I just purchased a new 2006 switchblade key fob from ebay for 15.00 bucks. The part number is GP7A 67 5D0 H.

My question is the remote will work on my 2004 rx-8 correct? The remote itself doesn't care what it's transmitting too, right?

I tried finding a compatibility guide but no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What are you doing about the key?

chr1s

either gonna pick it up from mazdaparts for 48 bucks or try and get it off someone here/ebay.

Even if i buy the key from mazdaparts, im still ahead of the game by quite a bit.

Do you have to get a blank?

chr1s

Yeah. A cut key won't work.

I also just purchased a remote with same part number and was curious as to if you did programing it successfully.

chr1s

it worked like a charm. I just programmed it last night in fact.

Both the remote and the key works. I used my master key (black) and my valet key to program my switchblade key.

I then programmed the master remote (the one I got with the car) and the switchblade remote.

Worked perfectly the first time.

I also got it cut at lowes, where they use a cartridge system. The key is like OEM.

I'm kinda relieved to hear that. As I said I have that remote and a blank key. But I still need the top piece that holds the key. Ohh, by the way did you use the D.I.Y. instructions on here. Thanks soo much for the info.

chr1s

yup. I used mazda monkey's instructions.
