens before. By the way, according the instructions of the manufacturer, the car will turn off 45 seconds after you unlock the car. I checked, after 45 seconds it will not shut off automatically, unless you press the brake pedal after this 45 seconds. The car will not shut off if you unlock the car, before this 45 seconds you have to press the brake pedal for the key fob can takes control

@@kcs1981 that's cool. I never tried that cuz usually I just get in and go but that's cool to know! Thank you!

I also have a Mazda 6 2021 and the key fob does unlock however the car shuts off once the brake is pressed and has to be restarted does this happen with your Mazda as well ?

Yes you can. And thank you 😊

🙃👍

👍😊

Thanks 😊

Thank you PS Only way would be to disable power to the horn itself. The ECU is otherwise programmed to always make the horn beep when it receives a lock signal and tampering with the ECU programming may not be possible for this specific reason. Disclaimer: to my knowledge

👍

Hey you are welcome Will! Honestly anywhere would do so long as it's a sturdy location. Keep it away from moving parts, pedals, etc. as well as away from vents.

Yup, noise is normal it's supposed to do that 👍😊

Put your foot on the brake and hold it down for a few seconds, then the car will take over and then you'll be able to get the shifter in drive, don't try to put it in drive too quick

That would actually be pretty cool if it did but no sadly it doesn't

Correct! You have to set your climate settings to what you want in anticipation for starting it up. So in winter time when I remote start my car, if I had forgotten to leave the heat on full blast prior to shutting it off then I would get in without it having gotten warm 🥶

Sorry Medic, I don't have any experience with the factory remote set up. In fact I got the start-x myself because it seemed to be the simplest one I could find

Hi Andy, yes both remotes should work. Mine stays on for 15 minutes before auto shutting off. Not sure if there is a way to program it to stay on for longer, would have to message the company to try to find out.

You are welcome! No, you really don't have to remove anything, there is enough space behind the plastic to just feed it through. Once it's in there, it's pretty secure actually, does not move and nowhere for it to go so I didn't bother with any zip ties.

@@radieyevanov So helpful, thanks!

@@danstackhouse7973 anytime 👍

I do not know if a way sorry

Amazon! Sadly the price went up. I think when I got mine it was 215 or so, now up to 290 😔 www.amazon.com/Start-X-Remote-Starter-Mazda-Miata/dp/B08XYF618C/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=28KQR35QQ5UQZ&keywords=start+x+mazda&qid=1652542550&sprefix=start+x+mazda%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-3

I believe I fed the wires in through the back and then the module through the front, connected them and tucked it all in

As of know I just placed right next to fuse box .. what happens if I take out connections and re connect it and tuck it under dash .. do I have to re sync the module ??

@@durgaprasad-mr4ld I would assume so.... Only one way to find out 🙃

Hahaha .. will let you know .. I bought it for $280 kind of expensive but here in Texas, my afternoons got little better during this heat

@@durgaprasad-mr4ld yeah they went up in price. I think they were 220-230 when I got mine. Still much better then something from the stealership though!

I think so. Though can always shoot startx an email to verify.

Oh I'm sorry, I don't know anything about that issue. Message startx support directly, maybe they may be able to help.

@@radieyevanov Thank you

It's a nice starter in that it's so easy to install and can do it yourself. It's not advanced like some other vehicles or abilities to control certain things like what you mention. So the way to do it with this kit is to make sure you leave the desired settings before you shut the vehicle off so that they turn on when you remote start it. ie in winter make sure to leave the heat on and heated seats on and in summer the ac on

@@radieyevanov thanks. As far as I'm aware Heated seats/wheel reset each time the car starts up but I'll look to see if there's a setting for that. Also there shouldn't be any installation difference between this model and the unlock-lock-unlock model, right?

@@dinman correct! No difference at all. When I got mine only the 3x lock was available but I'm guessing they came out with the lock-unlock-lock because some people have the tendency to click lock multiple times sometimes to make sure the car is locked. Though this is only my guess. Either way: links to both versions are in the description.

thank you. I'm hoping the unlock version will be less annoying for my neighbors haha

@@dinman haha yeah good point actually, I didn't even think of that 👍

Yes, that's because the electric power is reset for a moment when the car takes over vs the remote. Normal

@@radieyevanov thank you for your quick response ! great video btw.

