I'm a big fan of autopage products. They design the right amount of features implemented in the best way with the least flash and the least pomp and circumstance.

For example, rather than an enormous bulky LCD remote with an antenna that sticks out and makes you look unprofessional when wearing slacks (though this is available too from autopage if you want it) autopage has a remote available as a single button used for remote starting when you want to maintain the use of the factory keyless fob. Or a tiny five button remote that does remote start and keyless entry, but no alarm, rather using a universal interface so you can keep your factory alarm but use just ONE fob. This is exactly what I do in my car, use the OEM alarm with an automage keyless entry.

That small five button remote includes a shift key, so that one small fob not only controls my car completely, but opens my wife's car too. And the garage door. One remote. There aren't many alarms on ebay for $50 (on a good day) that can do that.

---------

Or you just string up that tiny one button remote start remote next to your factory keyless fob on your keychain and call it a day.

Well after long week trying to get the auotpage product going, and still having issues with the remote the car will only start if the key is in the ignition, mostly likely I probably need to progarm the bypass kit, I had deceide to yank the kit out and get the oem auto start from mazdagear for $234.
Thanks,
Khris

Just an update, I finally received my oem remote start and as far I can see it only has 4 wire that need to tap, but overall it straight forward to install, I am planning to it this saturday, btw the reason why it comes more than aftermarket remote start, mazda provide a harness that is plug and play basically except for the 4 wire that need to tap.
