I purchased a used 2004 RX-8 from the dealership and there was only 1 master key that came with it. I was wondering what my options are when it comes to getting a 2nd key.

After some research, it seems as if I need at least two keys in order to program the car to accept a new key. Thus, is it my only option to have the dealership do it?

Thanks a bunch.

 

1, See if the dealer can contact the previous owner
2, Pay the dealer (yes its not cheap) to code a new key.

No other options exists.

 

I was in the same boat. Luckily I still had a switchblade key from my 2005. I got a new blank for it ($35) and had it cut for my car.

 

I went to the Mazda Dealership and they made me 2 more Masters. They we're about 150$ each.

 

Thanks for all the quick replies.
