Hello all:

I bought a Rotary key kit for 2 weeks ago.
But the transmitter can not fit in the key's pack.
another problem is the rotary key can turn ignition switch to ON position, but can not run the engine.. :confused:

Anyone can help me???? :(

Thank you..........

Did you get the key programmed?

The carrying case that comes with the key SHOULD work. I've seen it slip in before.

I believe that there is a thread about self programing your key. Others have been using them.

Where are you located? I hope you know that the Rotor Key can't be programmed in a North american car. Do a search for this as 1 person imported that key and it became an expensive glove box/trunk/door opener.

m singapore,car came wif immoboliser...mng to 'code' the key diy...do a search 'rotary key',u'l b able to find the ans...cheers!

Did you try the do-it-yourself method? (posted by the famous 'Takahashi'!)

1-Put original key in, turn on, don't start, wait till alarm light goes out.
2-Put your second key in, same procedure,
3-Put new key in, turn on, if alarm light goes out the new key has been accepted.

If the 1/2/3 doesn't work the first time, it often does the second, after that it is probably not going to 'take' the new key.

1/2/3, thanks to Mr. Taka!

Nevermind.. I've been corrected...
(this is good news)

So it really doesn't work for North American cars?

I have seen several others post that they got the key to work on the North American cars. Cant find the post though....

Vaio,
IT DOES WORK... I have the rotary key and it's the only one I use.
My dealer coded mine for me but you can do it yourself. The guy in that very old thread (posted above) got his to work by coding it himself as well, see here (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=15244&page=5&pp=15&highlight=coded+key) and scroll down half way.
Also I carved the foam from inside the leather so the remote fits perfectly inside..
Enjoy it..
