Replacement four-button smart-card key housing with an uncut emergency blade. Designed to refresh a worn or cracked card case while retaining the original compatible electronics.
Fitment and compatibility
- 2006–2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata and 2004–2009 Mazda RX-8 equipped with the matching four-button advanced smart-card key.
- Buttons: lock, unlock, trunk release and red panic. This is the thin rectangular card style, not a folding key or later rounded proximity remote.
- Compare the original card dimensions, all four buttons, blade profile, emergency-key retaining mechanism and internal circuit-board mounting points before purchase.
- Not for three-button CX-7/CX-9 cards or vehicles using a different remote housing.
Included and installation
- One black ABS smart-card shell with button pad and uncut emergency blade. No circuit board, immobilizer chip or battery is included.
- Transfer the original compatible electronics and battery. Retaining the original electronics normally avoids reprogramming.
- Have the replacement blade cut by a qualified locksmith. The empty case cannot start or unlock the vehicle by itself.
Aftermarket replacement housing, not a Mazda OEM remote.
