Those RX8 owner that purchase their car earlier before the "Retractable Key" was release, can have MM do for you. Cost around $200+ including programming and the immobliser.
I just done it today at MM when servicing my car. Just that the "trunk" button dun seems working, i going back there tomolo to get it done. :Freak_ani

Bro, $200+ for 1 key or 2? Any pic?

Does our MM have immobliser ?

So do that means that once I buy the key I will be able to activate or use the immobliser on the rx8?

Please advice

You have to pass them all the remotes (think MM have 2)
Yes, they re-program the whole entire remote with the immobliser , so that when u insert the Retractable Key, it works the same as your previous key.
I will try to take some pictures this afternoon and post it.

i was the first one who had done the retractable key w MM... had a lot of trouble before they got it right finally (brought in wrong key, etc). there should be nothing wrong with the boot release, try holding the button a bit longer (abt 2 secs). thot they should have learnt the mistake and informed you abt it.

Well, I don't know what/who MM is, but just get a remote with an already cut key on eBay, then a replacement key from Mazdaparts and program it yourself - should cost way less than that.
I just did the same thing, and my remote + new key with all shipping charges included was about 85 US dollars.

MM (mazda motors) is Singapore's distributor for mazda cars and they sell the RX8 FE32 (Euro export model). apparently there are various retractable keys for SE3P (JDM) and FE32 . those sold in the US are good for SE3P and not suitable for the FE32.

only recently MM managed to bring in retractable keys suitable for 2004 FE32. the 200+ mentioned is in singapore dollars (including labour). after conversion, a brand new uncut retractble key and remote is sold at about USD110 (SGD180+) here.

Oh, I see. Wasn't aware of the differences between the US and other cars regarding remotes. Interesting.
Actually, all things considered, that price is not bad at all then. Cool.

Wow ! that's very interesting ...okie, will try it out later on when i get to the carpark. :)

Cool ! yes, it works, you got to hold it between 0.5 - 2 secs before the boot opens.
Thanks sandman369 ! :yelrotflm

Yeah, those bought the RX8 later will get the retractable key :)
Some of us, like me bought much earlier, was just a normal key (means Key and Remote is separated) :smoker:

i think must ask coupe to gather those itchy backside MM owners to do a group booking for the retractable key.

been eyeing it for sometime already.....

I ask MM about the keyless entry (like those Nissan , Renault cars, as long the remote is within u, u can open the door and start the engine)
But MM say if there's, it wouldn't be just the "keyless fob", rather some major changes, like the door handle, the ingition, coz you need to put the "sensor chips". (Guess Pro and Con) :Eyecrazy:

If theres a group guy, I would like to join in... CAN I???
can, but how to grp buy for this??? MM needs to program for us...

can, but how to grp buy for this??? MM needs to program for us...


Maybe we can tell MM we need 10 keys and ask for the price?
Collect the money 1st then pay them in one shot.

i did it while servicing my car coz that will save time waiting there.
Take note: you got to bring all the keys and remotes (including the spare, MM RX8 owner should have 2 remotes, you got to bring all)
Basically, i think MM re-programmed the remote on the "Jack-Knife" key remote together with the rest that you have.
I doubt MM will give any special prices for grp buy, but again, no harm trying.

Guys, when r u guys going? SMS me can? Thanks. :)

Dude...MM is not going to "group buy" anything at a discount, especially something that requires programming. If you want the r-key, just go in and get it done.

ya man.. agree with u... MM will not entertain grp buys...... to them, its "u want, take it, if not, leave it".....

In that case , guess will have to go ahead and buy the key myself....

just got the key from MM yesterday. No discount for any quantity purchased. I asked the abang there "Abang, buy lima key ada discount?". He said "no discount, but one or ten also same price"

Took the keys. Went to key cutter and duplicated it.

Coupe and myself programmed the new keys to sync with the existing ones. Started off with some minor hiccups as expected but was quite ok with the syncronisation once we got the hang of it. Thus overall expect some 40 seconds break if you encounter screw ups.

The $80 saved can be used to pump a 90% full tank or 40 McChicken :)

Me? I'm going to use the $80 and hope to get the $10 million toto come this friday.

yup... the programming can be done by ur ownself... no need to waste money and asked MM to do it for u. Got to leave ur car there for 3 hrs as well, while DIY programminging takes less than half hr, factoring in all the hiccups. Best thing is, u get to save $80 for doing it yourself.

