Take one of your door lock tumblers or ignition barrel (if you can get it out) to a locksmith. Or find a mobile locksmith who can come to you and do it.

Go to a dealership. Give them your vehicle registration and VIN number. They will have a code for it. Then with said code a new key will be cut. I worked at Mazda for years. That's how we did it.

....... so you're saying...

If I "lose" they keys to "my" (neighbours) RX-8... I can just go over and read "my" (his) VIN off the dash, go to Mazda, and get a new key (RX-8) for $400?

sweet deal.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

What dealership did you go to? my local one charged me $20... Or did they think you needed an ignition not just a key?

They want the registration with the VIN because what would stop me from walking up to your car, grabbing the VIN out of your window and getting a key cut. It's proof of ownership. The registration has the VIN on it. I live how ignorant some people can be. As for the cost it's basically the same as getting a regular key cut. They will charge for a new key and then charge for getting it cut. $20 is basically what we charged. The newer switchblade keys or the Card keys are more. But this is just a regular key. Now let me say this again. I worked at Mazda. I was in charge of the parts department. So yeah I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. Just sayin.

Over here you can go to the dealership and show them your ownership plus driver's license and then they can give you the 5 digit code for your key. A new key from them cost me like 20 plus tax.
