Difference #1: Sweet switchblade key/remote fob
Difference #2: Satelite radio (Sirius) ready
Difference #3: Yellow gone, white here (same as end of FD's first year, but the white is better this time)
Difference #4: All 2004 PCM updates done

#1 Some members claim the '05 keys can be programmed for '04 cars.
#2 Correct
#3 Correct (White RX-8==Hype)
#4 Should already be done for all 04's.

With the HUGE discounts available on the '04 models, unless you're hard-up for a white one go for an '04.

(Icemastr, do you have any pics/specs of the 848RWHP 93 RX-7 monster listed under your avatar?)

Yeah. I want to see more too. That has to be with a nitrous shot, right?

Who in the world would want a Rental Car White RX-8 instead of Lightning Yellow?

Of course, I am biased.

And I did trade a "rental car white" Acura TL in on this yellow beast ...

How much are the switch blade keys? I have a 2-way pager alarm can I program the actual switch blade key to function as a secondary remote?
