My old key ring broke and was useless considering the rest of my keys fell off of it from being thin and flimsy. So now I'm trying to put a beefier keyring on, and it looks like its just not going to happen. Couldn't mazda have put bigger holes?

 

are you talking the credit card looking keys??

 

I have my key as a standalone on just a decorative fob on its own. I hate how my keys hit my leg when I'm driving.

 

the 05+ key or the 04? the 04 isnt that bad idk about the 05 and newer

 

If youre talking about the credit card key, perhaps put a larger keyring on a smaller one and attach your keys to the large one? heh.

 

I found a keyring at Home Depot which works great. I'll post a pic this evening when I get home from work.

 

I was able to fit everything together nicely.... *shrug*

 

All I have on my key ring is my key and keyless entry fob. I try to keep the weight on my ignition to a minimum. Having a lot of weight on the ignition, coupled with everything swinging around while driving, can put pre-mature wear on the internals of the ignition. I guess its just one of those little things that bother me.

 

I do the same thing, I have all my other keys on a seperate key ring

 

Mine fits with my toolbox key, apt key, gym key, and some other randoms...just used the above smaller ring with biggere attatched

 

mine just have my car n house key along wit the beeper

 

why would you put keys with the credit card key? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a key that thin?

 

I have an 05 switchblade key and I put a very small keyring on it first.

 

I don't.

Was just a suggestion. If you do what I said then it should work with any key

^holy hell how big is that in real life...would think that would make u look like you're carrying a basball if your pocket with keys attatched to it!....maybe that picture makes it look bigger than it really is

 

who the hell puts their car key on a key ring anymore?

 

not me!

 

If he's talking about the credit card type key, you don't put the key in the ignition - you keep it in your pocket (or pocketbook). It's attached to a small ring with a heavy thread-type lanyard stuck through a tiny hole in the "credit card". If that's what broke, find some heavy line of some type and thread it through and attach it to any size ring you want.

 

i haven't found a "normal" sized key ring that will fit the key/fob for my 05 RX-8. i use the wimpy one that came on the key tag when i bought the car. sometimes it works itself loose and i'll pull my keys out of my pocket and the RX-8 key will still be sitting in my pocket. on my key ring i have the RX-8 key, the key to my 85 RX-7 GS, my house key, mom's house key, p/o box key, F-150 keys, and the key and fob for my wife's 06 Freestyle. the rest of my RX-7 keys are on a seperate key ring. this helps keep key weight down and help to minimize ignition cylinder wear.

 

I would, if I didn't have the remote key. Now, I just jam it in the ash tray.

 

Once you figure out what will fit in the key/fob for the 05 switch blade design please tell me. I went to a party last weekend and someone tried to take my keys away from me and broke off the OEM ring now its bent like a close hangar. I also have the problem of the key itself disconnecting from the main key ring.

 

you do realize that you can carry a key chain AND your car key... everything doesnt have to be on one massive key ring.

 

^ I have 3 car keys and 2 house keys on my key ring. Total of 5 keys including the 8 not massive at all.. I just like everything connected together its a piece of mind for me since I have the tendency to loose things often.

 

i hate having other things on my keys. all i have on my rx8 key is a Chinese coin i was given for good luck, fits perfectly
