2009 Mazda RX-8 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A traveling photographer staying at a rental in Downtown Ventura called me one evening. She had locked her only smart key inside the RX-8 and had a shoot the next morning. The Mazda dealer told her two business days minimum plus a tow. That was not going to work.
I met her at the condo that night. The RX-8's advanced key is a 4-button unit, FCC ID BGBX1T458SKE11A01, with a built-in emergency blade for the driver's door. I used the blade slot on the door handle to get her in. Key in hand, problem half solved.
The other half was making a spare so she would never be in this spot again. I connected my IM508S through the OBD port, pulled the immobilizer data from the body control module, and registered a new fob. The RX-8 runs the Mitsubishi-based security protocol, 128-bit DST+, and the programming has a timed handshake that takes a few minutes to cycle through. Cut the emergency blade in the van, tested all four buttons, tested the push-button start from both front seats, checked driver and passenger door handles for proximity detection.
She watched the whole thing from the sidewalk, holding a coffee, looking relieved.
Total time on site was about 35 minutes. She got a working spare and made her morning call. The dealer route would have eaten two days she did not have.

“Marco came out quickly, cut and programmed a new BMW key fob fast, and was extremely polite and professional.”
“My Sprinter van key broke and I was stranded. Marco was very friendly and helped me get three new keys quickly. I will definitely be using them again.”
