Newbie here to the board. Just bought a 08 GT and it is in like new condition, but the dealer only had one smartcard (the dealer likely lost the other card).
One of my sources was able to get me a new style smart key for the 2010/2011 CX-9 GT. The aux key has already been cut, so I figured I can just buy a new aux key for it and have the dealer program the new smart fob. When I asked the service dept, they looked like I had two heads, and then told me that the pre-2010 GT's used an advanced smartcard system, but that the new GT's fob is not actually a "smart" system, and that programming would not be possible. Now, obviously they have no idea what they are talking about because the current GT out there uses a smart fob, and still has the ignition cover that you have to turn to start the car. Does anyone know if you can program the new fob's to work with the pre-2010 model? If not, is anyone interested in buying a 10/11 fob so i can buy another older style fob?