Bro ngkenny, next time u mention coupe, u got to put in coupe07 liao. Theres another coupe, coupeM. Well, and thanks for helping me and lsblack buy. We will treat it as our CNY gift. Thank you brother. On our part, we help u pray that you win friday's toto.

UGUG, there is a chance that your PI 8 might not be able to use MM's retractable key since MM 8s can't use the retractable keys that are available overseas. If you want one, check with XtremeRev.

Hi

I got a retractable key suitable for PI car. I got it but cant use it on my MM RX8. Paid $300 from US :spank: FYI the retractable key has 2 parts, the key portion and the remote portion. Can sell it to any PI RX8 owner looking for a retractable key for $150 (remote portion). Can help buy the key portion from MM for $40 but buyer got to cut the key himself. As good as new and much cheaper than u buy from overseas.

Those interested can arrange we try the remote portion to make sure ur car can use be4 u commit. Include the programming so everything will be swee swee. As good as u buy a retractable key from overseas at $190 instead of $300!! :mdrmed:

PM and leave ur contact if itnerested!!

IS there an instruction on how to program your the Retractable key?

Cos I would like to find out should I spend the money and ask MM to Install or do a Self-Install.

If I can get it done myself, can any members please help?

programming quite strightforward unless there's complications.

good programming instructions in this thread:

hi, do u guys mean that i can just buy without informing them first? cos my car going in for service on mon. i will try to program by myself, but if can't work, can anyone help me pls? thanks beri much

As commented by sandman, the programming is very simple and straightforward. Its a waste of time n money to ask MM to do it for u for $80 + 3hrs.

Any guys not sure, juz raise ur voice here or raise it during meetups.... However, pls get ur key cut before we do the programming for u....

Sorry guys :sadwavey: just sold off mine the day before. I programmed the remote for the buyer and it works for PI cars. Bought it at rx8garage.net 1year ago :Wconfused

programming wise quite simple not to worry. :fingersx: if u buy from them instructions are included for programming if not i can provide the instructions needed, so do coupe07 :D:

The key sold to a fellow bro. Tks for the interest.
:D:

Glad to hear you guys manage to sell off your retractable key fobs and now got more "hiao" 8 owners with retractable keys. Ha ha...

my wife saw the keys and she said "and you guys are getting excited over this key....whats so interesting?"

So i very yaya showed her the key action....she went " like that only ah? " :boring:

Hey! Someone is buying the retractable keys off e-bay. Every one I bid on is bid way up while I sleep and sold to someone else. I've noticed this thread is very busy for quite a while. Is it you all buy them from e-bay? ;)

So i very yaya showed her the key action....she went " like that only ah? " :boring:So bro... to sum it up, you went "flick" and she went "like that only ah?" :yelrotflm

Hey! Someone is buying the retractable keys off e-bay. Every one I bid on is bid way up while I sleep and sold to someone else. I've noticed this thread is very busy for quite a while. Is it you all buy them from e-bay? ;)No, this thread is started because Mazda Motor (our one and only authorised Mazda dealer) in Singapore finally brought in the retractable key for the FE32 (Eurospec) RX-8. Previously, some people bought some of the keys from US but could not get it to work on their 8s because the remote is running on a different frequency.

Anyway, if you really want to get a good price on stuff from ebay, you gotta watch the close of the auction because there are always "snipers" who only bid at the last minute. If I got a dollar for every sniper attack I had to fend off, I'd be rich. Well not really... but you get the point.

So bro... to sum it up, you went "flick" and she went "like that only ah?" :yelrotflm

ya.....nothing more than "like that only ah?". I was sort of expecting "hey..that looks better than your old one" but never mind....

bro....careful about your credit card statement....heehee... she actually got it and she got the key.

I have one retractable key & one normal key without any remote.
Wondering if you need one remote or two to programme a new one.
Cos I read somewhere that you need two remotes.
Thinking of getting another retractable or a separate remote and programme it.

Bro, I tink flyer was making fun of something else.... Not talking about the key anymore...... Kekekekek. Am I right flyer?
