POOman, you see this event yourself or is it just hobby?
mikeb 08-11-2003, 07:31 PM I think you can order it from japanparts.com
tripwire 08-11-2003, 07:35 PM It's $140 here: http://www.jt-imports.com/Mazda_RX8_JDM_Parts.htm
But I've seen it for around $80 or $90. They might be able to get this realtively inexpensive in the UK and Australia as I *believe* these keys come standard there.

zoom44 08-11-2003, 08:29 PM check the europe section for accessory pics. it seems they can get the key there also. i think the one pictured was silver but i don't know if that was the only color to choose from or not.
The Beav 08-11-2003, 09:17 PM from the look of that pic it seems the holder for thekey is the remote as well, would that be compadable with the usdm model?
P00Man 08-11-2003, 10:31 PM wish we could get a full functions/design breakdown of the key from someone that has it

PoLaK 08-11-2003, 11:42 PM Yeah Key that I was given when I test drove rather disappointed me. I was expecting it to live up to bowanna's riddle from a while back.
Jt-Imports 12-17-2003, 12:31 AM The KEYS dont come standard around here.
The key is CHEAP if you get just the key, with the case is quite a bit more.
S3/P3/E2 12-17-2003, 01:09 AM So what exactly is it about the case that costs the set $70 more? It better do more than just hold the key...
Shadow_RX8 12-17-2003, 02:38 AM Is a very nice look, would be nice to have more detailed information on the use of the case as if it had the ablity to open the doors such as witht he BMW 5 series where the key also unlocks, locks and can pop the trunk if i rember correctly from my friends, if the dealer did have the ablity to program the key in the states would be a cool little add on.

LOL, this key + the case ends up at £140, or about $230 in the UK from dealers.
This key is NOT standard, and is a complete ripoff - the case is £60, key £80. Plus you still need the bulky keyfob.
my10ae 12-17-2003, 06:18 AM REad this thread guys... The J-spec key does not work with US-spec 8's. I know, I bought a key and a case...now I have a nice xmas tree ornament. :(

cortc 09-08-2004, 12:08 PM It does work with proper programming...
my10ae 09-08-2004, 12:53 PM Yes I know it does. I programmed it myself and love the key....
cortc 09-08-2004, 02:26 PM my10ae: Yes, I know that you stated that on another thread but a few orphan threads existed that had not been updated with that information... If someone who was interested in the key came to this thread first they may not have eventually found the final resolution...:)
Jt-Imports 09-11-2004, 12:55 AM So now we all know it works fine, thats cool...
I was wondering why they were getting popular ......
Jt-Imports 09-11-2004, 01:01 AM So what exactly is it about the case that costs the set $70 more? It better do more than just hold the key...
I have said that about a good 90% of Mazda parts, please feel free to ask them, since we dont price the parts we just sell them..
