Flip-key for mazda 3

[FLIPDADY]

Is there a list of the types that will and will not work?

I have found a 2008 mazda flip key that looks like this:




Will it work? How can I figure out which key will and will not work?

As long as it's not a Mazda 5 remote then it will work.

Thanks for the reply, flip daddy - I really appreciate it. I would love to buy from you, but it's just a superficial little trinket for my girl's car, and half price is half price, even if I hate fleabay

Will a key that says its for the Mazda 5, 6 and rx8 work? with teh following comments:


"will work with:
2007-2008 Mazda 3 SPEED

2005-2008 MAZDA 5

2005-2008 2007 MAZDA 6

2005-2008 MAZDA RX8

2005-2008 MAZDA MX5

FCC ID: KPU41788

IC: 4238A-41525

VISTEON NO. 41524"

Noisy Crow:

Thanks for the link! I tried search, but I am new here - I appreciate the link, thank you!

hey guys,

I am in Calgary, so I need the key shipped regardless - They are on EBAY for like $45 shipped, will this one work?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...mZ110276979088

I really appreciate any help.

Does anyone know if the eBay one I posted above will work? It says it's for a mazda6, which should work, but you guys said ones for the mazda5 wont, and this one says it works with both... Help?

[amorak]

Hey guys - an update.

I have my girl's remote's info, which is:

I have a Canadian Mazda3, for which the US-spec Mazda3 flip key works. My remote info is:
FCC ID: KPU41846
IC: 4238A-41846
VISTEON: 41846

However, the info on the one from ebay is:

FCC ID: KPU41788
IC: 4238A-41525
VISTEON NO. 41524



Now, two questions:

1) The auction says it works on a Mazda6, and that's what we need. But my number's are different - Will it work?

2) How come my FCC, IC and Visteon nubmers all ahve the same "41846" in it, whereas the ebay one is all different?

Guy with a 3 on the Ottawa Mazda board bought a flipkey from eBay for $50. It seems to work just fine... I assume he is driving a Cdn vehicle.

Hey guys,

I bought my Mazda3 flip key like I mentioned, but I jsut got it and the key portion rattles around a lot, as the key blade is thinner then the insert in the remote, I think

This is what I get for ordering off fleabay, I guess


Can anyone tell me, is this normal, and I am just used to my Audi flip key? or can I order a replacement key blade from Flipdady that will not rattle?

I have posted two videos to youtube from my cell (excuse the sh*tty quality), which attempt to demonstrate the problem:


[b]1st You Tube Video

[b]2nd You Tube Video


Can anyone tell me if this is right or wrong behaviour for a Mazda flip key? If so I am really upset, this is terrible quality

Why oh why did I have to cheap out!

[FLIPDADY]

Looks like the key has been dropped.

[sircracked]

amorak, I have one uncut keyblade part, and two remotes that fit it well, from my attempt to create a flipkey that I posted earlier. It looks identical to the key part which works perfectly in my Mazda, but nither remote I have works for me. Don't know if it's your key part that needs replacing, or the remote part, but I'd be willing to hook you up with one or possibly both. Send me a message about it. It shouldn't be much $$, I had written these parts off as waste on an effort that unfortunately failed, or, became too cost prohibitive to continue. From what I've read, however, if you have a CA mazda, these might work fine for you.

Send me a message if you're interested!

Hey Flip,

Just recently bought an 09 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback and want to get the flip key. I just wanted some clarification, for the 2 pre-programmed transponder key, I'm assuming I can use the 2 keys that came with the car am I right? Also, after I program the new flip key, can I still us my old keys, or will they become useless? Sorry, I've gone through all the postings and I don't think I found an answer to some of my questions.

If I want the flip key, could you still help me order it?

Thanks

you can only have 2 active keys at a time. So if you program flipkey, the key the other key becomes disabled

Huh? Says who? I'm pretty sure all 3 of my keys work.

All the keys will work still. You don't need to worry about that. I always keep a few sets in stock so just give me a call when you're ready to come by.

I also want to get one, so, heres my question

I still can use my original remote and key, but

What procedures are needed to be done after cutting the key?

Just programming the new flip key?

And how much is it for a new uncut key?

[x_o_k_x]

Huh? Says who? I'm pretty sure all 3 of my keys work.

I think I only have 2 working out of 3

Does the trunk release button on these Flip Keys work with the 2009 Sedan trunk popper?

I don't know if anyone has tried yet.

All 3 of mine work... my guess is that you didn't program yours properly.

Hey guys new here, I've been lurking around the forum for a while as I had a long wait for my mazda3; 2 months to be exact... Finally decided to join as there is tons of helpful info/people on here! Anyhow, I was really disappointed in the stock key that came with the 3, everytime I looked at my brother's honda key (one piece key/transmitter). After I've read this post, I definetly want to get this flip key. I'm actually planning on going to the dealer and picking one up tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure I have the right info in hand. As I understand it the only flip key that will work is the one from the mazda6?? Now is that hatch or sedan? and what years?? a part # would be great! Also if anyone has done this what is the ballpark cost, for key, cutting and programming. Any info is greatly appreciated!

[trancelucent]

Damn! I should have really read the entire thread before posting!
Has anyone successfully programmed one of these for an 09?
Flip do you still have these in stock?

[trancelucent]

It seems that this works with the 09's as well, thanks Joe!
