So RTRY, I've been thinking about doing this. Did you have to take it to Mazda to get it programmed? How much was the total expense to get it working? I know there's a thread for this somewhere but all I have is 2 simple questions.

I went to a local locksmith and they cut and coded this key/FOB and a standard key for about $80.

You can code it yourself within 5 minutes, both the ignition and the remote lock/unlock. The key can be cut using a regular key then fitted after trimming with a dremel. No more than $3 for a new key.

Also, there are replacement switchblade blank key blades for a couple dollars on eBay. I got mine and the Mazda dealer cut it for free.

My RX8 is fitted with some shitty looking aftermarket alarm system by the previous owner. I have an ugly looking remote and a key to start the car with. Is there any way I can use this switchblade key and have it programmed to work with the aftermarket alarm with the lock and unlock functions? I understand that the a new blade would definitely have to be cut .
