My girlfriend is a new mx-3 owner and she lost the only key that came with her car a week ago. Its a 1992 GS. I called up a couple lock smiths but they all wanted rediculous prices (close 100 CND) to cut a new key if I took out the lock and brought it to them. One of the locksmiths said that if I called up the dealership with her vin and info, they would give me a code that they could cut a key from (40 CND). I called but when I gave the number to the locksmith they said it wasnt the right code (it was something along the lines of 00720770).
Does any one have a key code book that if I gave them the vin they could give me the code.
OR..
Worst case senario (I really dont want to do this) how do I take out the locks from the door?
I am open to any other options.
Thanks for your help guys!
What to do, my girlfriend lost her key?

Take the vin code to your local mazda dealer... proof of ownership such as the registration or title may be required.. but they can cut you a new key for it usually for less than $15 US. I had this done for my Mazda truck less than 6 months ago.. so I know the mazda dealership can do it. Are you able to get into the car now or is it locked? Your VIN # is located in 2 places within the car.. one up on the dash under the windshield on the drivers side of the car and the other just inside the door on the B pillar face just above the door latch. Also your Registration or the Title should also have the VIN #. Hope this helps

We dont have a mazda dealship persay where I live. We have a dealership that also sells mazda cars though, I suppose I could go down there and try. Would the ford dealship also work seeing as its the probes counter part?
The only proof of ownership she has is the bill of sale, will that suffice? The cars not locked so we can still get in and out. We just cant start it.
So I should copy down the vin and bring her with me to one of the dealerships and they will cut a key?
