Swtch Blade key
 

Want to get a switch blade key for my 8.

Best place to pick one up or order it online? Anyone else interested? Perhaps we can get a combined order going on this?

I wouldn't mind having one as a spare so I always have two sets.
Interested.

im interested

I might be interested in 2.

Anyone know the running price?

Seems like they go for 40 to 50 bucks. Haven't done a lot of searching on it yet...

Also interested depending on price.

I have a spare one, $50usd shipped.

New is around $180usd retail.

I think Chris got a great deal on it last year ... :)

got mine got 50$ on ebay last week

if i dont have the original keyless entry, can i still program the switchblade key?

^ I will let you know. I ordered one on ebay and my remote no longer works. Hope i can do it myself and not have to go to mazda...

Let us know how the one on ebay works out...and maybe we could do a group buy on this forum.

The only thing you'll need the dealer for is the cutting of the key. Or if you can find somewhere else where they can do this, then you're laughing.
Programming the key and the fob isn't hard. You just have to know the programming procedure.

I tried to upgrade to a switch blade key for my 04 Mazda6. Unfortunately, they couldn't get the fob to program properly. Apparently the transmitters are different between 04's all the way up to 06's. They cut the key properly, they programmed the key to turn on the car properly, but when it came to program the remote functions, it wouldn't take. :(
Got stuck with the separate key and fob scenario.

Make certain your vehicle year can take the switch blade key. Wouldn't want to throw away money for the hell of it.

Apprently it will work based upon the discussions on this board. We'll see...

Chris got a set last summer before the price shot up....he says its pretty easy to setup.

did it last summer
ordered key off ebay (~$50)
cut the key at a locksmith
programmed it with my 2 other key sets

works like a charm!

munchy, i dont have a keyless entry, can i still program the keyblade?

from what i remember correctly, you need 2 keys and at least 1 remote to program another key.
