Mazda CX-7 Alarm Problems
Is there a special way to arm the alarm in a Sport model(no Tech package)? Is it necessary to hit the lock button twice on the keyfob until you here the audible horn or do you only have to hit it once. I didnt even think there was an alarm and tried by locking the car with the keyless entry and then opening the door by unlocking it from the inside through an opened window. No alarm. The book says there is an audible alarm.

How to Arm the System
1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
(With advanced key)
Turn the start knob to the LOCK
position.
2. Make sure the hood is closed. Close
and lock all doors and the liftgate from
the outside using the key or press the
lock button on your keyless entry
system transmitter.
(With advanced key)
Press a request switch or the lock
button on the transmitter.
The hazard warning lights will flash
once to indicate that the system is
armed.
(Without advanced key)
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood and the liftgate . Press
the area on the door-lock switch
marked “[LOCK-SYMBOL]” once. Close all doors.
thnx
I've always gathered that one keyfob lock does the job; two keyfob pushes just sounds the horn for those kinds of people that open the mailbox to make sure their mail went down the slot... (Think Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally")
Anyone know for sure?
Other than that, have a happy day!

Try it again and wait a little bit...
Not to mention that it's 50/50 whether they'd know either, LOL.
I think you missed the shades and wink emotorcons - which indicate the true intent of the message.

Not a problem! I'm just a big ol' guy here, with a twinkle in my eye and mischievous grin. I learned long ago not to get riled up on these forums. The biggest disadvantage in internet chat areas, is that you can't see a person's face or watch for body language. That's why short-hand like ROFL (rolling on floor, laughing) or LOL (laugh out loud) and the emoticons, become important.
First of all, you're absolutely correct, in that these forums exist to exchange ideas and viewpoints. Getting back to your question, it became evident you weren't really getting the info you were seeking. You've received a half-dozen good, intelligent responses to your query. They'd tell you to try this or do that, but nothing seems to work. That's why I suggested you take the vehicle to the dealership and have them demonstrate the alarm system or explain why it isn't working. Otherwise, you can be seated in front of your computer for hours, fielding responses to your original question.

Notice all of the cutesy pics here?
Engine immobilizer anti-theft system - Standard
Illuminated keyless entry w/ panic button - Standard
Anti-theft perimeter alarm - Package option (Tech Package)
MAZDA Advanced Keyless Entry & Start System - Package option (Tech Package)
It would be an aftermarket alarm. Mazda doesn't offer it as a dealer add-on.
