remotes

thanks again..

[jdigu57]

[SpeedyG]

[firstmazda]

can someone post pics of their new toys please?

[SIM SIMMA]

shhh, u\'r ruining the moment for me.. :p j/k..

well, the novelty will wear off for everything tho.. cars, homes, ipod, etc.. it\'s just that if u don\'t buy the product that u so want then u\'ll probably always want it.. if the remote from ebay works then the price will be much cheaper and it seems like a small price to pay to make one happy for a while (or for the rest of his/her life)..

Sorry didn\'t mean to put the key down... it was not my intention... ummm... can i see? can i see?

The key is relatively cheap compared to the VW/Audi key... I believe it was 275 plus tax or something crazy like that.

To those who have completed this little find... good job! I\'m sure more will follow

no worries.. I\'m sure the key forgives you..

Still don\'t know why you need the RX-8 remote.

I\'m currently trying the 06 Mazda6 hatch/wagon remote b/c it doesn\'t have the extra button for trunk release and it\'s cheaper.($130.09 TM3/taxes included)

Oh and just found out the 06 Mazda6 sedan remote is $30.85 TM3/taxes included.

I\'ll let everyone know the outcome.

hmmm the mazda 6 remote seems more worth it.. 180 ish for a rx8 remote is just expensive!
oo is the mazda 6 sedan remote a flip one too?

Yup, still gotta try it.

The difference in price is well worth the try.

I still don\'t get it.
So the flip key and the remote are separate entities, why can\'t
we just program the key to work along with our other keys,
why do we need to buy a 3rd remote?

(pics please)

look at the picture of the key and remote on the ebay link I posted.. the key is a flip key.. ie, the key is hidden until you press a button and then presto, the key flips up from inside the remote.. the mazda3 oem remote does not have a ditch where the key can hide in.. thus, you have to buy a new remote and a new key.. and I just saw the pieces this morning at MoT.. joe showed me the two pieces.. they\'re separated.. after you program them then you can put them together..

[Shat2]

i read on the m3forums that the mazda 5 key also works. don\'t quote me on this tho XD

[SpeedyG]

Thank you for the blank key and the Mazdaspeed catalog Flip, it was nice to see you today. If the Mazda 6 remote works keep one for me I\'ll come by on Saturday to pick it up, if not I\'ll come to prepay the RX8 one.

ahh, I get it, you put the pieces together, now I see.
Thanks!

Hmmm.... with that trunk release button, I suppose we can modify our
trunks with a solenoid and receiver??

I read somewhere that security at an airport in the states considered the Audi/VW flip key a weapon, and they actaully took somebody\'s audi keys away.

lol stay clear of airports !!

[Shat2]
