So I'm locked outta my FC

We were pushing the car yesterday, and I used my keys to unlock the wheel. So today I'm like awww sh#t. No spare because I was going to go today, doors locked (electronic doors) sunroof down, and trunk locked. Any ideas, heh if you live in so cali and feel like breakin into my car with a jimmy feel free.

Know another guy with an FC? Half of the other time, his key should be able to work too. Otherwise, if you know how to pick or play with the locks, FC's are pretty easy to get into....

There was a thread a long time ago called "How to break into an FC"... I'd reccomend you search for it.

get a coat hanger and make it in the shape of a J or L and start fishing in the window crack.

I can get into my car within 15 seconds.

The other (Better) option would be take your title down to the local dealership and they will make a key for like 10-20 bux.

-They need the title for proof of ownership.

I've got a slim jim that gets me in quick. I don't see why a coat hanger wouldn't work.

dude, FB's are cake, and FC's aren't that much harder.

Get a flathead screwdriver and try it. I've had my key half in and it still unlocks sometimes.

If not, pick yourself up a set of lockpicks, it'll be incredibly easy to pick that lock in just a few seconds, probably by just raking it.

Just remove the molding that slides under the mirror... The long black one that keeps the window from banging around... it just pops upwards from the rear end then slide it out from under the mirror.... use a long thin screwdriver and push downwards on the rod that connects to the keycylinder... It's easy, it takes me literally 5 seconds.

As has already been said just go to your Mazda dealer. I brought my title over and they cut you a new key from the vin. No muss, no fuss and it only cost me 6 bucks for a nice black key with the Mazda logo and not some cheapy dupe.