@@MarekMarciniak no problem! And thank you 🙂

Hahaha it most definitely was not scripted! 😅

You are not supposed to hit the start button 🙃 just keep your foot on the break til the car takes over control and then drive away. Have to have the key fob inside with you obviously.

@@radieyevanovthat I did not try. Thanks again

It uses the factory keyfob so it doesn't extend the range at all. Whatever your factory keyfob is that's it

Ofcourse 🙂

When the car is not in motion or going very slow the touchscreen remains active/functional. When the car is in motion it disables the touchscreen functionality.

@@radieyevanov Thank you

@@joseantoniomartinez6994 anytime!

Hmm...that's strange! What exactly doesn't it let you do?! Like your infotainment system isn't working properly or all your presents are gone after disconnecting the battery?!

I have the same car and I'm thinking about doing this, did it ever return to normal?

I do not know why that may be! Does the key fob work for everything else? PS when you say won't open at all, do you mean even with the latch inside the car? Because if that's the case then it won't have anything to do with the key fob

I believe so

The company sells on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Start-X-Remote-Starter-Mazda-Miata/dp/B08XYF618C/ref=pd_bap_m_csi_vtp_0?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=UHgnZ&pf_rd_p=306cc3dd-f716-4afe-8aeb-47781d60c63f&pf_rd_r=RCY1JTZ8TK22K44Q8M61&pd_rd_r=5e20750b-2fd8-404e-b70b-3b7ecdd1f379&pd_rd_wg=NkYpO

@@radieyevanov thanks

does it have secure takeover or does it turn off when you get in the car?

@@landonmorel3715 yes it does have secure takeover!

@@radieyevanov awesome! too bad they are out of stock for the mazda 6 😩

Yes, the normal range of the keyfob

Nope. Standalone product for use with factory keyfob

Nope, can't do that. It will shut off after 15 minutes on its own

Won't work for 2012

They use to sell directly through their webpage but aren't at the moment. They sell on Amazon but they went out of stock recently. Probably because of winter and them getting sold out. Hope they will get more soon.

Yes it will! 2 options available now. Can check both out with links in the product description.

No

I actually purposely chose one that uses the car key fob instead of smartphone app. Personal preference but for me there's a lot of things in life where I don't want to rely on having my phone for. It certainly is cool technology though! Where did you pick up the start-x from?! Seems it's been out of stock and nobody the comments section has been able to find one!

@@radieyevanov okay thanks for the quick response! I wanted to use the phone as a primary way to start it and have the fob as a secondary. The start confirmation with my phone is ideal for my workplace. I had it in my Amazon cart and been checking it periodically throughout the week. It went available a couple days ago for $299. I checked this morning and it was $219 so I quick purchased it.

oh nice! that's great they are back in stock! I'll have to check out the Carlink ASCL6 👍

@@radieyevanov yup kept checking daily and just got one for my 2016 mazda 6 for $219

@@landonmorel3715 awesome landon! 👊

I'd recommend following the reset procedure in the pamphlet or restart/redo all. If you still have issues. Reach out to startx directly (email in pamphlet or website). Their customer support is usually quick to respond.

Only need one! And yes all trims!

Awesome!! Thank you!! I'm too cheap to buy another fob lol

@@user-ef9jh2hb1o lol I hear ya...just don't loose the one 😅😉🙃

🤣🤣 don't jinx it!@@radieyevanov

@@user-ef9jh2hb1o hahaha 😂 would never sorry

This particular starter is a plug and play and only for 2016 and up cx9. You would have to purchase a different one for a 2015 that would require to be wired in as opposed to plug and play.

No sir, has secure takeover. Once door is unlocked you have 45 seconds I think to hold down the brake pedal to take over. Must have your key fob inside the car.

@@radieyevanov awesome, thank you! I just ordered mine!

@@Maatt.1 👍 welcome Matt!

