hello, new to Mazda and just bought a new left over 2011 Mazda3 i Sport. didn't realize it didn't have keyless entry until I get home and wife asked where the remote was for the keyless entry. I thought all cars (now days) with power door locks came with keyless entry. question is: since it has power door locks how hard is it to have keyless entry installed? do you recommend aftermarket or OEM? and will it void my warrenty if I go with an aftermarket system? thanks guys.. I really like this little car...

 

search the forum, there's someone that added a remote start and i'm sure the RKE has been discussed as well. In the future - this is why you get something other than the base model, which I think is the only one that has no keyless. Then again, your wife is who wanted it, seems you could care less about RKE since you didn't notice it was missing.
It is probably just a module you need to plug in, the wiring is probably there for it too. I think it's in the headliner above the interior map lights, but I don't recall 100% on my car - though that's the usual place in other car models.

Good luck.

 

buy something other than a base model? it was a left over 2011. I don't mind saving $4000 on a car even if I have to pay $400 to have something put on it that it didn't come with. I didn't post here for somebody to tell me what I should buy anyway. Any information on the question asked is welcome. information on what I should buy or not buy is not welcome. thanks
