My Rx-7 didn't come with the keyless entry and alarm. But does it usually come with one?

Thanks

I have a 93 RX-7 and it didn’t come with one either, so we are in the same boat. But you can have one put in.

 

its not that expensive to get door lock actuators put in with an alarm as long as the aftermarket alarm features a keyless entry option...get a quote from best buy, they're usually cheaper, and i work at one

 

by the way, my 93 didn't come with that either and i'm not sure that was ever really an option

 

Never an option, mostly due to the fact that Mazda was too cheap to put power door actuators on both sides - the passenger side is the only side powered...

You can buy a J-Spec passenger side power door lock actuator like I did, and put it in the US drivers door. Have not hooked it up yet, though...

 

hmmm, good idea there dclin. im really wanting keyless entry on mine. i miss it. i had that on my 99 dakota r/t and it was nice.

check out this thread on Keyless entry it might be helpful

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...=keyless+entry

 

i had keyless installed for around 100. actuator cost me 5o and the rest was instalation

 

Yup...touring doesn't come with one...dam Mazda!!

 

It was an option on the newer JDM models only. I don't remember if they offered it in 96 or 99. Never the less, it wasn't offered in the USA.

 

ah yes, very good thread insomniac... i put an alarm in my FD right after i got it, and the guy at best buy told me i couldn't get keyless entry, i guess because cables for the door locks won't hold up to the stress of the actuators? i should print that pic out and get it done. i really wanted keyless entry too oh well

 

I had keyless entry installed right after I got my 93 model two years ago. It works great, although the installer did booger up my driver's side door panel, right by the power mirror switch. Damn peel off coating!!

If you are going to have it done, verify that your shop of choice has done the installation on an FD, because the motor/actuator required is smaller than usual.

Good luck

 

As i now don't have to open or more importantly lock or close... Sweet!!!! Carter

 

I posted a thread on the JDM system awhile back. Someone responded and quoted me around $400 shipped. That includes a key, which looks really cool and costs $80. Move over efini key! Some ******** side swipped my car over the summer so I had to hold off on the keyless system to do some body work.

 

thats just crap...i work at a best buy that would do it for me (93 vr base)....tell the guys at the best buy you went to that they're full of shi@ and the store in virginia beach would do it and demand a discount for them being lazy and misleading you!!!!

 

Try going by Best Buy. The alarm systems are usually around their car audio department. I picked up a brochure there that has a list of all the different model systems they carry and the features and prices of each one. They also do the installations there too, so it'll save you from getting pissed off with a project that doesn't add horsepower.

 

I bought mine for 150 something. Mines a '94 so it has an alarm, I took it to my local auto sound and security place (Loud and Clear) and they put it in in an hour or so. I have found that most options don't work for the fd (open trunk). But I can lock it and unlock it. I am getting a aftermarket alarm sometime soon since the damn domestic guys like to screw with the Japanese cars at my school.

 

I was planning on getting a Viper Security system which includes keyless, alarm, and all the good ****.

Anyone know the pricing on lojack, i heard its very good to have if u live in like a **** neighborhood.

And one last question, i just recently ordered one uncut 93-95 mazda rx-7 efini blackhead key for like a buck.

So do i just bring it to any hardware store and ask them to cut it up for me?

Thanks

Phillip Ma

 

Hey Blank, MY 7 likes to chew up keys so I get them cut often. Go to any mazda store and bring your vin # and the blank key, they cut them nice

 

By the way, someone said you cant get an alarm with a 93? My 93 touring has an alarm! It makes really funny beeps when it goes off too

 

thanks mike but is the mazda dealer the only place i can get it cut? lol, i dont live to far from it but hehe im lazy and there is a hardware store down the block from my house.

 

i got my efini key cut at walmart blank rx7
its been working fine, and it feels soooogoood!

 

I installed this myself. i used an audiovox talking alarm, and I had to get a keyless entry module and a door lock actuator. The only hard part was figuring out how to make the audiovox alarm disable the stock alarm when it unlocked the doors.

 

what does everyone think about the viper security?

 

everywhere i look around i cant seem to find a place where they can install the power locks and alarm for car. anyone know where i can get the power locks and alarm online? for the fd?
