smarkey question, code number

smarkey question, code number
It says>>>A code number is stamped on the plate attached to the key set;
So I bought the 8 used, now where is my code number? LOST?
I bought a used smartkey on Fleabay
of course key did not work so had one cut at the local key maker for 4 bucks
It unlocks the door and turns the ignition.
Now I guess I need to "program" the smarkkey? how besides the dealer?

supposedly you can't. when i bought mine they said that even the dealer wont be able to program the key without knowing that number, and if i lose the number, you have to order a new set of keys. So, according to that, youre SOL. it explains why its engraved on a metal tag... kinda important. but if you take apart the card, theres nothing to indicate what your code is, so if you think about it, they'd have to try every combination to get your key to work, which is pretty ridiculous.
the metal tag would've been on a little string attached to your keys when you bought the car new. its about 1/4 inch by 1/8 inch, and theres just a number on it, nothing to indicate its for a car or anything. so the original owner probably lost it or forgot what it was and threw it out.

If you've asked the dealer, what do they have to say about it?
If you haven't, ask them.

ok was at the local HEB and outside there was a keymaker
So I ask him. He looks it up in his puter, books, and shows me
will cost 30 bucks so I say ok
do it
the book says..one needs 2 programmed remotes
does that mean I need 2 smartkey cards that are already programed?
who would want 3? I just want a backup
It also says it can be programmed using the diagnostic tool
He does not have that, guess the dealer has it
Mazda customer service told me to contact a mazda dealer

To program a key to work with the immobiliser system yourself, you need at least 2 other keys that already work. If you only have 1 key then you are stuck paying the dealer. There are DIYs for programming not only the keys but the remotes as well in the DIY section, I suggest you start there.

no do not have the key u are thinking about, Juice
I have the smartkey ,ie credit card thing
The key does not have any chip on it
I had a key made at the local flea market in San Antonio and it
opens the door and turns the ignition
What I need to program is the card itself, ie the smartkey, the black credit card things
I bought a used on on fleabay.
Of course the key is used and does not work, ie made for another car.
That is why I had a key made/cut.
He showed me the steps required to program the card.
It said one needs 2 programmed remotes
Guess that means 2 smartkeys that work?
I will try to go and write down the steps, course he will not want to give them to me cause If I program it myself, he does not make any monies
He was so excited seeing my car, I let him sit in it, that he forgot to charge me for the battery he installed in the smartkey remote. Have to go back and pay him
He said this is the first 8 he has seen in person.
He had not seen nor know about the smartkey card until he saw mine and looked it in the book.

wait, what is that thing? What's it for? Does it just do the same stuff the remote on my key chain does (unlock doors, pop trunk, panic button)? Why is it so big, what's the point?

Zoom Zoom....
Uhmmm, well....
Imagine a car that does not ever need a key......
You walk up to it, push a little button on the door and the door unlocks.
You get in and then start the car. Without putting a key in the ignition.
Then you stop the car. Walk away.
The doors lock automatically.
All the time, the credit-card sized thing never leaves your pocket.
......Well, Mazda did.
It's standard on 2006 to 2009 GT's, and Miatas, and all sorts of other Mazda's.
And, a whole lot of other cars.
Get with the new millennium, yo!
