2006 Mazda RX-8 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A surfing instructor over in the Ventura Keys area had been running his 2006 RX-8 on a single smart key for two years. Bought the car used, always meant to get a spare, never did. He finally called the Mazda dealer and the quote made him keep looking. He found me online that same afternoon.
I met him at the beach lot on a weekday morning. The car was sitting there with sand on the floor mats and a wetsuit drying over the passenger seat. He handed me the one working fob so I could verify the system, then I got to work.
I used a MAZ24 Lishi tool to decode the door lock by reading each wafer position, then cut an emergency blade to match without needing his original insert key, which he had lost somewhere in his apartment months ago. The RX-8 runs Mitsubishi's transponder protocol on the immobilizer side, and the smart key module (part number NFY7-67-5RYB on the fob housing) registers through the OBD port. Programmed the new BGBX1T458SKE11A01 fob, tested push-button start, tested all four buttons, verified the door handle touch sensors on both sides. About 35 minutes total.
He watched the whole thing from a camp chair. When the engine fired on the new key, he just nodded and said he should have done this a year ago.
He left with two working smart keys for a fraction of what the dealer wanted for one.

What certified service looks like in reviews
“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
