..but you have to order it with your car or you need to replace something in the starter and the ignition housing. (so said my dealer)

If you get one, just get the key and laynard (its pretty cool with the RX-8 rotary motif on it).

Is it possible to get the J-Spec key FOB and reprogram it, to work with the U.S. Model... I know the actual key works but I'm talking about the remote unit. I saw someone post the directions on reprogramming the key FOB's..

That I do not know. I bought the J-spec key and had my dealer try to program it, which they couldn't. I should have just followed the insuructions here on the forum and all would have been ok. the key does work when programmed correctly. Someone want to purchase the J-spec key fob and try it out?