@@radieyevanov I literally just finished installing mine about 5 minutes ago and it works like a charm! I followed everything you exactly did so thank you!

@@Maatt.1 no problem! Glad it all went smooth!

Hahaha absolutely right!

Probably not. It's the same as what ever the factory keyfob range is. You are using the same keyfob obviously so it doesn't change anything in terms of the range. If you can lock and unlock your car from a block away at the moment with the keyfob then it should work.

Yes they do but the 2006 kit is not a plug-and-play kit. It requires wire splicing and the install is much more complicated. The plug-and-play kits are typically not available for older vehicles.

No it does not. It gives you plenty of time to take over control before any shut off

@@radieyevanov awesome, thank you

@@gsent56 welcome!

As far as I know This product does not work for Mazda 2

Yes, auto only!

The link has changed a couple of times. Just go to Amazon and type mazda startx and you'll get the current available options 👍

@@alexmanson1762 buy the lock unlock lock version and you won't hear the horn just a chirp. Link to both versions in the description 👍

Yes!

It happened to mine as well. Watch the very end of my video for the window reset procedure that I used. It worked for me, hope it works for you also.

I mean the folding driver's side mirror. I fixed the window issue right the way

@@Momo-ej9th oh oh sorry didn't understand that at first. I wish I could be of help, I do not know the answer to that question though I'm sorry.

No problem. Will try to figure it out or just cancel the automatic folding. Great video though. Greetings!

@@Momo-ej9th благодаря! Успех!

Automatic transmission only. Sorry mate!

Hey Sambit. Yes, all three plug into the module. Try the reset procedure. Should see it in the pamphlet that came with it. There is a button on the module to hold and reset it and then you do the programming procedure all over.

Did the reset. Orange light came in briefly, followed by blue and solid red. But pressing start button twice only makes the red light blink. Waited for a long time, the electronics keep humming, but nothing happened. Have taken everything out so that I can use the car. 2019 cx5

@@sambition hmm interesting. I was gonna say to try disconnecting the battery and trying it again to see if that does the trick. Can always give it another full try from scratch since you have it out but if it continues not to work I'd contact their customer support to see what they say. Did you buy it from Amazon?!

@@radieyevanov yes, from Amazon. Have contacted customer support. May be the unit is faulty.

@@sambition I hope it's as simple as that and they send you over a new one 🤞

Sold out at the moment 😬🤷

Hmm...no trick. Should be like any other auto electrical plug. There should be a spot to push down while pulling them apart to separate. I'm sorry, I don't remember if there was anything different about them as I did this install a while ago.

I don’t see anything to push down but I will look tomorrow

@@richardgoodfellow3239 watching through the video again you should be pushing up on the white plastic clip area in the middle and then they need to slide out towards the front of the vehicle.

Thanks will try it.

@@richardgoodfellow3239 no problem, good luck 👍

Yeah they recently stopped selling through their own webpage. I don't know why!

So far, 2 years since I installed mine. Zero issues during this time.

Great to hear! Thanks for the quick reply

Yup, all CX-5 and up!

@@naushadmahomed6919 no

@@radieyevanov are you sure? I saw after starting the car with the remote and if you then press on the unlock button it shuts down car.. they said it's a safety feature.

@@naushadmahomed6919 well mine does not. The safety feature is that you can not take control of the car or put it in gear unless you enter with the key fob inside the car and press and hold the brake pedal to initiate normal vehicle operation. I bought mine a long time ago though. If the company has changed the programming I don't know. You can reach out to them directly but for the one that is currently installed and functioning in my car it does not do that. When you say you saw that it shuts off what do you mean? You saw a comment by somebody or you witnessed it do this on your own car after having the remote start installed?

You can push them faster than what I show in the demonstration but if you go too fast it may not register properly.

No it's just for the key fob

Thank you for fast response

@@kevingreen7418 welcome!

Heat up the inside during winter time before walking out to it 🙃 same during hot summer months with cooling it down

will the product still work if car is left in manual ?

The product is only for vehicles with an auto transmission per the manufacturer
