unscrew the plastic cover on the colom. where u put the key in look at the other end should my a plastic cover and one screw on top unscrew it and use a small flat head and turn it. put clutch in if manual and brake pedal in auto. note this will only turn ur car on u move ur steering wheel it will lock.

GO to the dealer, give them you vin # and tell them to give you your key code. Then go to a lock smith and have them make the key for $10-$20. You could get it made at the dealer, but I've had much better sucess on this topic in both quality and service from my local lock smith.

What it sounds like you are refering to as the "key on the display" sounds like your car has some sort of key transponder system, or your key had a security chip in it.
If that is the case, your key is ong to be exensive.
I don't recall any MX-3s having this security system though.
Can you ge a picture of the little light?
