RX8 Retractable Key
Those RX8 owner that purchase their car earlier before the "Retractable Key" was release, can have MM do for you. Cost around $200+ including programming and the immobliser.
I just done it today at MM when servicing my car. Just that the "trunk" button dun seems working, i going back there tomolo to get it done.

Does our MM have immobliser ?
So do that means that once I buy the key I will be able to activate or use the immobliser on the rx8?
Please advice

You have to pass them all the remotes (think MM have 2)
Yes, they re-program the whole entire remote with the immobliser , so that when u insert the Retractable Key, it works the same as your previous key.
I will try to take some pictures this afternoon and post it.

Well, I don't know what/who MM is, but just get a remote with an already cut key on eBay, then a replacement key from Mazdaparts and program it yourself - should cost way less than that.
I just did the same thing, and my remote + new key with all shipping charges included was about 85 US dollars.

only recently MM managed to bring in retractable keys suitable for 2004 FE32. the 200+ mentioned is in singapore dollars (including labour). after conversion, a brand new uncut retractble key and remote is sold at about USD110 (SGD180+) here.

Yeah, those bought the RX8 later will get the retractable key
Some of us, like me bought much earlier, was just a normal key (means Key and Remote is separated)

But MM say if there's, it wouldn't be just the "keyless fob", rather some major changes, like the door handle, the ingition, coz you need to put the "sensor chips". (Guess Pro and Con)

Maybe we can tell MM we need 10 keys and ask for the price?
Collect the money 1st then pay them in one shot.

i did it while servicing my car coz that will save time waiting there.
Take note: you got to bring all the keys and remotes (including the spare, MM RX8 owner should have 2 remotes, you got to bring all)
Basically, i think MM re-programmed the remote on the "Jack-Knife" key remote together with the rest that you have.
I doubt MM will give any special prices for grp buy, but again, no harm trying.
