2005 Mazda RX-8 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I got a call from a woman staying out in San Diego Country Estates, one of those quiet stretches of Ramona where the nearest Mazda dealer feels like a different zip code emotionally. She was up there for a photography shoot, traveling light, and her only key for a 2005 RX-8 had been locked inside the car since that afternoon. She had already called the dealer. They told her two business days minimum and a tow, which meant missing her shoot entirely.
When I pulled up, she was sitting on the front steps with her camera bag, clearly running the math on how badly the day had gone. The RX-8 was in the driveway, locked up, keys visible through the window.
I got her into the car first, which took the immediate pressure off. Then we talked about a spare key, because a car like this with one key in circulation is a problem waiting to repeat itself.
The RX-8 uses a remote head key with a blade that turns in the ignition. The transponder inside that blade is what the immobilizer reads at startup. I cut a replacement blade to her vehicle and programmed the transponder through the OBD port. The four-button remote housing matched the factory fob she had. Start to finish, about 25 minutes of actual work once the car was open.
She tested it, started the car, locked and unlocked the doors, and looked at me like she half expected something to go wrong. Nothing did.
The dealer route would have burned her whole trip. She saved a good chunk and made her shoot the next morning.

Quick service that speaks for itself
“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”
“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”
“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”
