Retractable car key
 

Any Singapore RX8 owners know where to get those retractable flip type car key besides going to MM? Roughly how much it costs?

i'm also keen to have those rectractable ones...heard my friend telling me that is one set of special keys with the rotary logo..

so far haven't seen yet...
but i'm sure these keys will sure cost a bomb.

There are actualy a few types....I just looking for a normal one just like those found on other mazda cars. Went to a shop who quote me $380 for one stupid key!

Just wondering if there is any other place selling cheaper.

wOah..... $380 for a retractable key?

i know that are other retractable keys, by VA or something...which can be found from some Alarm/Key Fitter at Turf City....

However, the key doesn't look as sleek & cool as the Original Mazda ones..
I've actually fitted in my previous ride...but i changed them as they just look absolutely awful....

haa haaa....

:) :) :)

Compare that to the $2k for a Merc one. That needs to be sent to germany to code.

I heard ours costs $300; that what my PI will charge. (At least that was what the salesman said)

Got mine at monster for $210 :)

Oic.....coOl.....something to consider abt...

but then...after i settle the more serious issues 1st..:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

kekeke

thanks!

Thats cheaper than MM, I call up MM they told me its $270. Does Monster G do for agent RX8?

Shld be i guess... think only MM discriminate PI cars...

Thanks bro! Will check with Monster Garage :)

There's a key making shop opposite AML (near the POSB) that carries a generic retractable key. Not sure if it will work, but they're only going at S$80 each.

Before you make a wasted trip down2 Monster, if your ride is from MM, dun bother coz there is an immobilizer in ur key system which you have to go back to MM for programming.

Only if your car is from PI and belong to earlier batch that does not have an immobiliser, you will be able to purchased the retractable key.

Cheerio:rolleyes:

Was at Mazda Service Centre today. Apparently there is an offer now for the retractable key for S$205. At least that's what the poster/sign stated cos when I was there, the parts/accessories side was closed (arrived at 6+pm). Usual price S$280 if my memory serves me right.

Thanks bro then shan't make a wasted trip :)

Let MM do for me at my next servicing

Think the promo is for other models. I call up MM and price they quote is $275 for RX8 if I remember correctly

Was back at MM today - confirm that the retractable key promo for Mazda 3 only.

Was there to get the touch up paint but after application, it seems even worse - i.e. instead of covering the "flaked" off parts, the whole painted part looks discoloured and uneven.

I basically applied and wiped off the excess with cloth. Am i doing something wrong?

Where is the damaged part? If its obvious then go respray if not leave it. Touch up paint wont do any good

It's the bumper. think i got a S$160 quote from MM to respray the whole piece. didn't know touch up paint was so... useless... =(

Don have to go MM to do such minor jobs, can go to any outside workshop which charges cheaper and can do it faster :) Unless your car is pearl white?

why not just install and aftermarket START button?

I just got this 1 year old 4AT. the retractable car key I have has 3 buttons: lock, unlock, and this third button that looks like car boot. That third button does nothing when I press it. Anybody knows where I can ask it to be checked?

press and hold for 2 secs...the boot shd open

oh heh heh... thanx.. it worked....-.-
