Retractable key for MY 05
This is from the Japan press release for the MY 05.
"Retractable-type key: Stylish and easy-to-handle key as standard equipment. First adopted among Japanese auto makers. "
Also new is a standard anti-theft immobilizer.
It does look nice but I still prefered the standard key, one less thing to break.

It contains the alarm/door/trunk buttons right? Otherwise I can't think of any justification for the added bulk.

Either IBFubar or someone else said these might be retrofitted to the 2004s. I'd like one, but even still the rotary shaped key is still pretty cool. But if it is all in one+"retractable"... that's pretty dam cool (and cooler than a rotary key).

I like it, but I'm a little confused as to how it works. I assume the buttons for lock/unlock/trunk, etc. are on the other side - or does it open up? And does this fit on a key ring, or do you have to carry it separately from the rest of the keys? If the latter, that would be kind of a drag. Very cool-looking, though. Thanks for posting the picture.
Those are so cool.

Someone did mention in another thead (that I posted this picture in) that you could order a 05 style key for 04s. I think I might just get one :-)

Super Moderator Omicron got the attention of Japan 8 who is going to go fishing around in Japan to see if he can find a contact for a Mazda OEM part of it...
