Hi all,
you might remember, the RX-8 was initially planned with keyless entry system (like a renault laguna).
If Mazda would have built the RX-8 with keyless entry, the slot should be for the key card, and, as you don't have a key to start - the starter button would be mandatory. Unfortunally, Mazda seems to decide not implement keyless entry system ....

I think the picure is for Evolve.
Yes, the card slot is only for Evolve. There is no such a slot for RX-8.
But the start button option does exits for RX-8 and the appearance is almost the same. The price is 21,000 yen (USD$ 180K) in Japan.
This switch is used just to start the engine. So you still need key. This option exists just for fun. I like this option but a little bit expensive to me.
1)turn the iginition key to on position
2)the ring of the start button light.
3)push the start button
4)engine start.
