Flip-key for mazda 3

[baymoe]

Does anyone know if there are any differences between the 04-06 keys compared to the 07s? I believe I heard on another board that key on the 07 contains a chip and that a regular flipkey would not work. Can someone confirm it with their 2007 Mz3.

It will work, I cut a flip-key set-up for berrypride on her 07 hatch. The transmitter module reads 04-07 remotes.

how much is it now? you have them in stock?

[Simkins]

i have a 2007 GS Sedan, bought two flip keys, both programmed and work.

Just dropped by MoT today and got a Flip Key from Joe. Got home and programmed it right away and it's working great!!

[saintjames7]

I keep meaning to buy one of those. Would like the Mazda6 wagon flip key though, that way I dont have a useless button for my hatch.

Too bad there isn't a way to make the trunk button work for the sedans!

I'm sorry for digging up this thread that was last dated in March but:

1. The link does not work anymore

2. Has anyone figured out how to configure trunk release on their flipkey?

[S.F.W.]

you can get the trunk release to work with the flip key. The catch is, it doesn't work via the trunk button, instead when you double tap the lock button it opens the hood.
As of yet, I haven't see a workaround to have the trunk button work.

At least that is better than nothing... where can I get that programmed and how much will it cost?

[yearoftherat]

Talk to Joe @ MOT and he can hook you up

How about making the gas cap cover release with the key fob? I got out to fill up gas the other day, and walked all the way around the car to realize I forgot to pull the lever in the footwell. doh! How is that lever connected to the gas cap cover?

A very long cable

No one has talked about the panic button, does that work ok on the flip key?

[S.F.W.]

panic button does work.

The flip key is like $80 cut I think. You will have to program it to save some extra $$$. Took me about 5 min to do so. Just ask Joe for the instructions.

Not even on the sedan... ?

Nope

Sorry to ressurect a dead thread, but I figure it fits better here than anywhere else.

I purchased the mazdaspeed3 flip key for my 3, and contacted the dealer about having it cut (I haven't picked up my car yet). The dealer told me it'd be about $80 to cut and program the key. When I told them that I would program it myself, they said that it wasn't possible... and I quote

"our key has to be programed with the start codes for the car. Mazda will only give the start codes once the vehicle is hooked up to our computers ON LINE. Then they email them to us. And we program the key. Takes 1 hour.
You will need a mazda dealer for this 100%."

Now this sale person has been very good so far, so I would just like to think that he is misinformed... can anybody confirm that this procedure still works on the 08 models? Thanks!

I'm sure it's the same as ever other year but there is a chance they could have changed it. Joe cut my key and I programmed the key and remote in less than 5 min. Here are the instructions on how to do it.

[FLIPDADY]

You will only need to take the key in to be programmed if you lose one. If you have 2 originals then you can follow the procedures shown above.

[Spritzup]

And I assume that with a new car, I get 2 programmed keys....

[freecity]

How much to cut a blank key? would anyplace be able to do it?
