ive a 2005 miata w/remote key keys.

for 4 time ive walked down to my basement aprt bldg garage and the
trunk was open and the battery was dead? im absultely sure i locked
it. and the car doors.

Anything is possible--it's not necessarily another Mazda's remote, or
even another car's, that's triggering your lock. Why not simply unplug
the wires from the trunk lock and use your metal key? Locking
convertibles is a foolish concept anyway. Just don't leave anything
inside that's worth stealing.

Yeah, I've even been hearing from other owners on an OTM forum that if I try
to use the keyless ignition system on one of my OTMs while parked next to a
Toyota Prius with the same feature, my OTM might not start.

Because that's a PITA?

I know, I know, but there's nothing more annoying than paying good money for
a handy feature only to find that you need to disable it.

Agreed, except for when the hardtop is attached.

Sure. Two of my friends had overlapping remotes. One guy w/ a Ford
Escort would open the other's trunk (on a Eagle Talon) when he used his
remote to unlock the Escort's doors..
