can you still get a factory key with your vin or do the give you a cheap generic key that you could get at like home depot or ace hardware

 

Yes, too both.

Although if you want a factory key you will need to special order it.

 

no problem for me i hate those stupid cheap ace keys. thanks icemark. i may be hitting u up on one of those hid kits and housings soon

 

Yeah the only factory key you can't get anymore is the one that came with the 10thAE, but the factory black round head is only like $5 as I recall. Most dealers just don't stock them and rather sell you the $2 key instead of ordering the factory key.


Yeah, I don't know if I am doing a group buy on them yet.

 

I just purchased an OEM key.

From the looks of it, the two keys are called "Primary" and "Secondary" in the parts catalogue; I can only assume the "primary' one is plastic coated.

Anyways, pricing for those are:

Primary = $12 CAD
Secondary = $9 CAD

When mine arrives I'll throw a picture up.


Secondly, if you give them your VIN, they should be able to look up the key code, as well as tell you some nifty stuff like manufacture/purchase date and sale location.

Found out my car was built on January 1st, 1989

 

Wow, the bitches down here in Hawaii told me the black-head keys were NLS.
:P


-Ted

 

Well, we`ll find out come mid next week.

There`s nothing really to say whether the key is plastic coated or not. The catalogue was pretty vague....

 

Ted, here;s the part number for the key I ordered:

HA43-76-201A

 

yeah i want to see an picture of it

 

You guys talking about this one?

 

Use dealership I bought from only had the Primary(? : Only works on doors and ignition). When I went to Mazda the one sales rep I talked to tried to initially deflect me; said I should just get a whole new key set for everything.

I am going to go back and talk to another rep later; try to find the one that did such a great job making sure everything for my 626 was done and done properly and talk to her. (I think she was the service dept manager and we kinda formed a decent understanding).

Anyway, my plan is to basically have a single copy of each from Mazda and get the rotary blanks from Mazdatrix cause I think they look really nice. I'll make two sets using the blanks and keep the ones Mazda made for me in my safe at home.

 

Going to order mine now, k bye

 

Aye, that;s what we;re looking to get.

 

can you order this over there site or do you have to do it at the dealership?

 

I couldn't tell you, the parts guy at my dealership (really awesome, however he knows me on a name basis now ) managed to find it.

Anyways, as promised:




Got it cut to the lock code off of my VIN, and works perfectly!

 

i went to my dealership and they gave me a 626 key instead. soo retarded. all i have is a special key made. cost me 110 bucks :\

 

$110? What the hell did you buy?

PS - that's the part number on the packaging, as well as what I posted earlier. I've already replaced the shitty knock off key for the OEM one - works perfectly fine.

 

Yeah, if you need one let me know. I can get them in California and ship it over too you.

If you have the 4 digit, I can even have it cut to spec for you.

 

Ditto, I can get the Primary and Secondary keys.

 

you think i can get a factory key?
cause there is alot of restrictions on guam
but the good thing is that we dont have a smog test

 

huh i guess my quick question turned into a discussion haha

 

what is exactly the difference between the primary and secondary key?

 

that be what i gotz

 

one is just to open doors and the other one is for the ignition

 

I have one key. It isnt stock but it opens all the doors and works with the ignition. Whats the deal?
