you can order the key with your car. you can also order a type-r switchblade key instead.

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?

I'd assume he means the rotary key, and the lack of the case with it.
