Don't know if you'll get this... had the same problem, but I was the problem. I was hitting the wrong switch. I thought it was the switch in the door, on the panel, but its the switch thats in the door jamb, the one that turn you overhead light off/on.
MP5_509 said:Sure. Its kinda hard to see with the flash but if u want another just lmk.
I'm still having a hard time deciding whether I like the new key. It's so much bigger, but it does look nicer with the silver Mazda emblem. I've seen it in person (my roommate has a Mazda3) but I still can't decide.

you like the regular black protege key over the newer style?
I still haven't gotten around to figuring out why the key pictured above that I ordered from ken can start my car and lock/unlock the glovebox but doesn't work in the doors. I'm just dreading the day when my keyless entry battery dies and I can't get in the car anymore.. hopefully I'm home when it happens so I can grab the spare key

Did your BJ come with an immobilizer? The Protege5s in North America didn't, so the chip in that Mazda3 key (the one I just linked to a pic of) just doesn't do anything for us.
yes, we have immobilisers, required by law for new vehicles since 1998 : makes the whole thing seem very difficult 
on the other hand.. every BJ owner has a 4 digit number for his keypair (prolly for the RFID chip for the immobiliser?), i wonder what would happen if i ordered a Mazda3 remote and gave them this number to put the code in the key

ok some small update: i investigated a bit and getting a switchblade key does not seem a problem anymore and the immobiliser chip can be transfered to the new key as well.
the "real" problem is to utilise the new remote control senders in the switchblade keyfob.
i had some email exchange with the manufacturer of aftermarket keyfobs and they do deliver a blackbox along with the aftermarket fobs that must be installed to the car's original central locking system. this sucks because then the original mazda keyfob wouldn't work anymore (which i think would be cool as a backup)(
if there was some nice aftermarket fob that could be taught/adapted to the systems frequencies would be the coolest thing, but it seems there are too many different frequencies and sending patterns

Yes, I believe the black plastic with chrome logo is a 3 key. The protege one is just black with no chrome. Yes, you need the ebay key without the groove.

So I bought a Mazda3 in 2007 and my sister just bought a 2008 Mazda5 and she has the VW like key and I want one for my car but the dealership is giving me the run around and I was wondering if you knew if it would work in my Mazda3 or not?(braindead
