Key programming question & fog light question
I've read all the posts in the DIY and searched the whole forums, and a few questions I have but didn't see or understand...
1) I have an 04 RX8 and the switchblade keys should work on it, however it's my understanding you have to have at least 2 keys to code the switchblade key ?
2) If you do need 2 keys to start before coding 3rd switchblade key. Is there anyway around this
3) I saw a picture somewhere and can't find it now (any links possibly?), where someone has their fog lights on with driving/running lights, in order to do this the fog lights have to be re-wired (yes or no) ? I think this is a YES answer but wanted to make sure, Thanks in advance

1. yes, you need 2 keys to do it yourself
2. No, you'll have to take it to Mazda for programming
3. Yes, It's on this page.

OK, when I asked the dealer if the 05 switchblade key would work on my 04 they said no..SO again I just want to make sure/prove them wrong, If i buy the 05 switchblade key. IT CAN in fact be programmed for my 04, right ?

i just did some searching on the same thing and it looks like it can be done. I'm in a worse position though. I only have one key, no fobs nothing... so i don't know how it can be done on my own really... they have those retractable key fobs on ebay for 80 bucks now...

...I never got a factory key fob when I bought my car, I got a cheap aftermarket version instead. plus I only got 1 key =/
If you guys end up gettin' those for your 04's, please lemme know if it'll work =D
