Just wondering if anyone has seen / found a source for original Mazda brand uncut / blank keys for 12A models (RX-3, RX-7)?

I realize that most business that cut keys have compatible generic keys. Some are not even bad looking, but I'd appreciate having some copies that match the original Mazda key that came with the first generation Rx-7.

I recently dropped into the a local Mazda dealership and had the parts manager search. He said they are nowhere to be found in the MAZDA USA computer inventory system. Bummer?

well tell the guy doing the searching he is a retard and find the part number yourself they still make them i had one made just under a year ago. ill take a picture tomorrow when i get off work try this site to find the part number and they have them use that to find the new part number because the changed it recently.

My dealer could get them no problem, you just need to go to some place that hand cuts keys if you want to use them. I don't think your dealer looked very hard

Thanks Bass, but those are what I consider generic (non-Mazda) keys.

I'll go back or try yet another dealership in my search of the purist key shown below

Well done Bugman!

I was just on the MazdaTrix site a week ago looking for some parts and missed those. I have seen them posted on another site for ~ $25. I thought that price was steep for a primary, let alone back-up key,. The customized rotor key is sweet. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one.

bugman1973

but that part number i gave you is for that exact key

bugman1973

the one i had them get for me was the one with the rubber around it

Thanks for providing the correct part number Bugman! Don't know if I have seen one with rubber around it. Do you mean rubber encased? I'd be interested in that. Do you also have that part number?

i looked even in the late 80's say 87 they were still the same part number they had since 79 so its all up to you you have to get the one for your year though for something because the blanks wont be exact if you dont what year is you car anyways

Bugman - Your direction above is correct. I understand. Thanks a lot. I appreciate your PM. I'll report back in the future on the result of my search.

Key envy....one of the 7 deadly sins?

^^^That key is the same as my FC key was. My FB keys are rubber a the top like that but they are square

bugman1973

what year is it from? both cars that is and ill show you why

FirebirdSlayer666

iTrader: (3)

The FC was an 89 S5 and my FB is an 83 S2

bugman1973

84 to 85 had the round keys for the FB but the round one was also continued to like the early 90 when they did the funny shaped wing keys with the newer mazda symbol. 83 and below used the square key till 80 before that they had the square key that had now plastic or rubber around them sorry for all the info i go through the tech stuff too much

Hahaha no problem. It's very interesting. Weird thing, the original FB key I had was all metal with a round head
