Hi all

I'm looking to get an additional 2 keys for my mazda 3

I found these listings on ebay and some of them have 2004-2007 mazda 3 and others have 2007-2008 mazda 3. Is ebay that much cheaper for keys?

Is there a difference in the keys or transponder chips within the key?

Here are the ebay listings, i'm hoping you guys can provide some information as to which ones to order

2004-2007 keys

If they are different transponder chips, how come the different keys all seem to work for the 2007 model year?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

The first link you posted is okay b/c it appears that the key is a factory style one. The other 2 are aftermarket transponder keys. It should work no problem and if you need your key cut and in the GTA PM me and I'll cut it for you no charge.
