How the hell do you guys put any reasonable sized key ring on the remote key!?
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?

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.
