i lost the keys to my 1994 rx7......will the dealearship beable to cut me new keys with just the VIN# or will i have to call a LOCKSMITH??

 

Mazda can cut a key with the VIN.

 

I never knew that!

 

how much does this cost

 

Any good locksmith can take the 4-5 digit code stamped on the body of your driver door lock (yes you need to take the door apart to get it) and cut you keys. A lock hut near by me did this for $25

 

Hmmm so every single FD key is different obviously?

I always wanted to know how that worked.

 

yes, every single key is different. make sure you have the vin# and you are the owner of the vehicl. if not they will not DO it for you.

 

I did this, you buy the blank for around $15, give your vin # and voila, new key. Better than going off a worn key or if you lost it all together. I suppose if you brought in an Efini blank you could have it done also.

 

When i have done this, i immediatly take the new key to have it copied while its nice and fresh. saves some money on the backups

 

My dealer cut mine for free when I brought em the blanks!

 

my local dealer cut me 2 keys with just the vin # they charge me 10 dollars each

 

just looked at my reciept

$11.92 for driver key

$8.42 for vallet key (does not turn ingnition)

 

+1 mine too. bought two key blanks, and he cut them from the VIN number at no charge.

 

you also have to show prof of ownership, like title or insurance card, registration.

 

I brought my car in, they cut the key and it didn't even fit in the ignition. Works great in the locks though. He tried it two more times and it still didn't work. Had to take it to a hardware store to get it copied before it would work. Probably used the wrong blank or something.

 

were did you get the vin# from?
if it was the dash maybe someone has replaced it before or swapped it.
sounds fishy

 

Probably used the "Vallet" code for the machine that cuts the keys.
