I'm guessing Key number or something...but, no clue, lol.

Its usualy the number Locksmiths use to cut new keys, without tracing the originals.

i have 7339 lol, lets get everyone to do that lol if you still have the OEM key =)

Go to any Mazda dealer...
Tell them what year and model your Mazda is...
Give them the 4 digit #...

And they can cut you a new key in a matter of minutes.
They don't need the original to make you a new one.

whats keeping car thieves from abusing this power?

87 luxury, 7027

mine says 7017

wowsers, 10 apart!

Nothing.
If the Mazda dealer is lazy, then they can be cutting keys left and right.
They SHOULD be asking for proof of ownership - either reg or title + ID.

This is one of the reasons why I broke off the VIN plate on the windshield.
This prevents thieves from getting my VIN and then getting a key cut from an unwary Mazda dealer.
If cops get all pissy about the VIN, I just open my door or lift the hood for proof.

good call sir! I'll break mine off immediately!

we're 10 apart and you're from GA. and im from california. thats far

i wouldnt. cali is nuts about that shit.

Mine is 6775.

elaborate?

7655

if they see that your vin is fucked with at an inspection or something, they can assume your car is stolen or otherwise tampered with.

7134

^ 6 away 7140

I just found this thread and it's very helpful since my original key is looking kinda sad. 6618 for me.

I wonder who has key number 6666...

Ya but I bet the rx7 with key 6666 has over a million miles on the original engine. It just won't die!

<------- 7198

7668

7603
