IIRC mazda can cut new keys for you if you have the VIN.

Yeah, just go to any dealer and let them know what happened, they can cut you a new one. You'll need to give them your VIN and Registration/title though.

Jon- Did they have new key's with the black plastic overmold?



I've always been meaning to score another one for the T2...but I tried one dealer and only had the Ilco straight metal ones...Thanks!

yeah, skim keys(pretty covered ones, some car companies put chips IN the cover) are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE...some customer almost freaked on me today because I told him a new key for his Chrysler Pacifica was gonna run him 94 bucks.
