I know i've got the car in the programing mode, as i'm able to get response from my other remotes, but it dosn't respond at all to the flip remote, and of course, after exiting the programing mode, dosn't work.

Perhaps some change in the 8 or 8.5? Anyone have any luck programing the remote pictured with a very recent model? I do get a light on the remote with button presses, so, fairly sure it's not a battery issue. Could be a bad remote, but i'd have no way of determining that without getting another one, which I'm understandably reluctant to do without ensuring there hasn't been some kind of compatability change.
K I just got flipkey for my 08.5gt and works great, where did you get it from? and which car is it from? it has to be mazda5 or rx8 i think. And you gotta follow the programming instructions carefully but quick. Also use one of your other remotes in your ignition not your flipkey. Becasue whatever is in the ignition will not get programmed but other 2 will. Try to redo it.
